So.. it snowed a lot in D.C. this past weekend. LIke.. 3 feet or so. Check this time lapse someone did of all the snow. This past weekend was also shmoocon. Which I wasn’t attending this year, but shmoo was going to, until he had to cover for people not showing up to work and [...]

So, like.. it’s cold. Fall is definitively here and I just want to say, I’d like a little more of cool late summer back please! Vacation was good and much needed. I got yarn. DSC00869 DSC00871 And new awesomely awesome shoes, which it is now too cold to wear…. DSC00867 And my mom caught a [...]

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 [...]

Hooray for Big Whiskey.

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 [...]

My favorite Atlanta radio station, the one that got me through highschool and college vacations (too far away to get reception in south Georgia) and traffic jams, and years of my early working life IS BACK. Which means I can again listen to it online despite not being in Atlanta. I lurve the interwebs!

Last Monday, we got a ton of snow. This was what my porch and trees looked like midmorning. And it still snowed a for several more hours. porchsnow treesnow The two days after it quit snowing, it was 7 and then 9 (F) when shmoo left for work and didn’t get much warmer. I think [...]

I am back from Pittsburgh. I got back last Thursday afternoon actually. It was a good trip but a tiring one. The Hyatt near the airport is nice. I ate one of those sandwiches with slaw and fries on it. I drank a beer. I did a tiny bit of knitting. But not enough to [...]

I am cautiously optimistic about so many things today. The future of our Nation. Actually finishing a knit sock. The future of bear tanking in Warcraft. And in this post I plan to talk about the first, show pictures of the second, and remain silent about the third. There will be a rant today. This [...]

Is it just me, or is Pamela Anderson getting to look more and more like Phyllis Diller as she gets older?
