argh.

Note to self:  when your intent is to increase in four specific places on one row and then knit the next row plain and then increase on the third row and knit the fourth row plain and so on, it's a good idea to be paying close enough attention that you know whether you're in a row where you increase or not, and that you remember this for the duration of the row, so you don't increase at the beginning but not at the end and end up with an odd number of stitches, which cannot possibly divide by four.

It may not be the smartest idea to cast on while watching old-school Doctor Who with the skiffy gang.

dude.

BIG fucking storm just blew in.  I mean -- they said it was going to rain today, right, but this thing came in fast.

On the bright side, I suppose that means it will depart relatively quickly as well, and maybe the cable will come back on soon.

In other news, I have been cleaning and reorganizing and ruthlessly throwing shit away today, and the result is that at the moment my apartment is ... well, it's controlled chaos, for the most part, but the bathroom is cleaner than it has been since I moved in.  Yay!  (Unfortunately, none of the random things I've been sorting through has been a spare belt for the one in my vacuum cleaner that just snapped, so my suspicion that I won't finish the job tonight is now a certainty.  Sigh.)
