The 2010 Winter Olympics begin tomorrow in Vancouver and I’m super excited. Not only am I an avid watcher of the Olympics, I participate in my own way. Back in 2006, the Yarn Harlot challenged knitters across the world to undertake their own Olympic challenge, to tack a challenging project from start to finish within [...]
Why hello there!
Thanks to my six die hard followers who keep up with me even when I’m less than faithful about posting. You’d think nothing noteworthy was happening, but well, that’s just not true! Summer is in full swing here and (shhh don’t tell anyone I said it) the last few days have been GORGEOUS. Warm but [...]
Kiri
I realize that as of late I haven’t really been updating. I don’t know whether it’s the summer heat (for the past week we’ve been in the 110+ range with heat index) or that I’m just spending so much time engrossed in my knitting and Ravelry, that I don’t feel I have much of interest [...]
Doing the Hulu.
My temp work has been a little spotty of late, so I’ve been home the better part of this week. Looking for entertainment, and finding none on live television, I have checked out Hulu.com. I have to say that I’m loving it. The first few days I caught up on recent episodes of The Daily [...]
Off the Needles.
This weekend was fairly quiet. It threatened to rain most of it, so we opted to stay indoors for the most part. We did a fair amount of cleaning, managing to make several trips to the dumpster and fill my car up with stuff for Goodwill. We also managed to clear a lot of the [...]
Positively HORRIBLE
I don’t know if you’ve heard too much about it, but Dr. Horrible is the new craze that’s sweeping the (geek) nation. Dr. Horrible is the latest series from Joss Whedon, starring Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion. They sing, they dance, they do their laundry a lot. So far only two 13-minute [...]
Oops I did it again.
That is, forget to post for a week. I know, just 6 months ago I was posting multiple times a day and now I’m lucky if I post a few times a week! I attribute part of it to my not working in an office environment every day; half my stories used to be weird [...]
A day in Kansas
Well today dawned a bit chilly (think 19 degrees) so I opted to stay in. Mostly I’ve been just hanging around the house. I loaded up the second bedroom closet, unpacked a few more boxes, got the rest of the boxes out of the living room, exercised (1+ miles) and found Fancast. This is a [...]
That really chaps my hide.
Lately I’ve been watching quite a bit of the Discovery channel and I’ve gotten hooked on Everest: Beyond the Limit 2007. This is a TV series that follows an expedition of mountain climbers and guides as they attempt to summit beautiful, awesome and deadly Mt. Everest. Tonight I watched my dvr’d Episode 7 to see [...]
Weekend Wrapup.
Well I had hoped to have more than one finished object for this evening, but alas I worked all day and played all night so I didn’t quite make it. I did finished the Cabled Blanket this weekend though. Thanks to all who chimed in on the border – I decided to go with a [...]
