Lopi
Since hearing back in the negative from the job I'd, admittedly, had my hopes up over, I've been a bit under the already record-lows weather. Fortunately, I have a sweater's worth of yarn from Iceland, and am knitting that up- it has both obvious progress, and an implied price tag, making me feel like I'm doing something with value ( Read more... ) -

The other day, E came home and told me he had a present for me. I was really confused about the coffee table book of nature photos from the Great Smoky Mountains, until he pointed out it was intended as a laptop lap desk. I'd just installed Steam on my computer and had discovered that it (unsurprisingly) made the poor thing run extremely hot. So in ( Read more... ) -

But I took one step away from the back door and promptly fell, barely catching myself from going face-first down the steps to the alley. On the plus side, my bruises make it look like I'm in roller derby. Of course, I've also proven to myself that trying out for anything that even ( Read more... ) -

it's been 28 years of f'ing up and i'm just too dumb to quit.
In my dream last night, I was going to go on tour with Pretty Boy Thorson.
In less bizarre (unfortunately) news, we didn't get our grant and I will be out of a job in three weeks.
