So.  This has been quite possibly the most hectic week of the year.  (Possibly.  Graduation/play season was pretty crazy.)

Many thanks to all the people who responded to my post Tuesday night (you know who you are). That little incident messed me up significantly, though I'm better now.  Wednesday wasn't much better; I ended up getting very sick in ( Read more... )

Warning: slightly heavy on knitting history.

Remember a post or two back, when I mentioned a desire to do a Hetalia fanart about different knitting traditions?

Yeah.  I went to the library today and picked up Nicky Epstein's Knitting on Top of the World: The Global Guide to Traditions, Techniques, and Design.  I recognize her name from Vogue Knitting ( Read more... )

So.   Oh - first of all, Mike and Alex, if you are reading this post: go away.  I love you, you are wonderful people, but you need to shoo.  Now.

*Peeks out* are they gone?

Good.  Now then.  I've finished 1/2 of Alex's Christmas gift set.  Pictures will be up in the Den soon, once Brother #1 gets home and gives the camera back.  (He has his own, why ( Read more... )

I just got this paper from the office today...

Unweighted Class rank: 2 (out of 88) - tied with one other person.

Weighted GPA: 4.0
Weighted Class rank: 1 (out of 88) - tied with 12 other people.

XDDDD  Hahahaha, serves them all right.  "Fresh slate" whut?  "Science doesn't agree with her" whut?  (Yes, I got that from my chemistry ( Read more... )

I apologize for the lack of posting, but this has just been a bad week for me.  A "square root of one" week, if you will.

Monday night, I found out my best friend in the whole world doesn't want to do Ohayocon, which is one of the few things I look forward to on a yearly basis.  I got that semi-squared away and went to bed.

Tuesday morning, I woke up ( Read more... )

I can't stop laughing right now.

Part of it is near-hysterical fangirl giggles because of this (FINALLY DESU), but part of it is completely non-anime related.

It happened again.  Yesterday at church.  This one lady that I know very well pulled a garbage bag full of yarn from the back of her truck and said "Here, I know you knit, have some yarn."  And ( Read more... )

EDIT 8.16.08: Fixed some stuff that needed clarification.

Okay, semi-hard.  If you comment on her post, CJ gives you a letter, and you have to come up with ten things that you love that start with that letter.  And I'll do the same thing.  My letter: B.  Here's the stuff in the order I thought of it...

1. Brian.  My little brother who has Down's ( Read more... )

Okay, remember in my first post how I said I was shooting samples with a laser and measuring the craters?  Well... turns out the craters are more like pimples.

Originally I was using a white-light profilometer to look at them.  The short explanation is, it measures light interference to see what the picture looks like.  And the picture looked... ( Read more... )
