In which this is all the news that’s fit to print, and it ain’t much. We had friends over so I stayed up way too late last night, and now I’m sleepy. You’d think someone pushing 40 would have figured out how to go to bed on time, but no. I act like a little […]
In which there’s a totally half-assed review of a book I’m still reading! I’m currently reading Alpha Centauri, which came in one of the boxes of books my mom sent. “From a grossly overpopulated Earth in 2239 A.D., an exploratory colonization mission to Alpha Centauri finds Mies Cochrane carrying an autovirus inside him that, after […]
In which xkcd continues to be one my most favorite strips. I love xkcd because interspersed among the math/geek strips are random gems like this one: Heh. Guess what I’m doing this weekend!
In which my mom is better than your mom, because your mom didn’t send me TWO BOXES OF BOOKS. When I got home from work tonight, I was greeted by the glorious sight of two boxes of books on the porch. My mom sent me TWO BOXES OF BOOKS. Hell to the yeah, bitches! There’s […]
In which I go on a wild little trip! On St. Pat’s we got all riled up and decided for no good reason whatsoever to go to the casino. It’s less than an hour away, and we had sober drivers, so off we went — at one-thirty in the morning! It was a strange idea […]
In which today is a silly holiday. Silly. So silly. So, I’m Irish. I have some Irish blood, at any rate, but my family never observed any notable Irish behaviors. Anyway, St. Patrick’s Day is just a weird holiday, the way it’s celebrated here. Green beer, and adults punching one another if they don’t spot […]
In which I make the best of it. I stopped for gas on the way out of town, and in spite of my nice interview clothes I took a look underneath the jeep. The exhaust has rusted out. Parts of it are hanging down all over the place, and so I called and canceled my […]
In which there’s food and drink. My girl Raybo texted me last night and asked me what I was doing. I texted back that I was doing nothing. (Which wasn’t exactly true. I was sitting on my bedroom floor in my pajamas, winding a ball of sock yarn.) She replied that she’d like to take […]
In which I bore my non-knitting readers half to death. I’ve been knitting myself a hat. This is the third hat that I’ve started for myself; the other two I gave away because when they were finished they weren’t my hat. This hat is brown and pink, which are totally my colors. It’s not fuzzy, […]
In which there’s a parcel! Yay! The mailman came back this afternoon and left a box on the porch. This box contains the items I got with the Patternworks gift certificate my mom sent me for Christmas: I’ve been waiting for this box for over a week! I got a felted clog pattern, 2 skeins […]
