Compiling

I'm currently compiling my 'Year in Review' post for Thursday. This involves lots of thinking, and rereading previous posts as well.

I think I may be going cross-eyed (and possibly cross-brained, too). Maybe this year's post will be full of photos?

Swap Stuff Received

Recently I was in two swaps. Both had deadlines of Halloween.

The first (Love Bites II):



and a close up:



The second (Detritus swap):



and a close up of the yarn:



I loved everything in both boxes! I'm just not witty enough to gush properly at the moment.

New Shows!

So, here's my new weekly listing:

Monday: House, Castle
Tuesday:
Wednesday: Eastwick
Thursday: Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice
Friday: Dollhouse

Weekend: Vampire Diaries (maybe)

What are you watching this season?

Hi there

Remember me? Yeah, I've been pulled away from the blog for a while. Life and things.

Let's see, I've been riding the bike once or twice a week, once on the weekend (when possible) and once to and from work.

I got about 4 inches lopped off of my hair, but unfortunately haven't taken a picture of the new 'do yet. I'm working on it. There will be a before/after photo as soon as I get a chance.

Oh yes, remember about a year ago when I posted about the trike race at work? No? It's back there somewhere, I swear! Anyway, it's that time of year again! And yes, I have a team ready. We race next Thursday evening. It should be interesting, as half of my old team no longer works here. I'm hoping to remember my camera to get some new pics to add.

I've been playing D&D or variations thereof with OH and 'the guys'. So far, I've only died once. That's pretty impressive for me!

That's what I've been up to, how about you?

Step Away from the Bookstore

Since joining Goodreads, I've been able to keep track of my books/authors more. Which is a good thing. Usually.

I was putting my latest purchases into my (virtual) bookshelf, and realized something.

I have 23 books waiting to be read! On my real bookshelf.

I need to stop collecting them, and actually read some of them.

Here's what's on my TBR pile (in no particular order):

• Fuzzy Navel - J.A. Konrath
• Curse the Dawn - Karen Chance
  
• Dayhunter - Jocelynn Drake
  
• Obsession, Deceit, and Really Dark Chocolate - Kyra Davis
  
• Dead Beat - Jim Butcher
• Double Play - Jill Shalvis
• The Dangerous Book for Demon Slayers - Angie Fox
• Remember Me? - Sophie Kinsella
• White Night - Jim Butcher
• Small Favor - Jim Butcher
• Furies of Calderon - Jim Butcher
• The Phantom of the Opera - Gaston Leroux
• Speak of the Devil - Jenna Black
• Inkdeath - Cornelia Funke
• A Match Made in Hell - Terri Garey
• Night Shift - Lilith Saintcrow
• Hunter's Prayer - Lilith Saintcrow
• An Ice Cold Grave - Charlaine Harris
• Whitewash - Alex Kava
• At Grave's End - Jeanine Frost
• The Devil You Know - Jenna Black
• The Devil's Due - Jenna Black
• Proven Guilty - Jim Butcher

Those are just the ones I own. There's an additional half dozen that aren't out yet....

Movie Reviews

I watched a few movies last night. I figured I'd share my thoughts on them here. Now, just remember, I'm no Ebert and I don't do this for a living...

Star rating:
* - What were they smoking?? * * - Eh. * * * - Pretty good. * * * * - I really liked it. * * * * * - Awesome!


He's Just Not That Into You
* * * 1/2

As chick flicks go, I liked this one. Not something I feel I need to rush out and buy, but good enough to rent. If OH were watching it with me, he'd probably heckle the entire movie. Even though I had a pretty good idea about how it would end, it was a fun movie to watch.


Passengers
* *

Anne Hathaway tries a serious role that doesn't include a makeover. I kept having flashbacks to The Sixth Sense while watching this. It felt somewhat disjointed to me. And I kept wondering when it would get good.


Wanted
* * *

This movie is a good 'guy flick'. Lots of action and explosions and guns! Felt a hint of Fight Club in it at times. There are a few scenes I really got a kick out of (but am not going to write about just in case you've not seen this movie yet) and I wasn't yanked horribly out of my suspension of disbelief. If you start putting thought into it, you will probably find lots of errors about this and that. If you want a decent movie with lots of flying bullets and some nifty explosions, give it a shot.

Too hot to think

We've reached the upper 80s-early 90s now. And, considering it's about 20 degrees warmer inside where I work, I've come up with my excuse for not blogging so much recently:

"Can't brain today, I haz teh heat-deth."

Stay cool and hopefully I'll have some pretty pictures soon.

Back to it

I was on vacation last week. Or, rather, staycation. It was nice to not have to go to work. I was able to do some things around the house that I usually don't have the time or inclination to do. Like rearrange the living room. It kind of scared OH when I messaged him with what I was doing, due to my ... grace.

And, I'm writing this post on my nifty new LAPTOP! Woo hoo! Which means that I'm not chained to the desk upstairs.

On the knitting front, I've made quite a dent in my Stormqueen shawl/thingy. I only have about 40 rounds left to do, plus the edging. But I had to put it down for a little while now that one round is 500+ stitches (and still growing). But it's real pretty :)

I'm now on R123. Or maybe 125. Right in there somewhere. Here's a photo of it at R90:

Can't Resist

See, I had to share some of these. I dare you not to say 'Awwww' or laugh.

Eeeeee!

I just ordered my very own (and first ever) laptop today! In about a month, I should receive it. Oh, and I got more yarn to add to my stash too!

Unfortunately, Murphy had a chat with Karma, and my luck has pretty much sucked the rest of the day. Nothing major, except maybe the dryer, but you know how all those little things can pile up.

Right?

My Leg Muscles Atrophied

Apparently. And here's why:



But to be fair, OH joined in my insanity:



I'm thinking that if I work my endurance level up and time frame down, I can ride mine to and from work some in the spring/summer/fall. Like I said, INSANITY!

And they don't quite fit in the downstairs closet like we'd hoped. So now I need to do another round of Spring Fling Frenzy, apparently.

I'm Slipping...

I'm starting to slack on my posts. I try to post at least once a week, but some weeks I've got nothing interesting to say. So, I wait. Then I forget when something noteworthy happens. My apologies, my dear three readers.

OH and I went through a Spring Cleaning Frenzy today. Yes, it deserves the capital letters. He'd already started by the time I got home from vising Mom. We'd been planning to get rid of the short couch (loveseat) and clear out the downstairs closet so we'd have room for the bicycles we're planning on buying in the next few weeks. He had the area cleared between the short couch and the door, had cleaned out (mostly) under the cushions, and swept the floors. I came home, finished up under the cushions and we carted it over to the dumpster (which luckily is close enough for us to drag stuff to, but far enough away if someone throws out the smelly stuff). Less than 3 hours later, when we were carting out (yet) another load of junk, the couch was gone. Dumpster divers to the rescue, I presume.

It's a little bit creepy when said divers practically accost you on the way there, though. I shudder to think what the inside of their home looks like....

So now we have more walking space in the living room and the crack room. And two functional closets again!

Karma's Bitch

That was me Friday evening.

It all started with me having nothing to do at work wanting to go home early. I managed to talk my boss into letting me go home. It would boost our daily efficiency (which the higher-ups are really really keen on right now, even though their program/s to track this is so fubar-ed, it's not funny) by having less man-hours for the shift. And I'd been doing my job so well that no one was even making eye contact with me lest I point out something else for them to clean (ha).

So, anyway, he said yes and I danced a little happy dance (in my head). I ran an errand, off-the-clock, and then headed home. Insert Karma's bitch-slapping of me here.

I had a little accident.

Seriously, I had a minor traffic accident less than two blocks from work.

I had nothing on in the car to distract me. Radio was off. Cell phone was ... ok, cell phone was on my leg, but I wasn't talking on it. Or texting. I had it on my leg because it was gouging a hole in my hip pocket. Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, seat belt on (always), etc. I was even doing the posted speed limit (30 mph).

Then this big red Dodge pickup truck appears in the oncoming lane. And decides he needs to turn left. In front of me! Without signaling!

My thought process went like this: OMIGOD! While my foot automatically slams the brakes (thank the powers that be that I changed them just a few weekends ago. Yes, I changed my own front brakes, with some help from my uncle.) and my hands yank the wheel as far left as it will go. The next semi-coherent thought while I'm swerving like hell is Don'tletmehititdon'tletmehiDAMMIT!

Then there's the sound we all know and dread. Screech/crunch! Accompanied by a bit of a jarring. Luckily, no one was hurt. It was a minor fender bender.

I got out of the car to check out the damage. My front bumper is cracked a bit, the hood has some denting, the front fender? (right over the wheel) is pretty banged up, and the passenger door won't open. Thought: SHIT! I was thinking about a new car, but NOT YET!

The other driver admitted fault (and it's in the police report) so my insurance won't go up. Did I mention that no one was injured?

Moral of the story: If you're going to worm your way out of work early on a Friday evening, think twice because Karma is there playing hi-lo with Fate as to whether or not to smack you down a peg.

(ETA: And I gained 3 years of age, thanks to the local paper....)

Rewarding

Sometimes, I hate my job. Most of the time, it's just a means to an end. And then there's the occasional highlight.

Two of my coworkers are returning to their home country. They'd been at the plant for a few years (I'm ashamed to say I don't know how many for sure) and, as far as I could see, were liked by everyone. They always came in on time, rarely missed, did the job, and didn't have a problem with anyone.

Yesterday (Friday) was their last day of work. My boss stopped me early-ish in the shift and gave me a 'side project'. Now, this phrase can be anything from walking the department and pointing out all the housekeeping things we all just don't see to helping word an email. This time the project was to collect a dollar from everyone willing, then go to the store and buy cupcakes and soda so we could have a miniature going-away party for the couple. It was so sweet! And I'm not just talking about the cupcakes.

Here's a helpful hint. If you want to see fully grown adults look like they're five again, hand them a cupcake with fluorescent icing. It's kind of hilarious.

One year later

Okay, here I am, one year since starting this blog. We've seen lots of evidence of insanity. And some new experiences. Some memorable events. And, hopefully, I've given my three readers some good chuckles when they needed it and sometimes when they didn't.

The following photos detail a trip I made yesterday. To the land of "What-the-hell-were-we-smoking?!"


Ames and I wanted to try out something we'd seen/read about a long time ago. Duct tape dressforms! Since buying a 'real' dressform is slightly out of our budgets. Plus, do you actually know anyone who is the same shape as one of those things without some heavy duty corsetry??


These photos are of the making of Beige Babe (har. My superhero name.)

Needless to say, for our first try, these suckers weren't too bad. Mine still needs a bit of tweaking, like getting it onto the stand so it isn't sitting on the floor confusing the cat.

You can also see some of the goofy entering the hilarity that was us. Did I mention that we were stone sober at the time?


Oh, and how often can you fondle your own boobs when they aren't attached to your body? I couldn't resist.

Ames might or might not share her photos and it isn't my place to share what's hers, so hold your breath (heavens know we did in process).

Not bad for using vaguely-remembered blog posts and internet searches, huh.

Life, the Universe (of Yarn) and Everything

Yes, I've been gone a while. No, I don't want to rehash it. Suffice it to say that it involved my Mom, the Hospital, Scalpels, Staples, and a lot of knuckle-gnawing. Things are better now and I want to share some of the nicer things that have happened in my absence from blogging. The first photo is a progress shot, badly taken, of my Coachella tank top. I'm loving the way the yarn is feeling. 65% silk, 35% bamboo. Yum! Oh! And it's on a cone, so very few tails to weave in due to not having to join a new ball of yarn! Win!

There's two stories to this picture...

I'm telling the funnier one here. That swirly knitting thing there is a hat, knitted in the round. But wait! you say. Doesn't knitting in the round use more than 3 needles or a circular needle or something?? Well...yes. Yes, it does. Usually. Unfortunately, the 4th needle for this hat kind of ... died.




Yes. Died. See this bent and twisty sad looking piece of metal? Yeah, that was my 4th needle. It got used for some ... repair work ... and didn't quite make it through alive. No, it can't be bent back into its original straight and pointy-ness. Trust me. I tried.


Oh, but the next picture cheered me up to no end! I kind of needed some S.E.X.
No, not that kind of sex. Stash Enhancing eXperience(s). So, I went online and got lured in to some sample packs of summer yarns. And then, Ames and I went on a Yarn Spree! This photo is a melding of the two experiences. No, I'm not telling how much I spent. But I did stay within the budget I set myself (somehow). Oh and some of the yarns aren't shown, but that's because they are duplicate cakes and one is being used for a "secret project."

The last photo is, I guess, my birthday gift to myself. A drafting table (that tilts!), a stool to sit on. 3 different types of drawing tablets (only one shown, but if you look in the bottom left corner you can see just a little bit of another one), and a whole lotta pencils! Colored pencils, drawing pencils, some charcoal sticks...

And, of course, I haven't had a chance to sit down and actually use any of it yet...

So, see. I haven't fallen completely off the face of the planet! I'm still around. Just doing a little more lurking that chatting.
:D

Exhaustified

I haven't blogged in a bit due to family matters. Mostly, those are resolved, but I am exhaustified. I'm too pooped to even put up a cute kitteh photo.

Needless to say, I am currently incapable of writing anything really spectacular at the moment.

Please enjoy the peace and quiet while systems are restored.

Igor/ina Hath Arrived!

Tho, the very very awethome mithth Ganyah (who wath very brave and organithed thith thwap) then protheeded to thend me thith really, really great parthel:
The thent me not one, not three, not even five, but THEVEN kindth of yarn! Not ballth. Not hankth. KINDTH! I felt a little inadequate, having only thent her two meathley ballth of Malabrigo Lace. But that'th not the point. The point ith that the included thome really thpiffy thtuff to go with the yarn. And chocolate. And fudge!

It'th next to impoththible to get my camera to thow any kind of detail. But the big red thquare ith a dithcloth, and it thtateth "(Eye) (Heart) Igor" and the thtitch markerth almotht vithible at the bottom there thpell out "I (heart) IGORS" and altho have the great A'Tuin.

The altho included a copy of the Igor Thawl (available through the MMario yahoo group) and thome additional information about it. It ith all beautifully held together with a purple butterfly paperclip. Now, thomething funny that I'll thare with my three readerth ith that I theriouthly thought about thending thith thame pattern to her! But I wanted to include enough yarn to make it ath well, and couldn't dethide on a particular one to go with it (none were ... Igor-y enough).

You thee that cute little Klatchian Army Knife there on the right? Don't let it fool you. That little thucker ith wicked tharp! I know thith becauthe it bit me the firtht day I uthed it. Not to worry, though. Remember, you're reading the tale of thomeone who can draw blood while painting, fer cripe'th thake. But that'th a thtory for another time. And, yeth, Ameth, that ITH a pink meathuring tape you thee there.

Even the OH commented on thith parthel. He wath gobthmacked when I held all the yummy new yarnth in my armth to thow it off to him.

Love Bites Swap received!

I got my swap package Monday! Here's a phot of what she sent me! Some really great stuff in it. Great enough that I had to fight with Kitten to get to it.

There were some really cool dual-sided coasters that she made me.





And this little guy. I call him my 'date'. Unfortunately, Kitten thieved him away from me almost as I was taking this photo. There's a lot of other goodies, but these were some of the better photos.

So another big THANK YOU to my lovely swap partner! I love it all!

Love Bites Swap sent!

So, I sent out my Love Bites (aka Vampire Valentine 2009) swap package on Thursday to Knitbrit. It arrived at her home yesterday and this is what she posted (before even opening it):

Did you hear it?
Did you hear the almighty squee that emanated from my little corner of Ohio? I got my package today - just what I needed to brighten up a spectacularly dismal 24 hours. ...Thank you so much to whomever it is from - even without opening it, it’s the best thing that has happened today :)

Which made me really happy! I was glad to be able to brighten up someone's day. A few of the things I sent her included:

This tile coaster (because who wouldn't want to visit this place at least once?)
This sticker (as Drusilla was listed as one of her fave vamps)
These mitts (because it's just as cold in Ohio as it is here, at least):
There was a lot of other things in the package, but I don't want to ruin all her fun in chatting about it. I had so much fun putting all these things together! I hope that she's had a chance to open the box and find all her goodies :)

Can I hibernate now?

This is what I did this week. And I didn't miss any work. Although I'm going to have to take a 'Mental Health Day' very very soon!

Go Vote (Book/Author-Wise)!!!!!

So, I saw that Kim is up for an award or two and, naturally, had to go vote. I encourage you to do the same if you've read her. Hell, go check it out even if you haven't, there might be a few you have read.

Just follow this link: Urban Fantasy Land Readers' Choice Awards

Happy Voting!

Shop, Swap, and Knit

No photos today. And some of the commentary might be vague and/or cryptic.

Koolhaas Update:

That demonic really cool hat that I talked about in the last post. Yeah, you know the one I'm talking about. Yeah, well, it's in the corner because after 2 more attempts, the yarn is screaming in pain, my finger refuses to cooperate with me, the cat is slightly more psychotic, and OH thinks I've been sampling too many yarn fumes. So it's going into the naughty pattern corner for now. I'll get back to it at some future date (preferably armed with um...something scary).

Back to our not-so-regularly scheduled post.

I finished the shawl I'd been working on (Foulard, pattern here) and am happy to report that the recipient absolutely loved it! Even her husband gave it good reviews, so 'scuse me while I do my little victory dance.

I also started on a Clapotis (affectionately renamed 'the clap'). So far, so good. I went downstairs a bit ago to give OH an update. Here's how the conversation went:

me: I'm almost ready to start on section 3 of the clap.
OH (absently): Yeah? I didn't know they had a program for that...

Beware trying to update anyone not familiar with your world, especially if you're not sure you have their complete attention or the WIP at hand. That was my funny for the day.

If you don't already know, I've signed up for two swaps! One is the Igor Thwap, which hath been very fun tho far, and I have to thtop getting thingth to put into it! My thpoilee ith ath exthited ath I am, I think. And yeth, we talk in Igor-thpeak. But we're Igorinath, so we don't always lithp.

The other is the Love Bites Swap, which is-in case you can't tell-vampire related goodies! It's also a secret swap. So, even though I've got lots of goodies ready, in progress, or on order, I can't share them just yet. But there's been some really cool ideas brought to my attention. I had to make myself stop buying and start assembling or else I wouldn't get it done and I would probably have to ship it in either a very large box or several smaller boxes.

I went shopping today to get some things for the swaps. I was trying to concentrate more on one than the other right now so that I can keep things straight. I'll get the other one bought next weekend. Ames, I really am sorry I wasn't much fun this trip. I could give you several excuses as to why, but neither of us really needs that, now, do we? Suffice it to say that I'm more or less better now.

I also have to put together the A/V portion of my group's presentation this weekend. I want to have it all done before Monday so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Cookies and happies and warm toasties to you, my readers!

Adventures of a Koolhaas

I'm attempting to make this hat (pattern available here). The keyword being attempt. This pattern is starting to just piss me right off.

Don't get me wrong, I adore the hat. I want one! I want to make the damned thing. And I want mine to look like this picture! But in a different color.

Unfortunately, this is the first pattern that has boggled my modifications. Usually, I can just work a chart from left to right with no problems. This one has been ... well ... frustrating.

Attempt #1:

Cast on. Work the requisite 10 rounds of 2x2 ribbing, no problem. Change needle size (as per pattern) and begin working lattice pattern. Learn how to cable without a needle (+1 exp.) and get to row 6. Pause to rest fingers, notice blisters forming on index finger (definitely have a good and pointy needle, at least) and look at hat. Pattern is not emerging. Throw project down, eat chocolate to calm down. Frog and restart.

Attempt #2:

Cast on. Work the ribbing. Change needle size (still with the pattern so far), and begin lattice pattern again, being careful to use a consistent technique on the cables. Work to row 7. Pause to apply ointment to blistered index finger and look at hat. Pattern still isn't emerging. Throw project down in disgust, wander off in search of chocolate, muttering about patterns that aren't cooperating. Frog and restart....

Attempt #3:

Cast on. By some miracle, the yarn is not looking any worse for wear. Work the ribbing. Have a stroke of genius before starting the lattice and insert lifeline. Change needle size, start lattice pattern. Get to row 6. Stop to check progress of both pattern and healing finger. Finger is doing well, and pattern is almost emerging, but still doesn't look quite right. Deep breath. Inhale chocolate. Choke on chocolate pieces going into lungs. Stumble out of room in search of liquid, tangle yarn around legs, trip over cat, bang head on wall. So now we can add mild concussion and a lovely blue-tinted face (hey, at least it matches the yarn) to the poor battered, blistered index finger. Once streaming eyes clear up, look at hat again in the hopes of it magically looking correct. Nope, still not quite right. Sigh, because it's late at night and the neighbors might complain if I start screaming, frog, storm away to play video games and plan on restarting tomorrow.

To be continued....

First FO of the year!

This is my first completed project of the year! No matter that I started it last month. I finished it today!

The pattern is Clamber and can be found here.

OH even commented on it. In a positive way :P
