Um, hey guys!  Yes, I'm not only alive, but still have access to the internet and etcetera.  Mostly I've been AWOL because I'm working on my new book, which is going REALLY well.

I just hit 50k!!  About five minutes ago!!  This means I'm 1/3 done with the book, since I'm planning on it being about 150k.  Stupid giant storyline that's epically fun to ( Read more... )

You ever hear that expression, "It's a steal!" when someone's trying to sell you something way cheaper than it should be? I think I finally understand. I just hit up a yard sale so hard that I ACTUALLY feel like I committed theft ( Read more... )

So, I'm quite the Crafty Jezebel.  In other words, I'm really bad at sticking to one creative thing, but am a bit of a whore about it.  As this is reaching an overwhelming stage, I've decided to make some lists.

What I'm in the middle of right now:

1. A novel.  56,000 words, and I think about 75% done.
2. The Sipalu Bag from Knitpicks.  Mostly done, ( Read more... )

Trying to decide what to give out as gifts to professors at the end of the year.  This is my list of professors that I'd like to give gifts to:

Siouxsie Grady
Catherine Burroughs
Elsie Torres (not a professor, but is CERTAINLY getting a gift!)
G. Alan Clugston

My ideas include a beret for Siouxsie.  Actually, I've only got the one idea.  Any others?   ( Read more... )

Let me preface this by saying that this was a BAD DAY so far, I know that, and tomorrow's going to be totally different.

That said.

WTF BODY?  For the last two weeks, I've been strictly dieting, and going to the gym EVERY DAY, sometimes TWICE a day.  And today I found I've gained two pounds, and a whole weird bunch of inches around my body.  I want ( Read more... )

Dear meigahime :

I am sorry.

I made some bad design choices (read: "mistakes") in knitting the Punk Rock Corset Gloves.  This would not have mattered, except I forgot I had done so and failed to compensate.

This resulted in the gloves being rather.....different.

So, I'm blocking my Highland Triangle Shawl--FINALLY.  I've been filching pillows from around the floor, trying to make a large enough surface for it to lay upon.  I've got four (using my own chair pillow as well), and I hope it'll be enough.  Shawls are always wicked hard to block, especially in dorm rooms.  I can't use my bed, I sort of have to ( Read more... )

So, I decided to clean my room this morning (SHOCKHORROR) so that pengiesama  and jougetsu  wouldn't have to sit on my laundry, and I think most of you can guess what happened--I wound up ovaries-deep in yarn, sitting on the floor with a bewildered, wool-inflicted look on my face.  Then I decided to photograph and catalogue it all on Ravelry.  THAT was fun, with a ( Read more... )

What has the whore done now, you ask?  Simple.  She got me into "Avatar: the last airbender."  Because THAT is really something on which I need to be spending my free time.

Although to be fair, the only time I've spent on it has been time when I would otherwise be lying in bed and watching something ELSE.  I was....awake for quite a while last ( Read more... )
