brut heat + rope
May. 10th, 2007 10:00 amIt feels hot this morning, and I got 5.5 hours of sleep so I feel sort of out of sorts. On the up side, I drank a bottle of champagne with Seth and Matt (mostly between Matt and me) at 1:30 last night, and finished my paper, so I feel good despite the heaviness in my finger joints and humid feeling in my room.
A question for those of you who know about this sort of thing:
I just got this nice rope, and I don't want it to get all kinked and full of bad habits. But I also want to store it neatly. Right now I have it coiled like any other line (ie, not flat coiled on the floor but coiled and wrapped with the bight around the bundle). I put all the little bundles in this dinky wooden tape box (you know, the kind with an accordion top that rolls back) because I like having things all neatly packed away. Is this a bad idea? What's a better one?
