so... i'm trying to delay going to a lab for a blood test right now. i'm a very, very skilled professional procrastinator. accordingly, i dug up a youtube video that i've been trying to find for a very long time. this is specifically for madknits whom i adore, and whenever he talks about knitting, this song comes to mind. a little backstory... this is ( Read more... )

as you may surmise from the subject line, i'm going to write about poorly designed and illogical items today. or rant.

i have this coffee maker. it's got a superb thermal carafe that i like because the coffee stays warm into the afternoon. if i get distracted and don't finish it off in the morning, the coffee is warm, but not scorched or ( Read more... )

i have a strict policy of never e-mailing something if the recipient could forward it on someday and wreck my life. thus, i delighted in this little snippet that i found tonight, knowing that it's the sort of thing i would love to write and would be too afraid to send, for fear it might make it around the world and back to someone i love. the ( Read more... )

i'm a guild leader in wow.  for those of you who are NOT gigantic flaming nerds, that makes the pseudo-president of a small collection of gigantic flaming nerds.  my mother would be so disappointed.

on the flipside, i'm channeling carson (from queer eye) by trying to get a fashionable tabard for us to wear.
