The SSShawl is going swimmingly. I just completed row 80 of Clue 2. Of course, others have already completed Clue 3 which came out on Tuesday. Oh well, I’ll catch up to them eventually.
The shawl is uber pretty. The alpaca sometimes gets kinda stuck on the needles, but only if I’ve been holding it in [...]
I bought this fabulous knitting pattern from Cookie A called the Twisted Flower sock. Sure, the cabling can get annoying at times and my fingers hurt a bit and I’ve had a cable needle in my mouth pretty much all day, but all in all, I really like the pattern. It’s well written and the [...]
Today’s Labor Day which means no class! w00t!
Anywayz, I went to see The Wicker Man last night with Michelle and her mom. It sounded like a really good movie and the beginning was actually pretty good. A tad strange, but good. But then.. no no no. *shakes head* It just fell apart. It really did. [...]
Okay, I’ve read the whole book of poetry by Tony Harrison called Selected Poems. What a waste of time. Seriously, 250 pages of nothing but crappy poetry which sounds like something a teenager had written. Lots of swearing, politics, showing off how “smart” he is by throwing in other languages… and he came off as [...]
Wow.. just got my first ever spam comments. Advertising some online poker. So honoured. -_-;;
I’ve just been counting condoms again.. The site Condoms-Cheap is up again and I was enlisted to do inventory of the stock available.. Yippee! *rolls eyes*
To tell the truth, I can’t tell the difference between a natural condom and a ribbed [...]
So now we’ve got the German, Russian and Japanese discs of Pimsleur.. All are quite good.
Russian seems to bee the easiest to pronounce. Go figure. For some reason I almost say gazpacho every time I’m supposed to say Mrs. (gezpajra?).. And if my mind starts to wander while doing a lesson, I might say the [...]
We’ve just completed the 3D puzzle of Big Ben. 1400 odd pieces.. the windows were a real pain. So now it’s standing proudly on the coffee table in the living room. 127 cm in height.. in the end I had to stand on a chair while we attached the roof of it to the walls. [...]
Haven’t listened to Pimsleur’s German for a few days. Tsk tsk. But at least we’re one ninth done. They had us repeat the one of the worst sentences ever: “jetzt nichts essen”. I can’t do that in the normal speed one’d use in a conversation. The different S sounds are too confusing. Just like back [...]
We finished playing Silent Hill 2 a few days ago. Got the “Leave” ending. Was pretty much what I expected it to be, after playing Silent Hill and Silent Hill 4. There were two things that got me by surprise.
1) the newspaper article about Walter Sullivan (and then later finding his grave)
2) the writing on [...]
