I swear, I’ll get back to blogging about yarn in a few days. But right now all my head can handle is YouTube. So I bring to you Throwdown Thursday! Who are you going to hitch a ride with? Smashing Pumpkins and the ice cream van of “Everybody’s having sex but [...]

No blogging lately because my allergies are really bad and my head feels all sparkly, but Travis and I did manage to solve one of our Great Mysteries in Life, so I had to post about that. Every once in a while, we’ll be talking about music or videos or something, and one of [...]

Things are afoot!
1. Like the little fiber flunky that I am, I signed up for Shannon Okey’s Rhinebeck Bus Trip of Madness. It was a bit more expensive than I would have liked, but I figured that I didn’t have any other shot at going to it this year, so why not?
So, I [...]

Better Hubble yarn photos?

We’ve actually gotten not too much rain here, compared to the deluge up north, so we’ve been pretty lucky. The forecast for the next week is “High in the low 90s, 60% chance of thunderstorms,” which translates into “Armpit weather.” I swear, I have no idea how people [...]

And I think the yarn actually looks kind of gross there. But it’s so not! It’s uber-cool!

So, two nights ago I woke up at about 2:00 am to something horribly wrong in our house. I’m not going to go into details besides saying that I’m pretty sure that Toby was utterly mortified. Poor dog. It seemed like she was coming down with another bout of giardia, which made [...]

Travis and I set up a new bank account today, and I think we lost our souls in the process. We were at the bank for over 2 1/2 hours. 2 1/2 hours! Is this normal now? Stupid Homeland Security. Anyway, at least it’s done. If we manage to [...]

Look!
I own an obscene number of beads for someone who rarely crafts with them. It’s really pretty ridiculous. However, especially when we’re on vacation and we wander into a bead shop, I must purchase. I have zero willpower whatsoever. So, I figured maybe I finally ought to start making something with [...]

I got my Ravelry invite today! I can already tell it’s going to suck my life away. Anyway, I have no idea what I’m doing, so if anyone wants to take pity on me and say hi, I’m Yarnzombie over there, too.
I was looking through some of the different groups they have over there and [...]

Ever have one of those days where you wake up in an alternate reality? Today was one of those, because when I clicked on the news this morning, I saw this headline:
Karl Rove to Resign
Whaaaaaa?! Blink. Why, instead of filling me with joy, does this just seem really ominous to me? Like [...]
