Like riding bicycle

So... I bought myself a sewing machine. I've never had one of my own before, and it's probably been something like ten years since I last used one. Yet, sitting in front of it today was like riding a bicycle, mind didn't remember but the body did. My hands would automatically go where needed, and I was amazed several times when I did something I didn't remember how to do.

I did some sewing while watching Lost - I'm really underwhelmed with the third season so far, and if it doesn't get better in the next few episodes I think I won't bother... there are better things to do and watch than this. Instead of taking charge and taking hold of all the threads, the writers are just letting them lose, and keep adding more in - I mean, time travel was probably one of the last things that they didn't already have.

Galactica seems to be kicking ass and taking names and I greatly enjoyed the two latest episodes - I especially loved Michael Hogan's and Kate Vernon's performances as Saul and Ellen Tigh, they were both incredibly touching. And the scene where Saul meets the admiral again made me cry - usually Edward James Olmos is the dominating actor, but this time he knew just how to play the supporting part and Michael Hogan's portrayal of the frail Saul Tigh was gut-wrenchingly bitter-sweet.

I definitely agree about sewing. It works so much better the less you think about what you're doing, and just let hands, foot and machine take care of it. I tend to focus on BBC7 radio webcasts or films while sewing. (I must have seen "Gosford Park", "The Others" and all the "Sense and Sensibilities" like a hundred times now, and will probably reach K:s before my wedding attire is finished).

@ Jaana-Mari: so you people keep telling me... I don't know, superheroes are really not my thing...

@ Taika: excellent idea, and I bet podcasts and audio books would work really well too :)

The previous Jaana-Mari must have been Henri, but I agree, Heroes! (Or I´ve completely blacked out while commenting...scary)
