jo and i stayed up all night watching life on the murder scene and cobra starship vids on youtube. while we were at uncle bill’s, at, like, two in the morning, she said to me, i think if we started a band it would save my life, and all i could think was that gerard [...]
the panic at the disco show wasn’t all that, or a bag of chips. i, for about a minute, seriously considered writing my rft review with a decidedly negative slant (dudes have been touring for almost three years straight and still can’t pull together a dec live show? what?) and calling it: panic at the [...]
my laptop runs really hot. i’ve been warned that laptops aren’t really supposed to be used on the lap, but i never listen. i burnt myself so badly a few days ago that the blisters are only just now going down. it doesn’t hurt at all, it’s just uncomfortable when my laptop is on my [...]
when jozelle got off the airplane, she felt fuzzy, so i took her to get a tattoo. it is a heart with a torch, held together with stitches, wrapped with a banner that says STRONG. it is gorgeous. her tattoo artist was a guy named mark who was super fucking adorable. she rolled into the [...]
i used some noro kureyon to make wrist wwarmers/fingerless gloves/whatever. i need to find someone with wrists as thick as mine, but hands that are smaller, b/c they are slightly too small. actually, the problem is that they are not long enough, but i felt like attempting something elbow-length was too intense for my first [...]
this is my ball winder. i bought if off ebay under a week ago, and it came really quickly. i clamped it to the table my laptop sits on and wound all the yarn i could find into balls. this is the noro kureyon that i am using to knit my lace shawl. apparently this [...]
my younger sister has moved into an apartment with her fiance. i am crocheting them a lace doily. i’m not sure why; it just seems like the thing to do. i crocheted quite a bit of it yesterday, and another bit of it today — except i realized on row 30 that i’d made a [...]
tonight annie and i had an adventure: we drove into alton, il, to go to a venue called “illinoise” — cute, right? the band we saw was pretty decent, although i can’t remember their name. oh well. they sounded kind of like cave in to my untrained ear. the venue was okay, but the sound [...]
yesterday i fell asleep before 10 pm, which was nice, but it meant that i didn’t get to finish crocheting my lace doily. anyway, when i woke up this morning, i decided that i didn’t like it, so while i ate mashed potatoes for breakfast, i ripped it out, and now i’m starting over on [...]
i have this incredibly ugly yarn that is 100% cotton. it is slightly heavier than sock yarn, but not quite DK. i lost the wrapper for it, so i have no idea what it is; this sucks because it means that i can’t even properly complain about how i can’t do anything with this yarn. [...]
