Madame Defarge

So last night, Katie and I were talking about how our men work in the bar scene, and how neither she, nor I are terribly won't to hang out in a bar. Mostly because we both enjoy handy crafts that would seem somewhat pathetic or just odd if carried out in a bar.

Then we got to talking about WHY it would be considered weird to bring one's knitting to a bar. People bring books to bars all the time... Why NOT knitting? Is it because bars are supposed to be for socializing? Perhaps. But if that were the case, then there should be no problem with TWO people bringing their knitting to a bar and sitting in a corner TOGETHER and knitting, right?

Right.

Especially not if they were knitting messages about the revolution into their sweaters... Thank you, Charles Dickens.

We are such geeks.

Geekery:

In other news, I'm dorky enough to report that I can post to LJ from the bus. On the plus side, I am no longer sad that I left my iPod at home. On the minus side, reading LJ on the bus makes me car sick...
