for your eyes only

Thanks to some quality knitting time during Memoirs of a Geisha* yesterday, and For Your Eyes Only** today, I'm happy to say I've cast off of the mystery knitting project. No guessing what it is (though many of you likely already have it figured out). I'm really looking forward to weaving in the ends, blocking it and finally giving it to the wee little man.

[Sorry about the poor lighting in the photo.]

*Memoirs of a Geisha was, as I expected, pretty cheesy and bad. The visuals were nice, though I wish they would have tried to be more accurate with the makeup and costumes. Here's an excellent review of the film and surrounding controversy.

**I am quite a Bond fan, so although For Your Eyes Only is also ridiculously cheesy, I do like it (except for that figure skating chick).

To keep things somewhat interesting, here are some random links for today (not knit-related)...
• The Ambassador's Last Stand [via] - The famous Ambassador Hotel, home of the Cocoanut Grove and the site of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination is no more.
• Dr Bronner's Soap label-quote generator [via]
• This is very, very wrong.
• Project Runway's Emmett is opening a boutique and Daniel is on Friendster.
• shhhh

MOG is something I probably won't watch, I didn't enjoy the book much so I doubt I'll like the movie. I like how your mystery project is progressing... can't wait to see the FO :)

That review really is good. I probably won't see the movie because I DID like the book so much. This just reaffirms my suspicions.
