We went camping at Assateague this past weekend. Didn’t take any photos, but had a relaxing time none the less. It was a good trip, with one exception… The rental car and the douchebag* at the local Enterprise Car Rental Agency. First, we got there and he had us sit down at his desk, which [...]

DMB’s new CD is out today and this makes me very happy. If I had to say why I liked their music so much, I think it’s because they just really get life and all it’s crazy and communicate well in their music. Not much crafting in general to report. I’ve been poking away at [...]

How many of you wear glasses? Yeah, me too! (Non-glasses wearing people feel free to skip this post.) So.. one of the WoW-ish related blogs I read happened to mention that she had ordered her glasses online and how she was waiting for them to come in and she hoped they didn’t suck. They came, [...]

So there’s a new knitty up. And…. wait for it…. I like it. I added 3 things to my ravelry queue. THREE! And there were other things I considered and then figured “nah, I’ll get around to that” on. In case you are dying of curiosity those three are Posey, Laminaria, and Spirogyra. And I [...]

So, after posting Sunday, I decided to go ahead and finish up my scarf. I figured it was just stockinette in the round, I should be able to knock it out quickly and have a fabulous scarf for knitting group on Monday night. I was so very very wrong. I finished the scarf, and then [...]

Shmoo messaged me from work. He said I had a box, and it was big and ugly. I asked where it was from, and when he said North Carolina, I squealed. My wheel had arrived. I cannot express my excitement. I was ready for him to come home right then! Luckily it was pretty late [...]

Ok, so last night I went to knitting night with the girls and forgot my knitting bag. Doh! So I ran into JoAnn’s really quick to see what there was to get by with. Well, they had the new Paton’s SWS (Soy Wool Stripes) and all I can say is, man I am in LOVE. [...]

Today I stumbled across this article. And went to this website. And then clicked to see how much money they were charging for this crap, and found that out here. That’s right folks, you too can have a marvelously super-tacky 9″ pair of straight needles for the low low price of 38 bucks plus shipping [...]

The new knitty is up. With a assload of sock patterns. Ok, it’s really an “extremities” issue and it would appear from reading the scoop that it’s another mini issue (and the last!) rather like the men’s issue last summer. Glancing over it quickly, I like…. Baudelaire -Yes I know it’s by the same person [...]

It has occurred to me that I use way too many exclamation marks. Both in blogging and in my e-mails. Maybe I am just too excitable. So I have been trolling for new podcasts, and spent much of yesterday listening to them. (I was going to watch Dune -the original movie one, not the SciFi [...]
