Comfort yarn

I need something soft and pink to knit. I finished my pink thingey I had been doing and made it into a purse for a friend. Right now I'm distracted by this internet buzz about Kevin Underwood. What really makes people do these things? His blog reads like a modern version of Death of a Salesman. I mean, who would know this guy was going to snap? I mean, I like to compulsively shop, I am white middle class, and I have social anxiety. But I'm not secretly plotting to kill or eat anyone, much less rape their corpse. EWWWWWWWW! After two hours voyueristically reading through his boring posts and various sensationalized news articles, I can remember why I kept reading that kooky advice I got last year: don't read the news, it just drags you down. Totally true I feel like I need a brain scrub.
