oh how I wish

I watched the The History Boys two nights ago (in my great quest to finish the "secret" knitting thing, I've tivo'd a nice pile of movies to watch on the bedroom tv, but I digress).  I do wish sometimes I had studied literature, philosophy, the classics. Ah, the ability to quote Thoreau instead of Monty Python, Nietzsche instead of Eddie Izzard.  Well, nothing to be done about it now, other than to keep reading.  And on reading, knitting certainly gets in the way of it. But, the secret knitting calls (actually shouts loudly, cursing my name) I guess I'll save that for another post.

Well all I can quote is lyrics from 80s songs so it could be much than Monty Python and Eddie Izzard for you. Tell that knitting to hush and that you are doing your best. I can't wait until you can tell the world about it.

I find that quoting Thoreau or Nietzche generally results in blank stares and people nodding at you ('yes, she's definitely crazy, so I won't make any sudden moves ...' kind of nodding) so you are really better off with Monty Python anyway.
