watchmen condoms - blue promotional prophylactics! kinda odd, kinda nifty. (link from phinnia) (and also spnnewsletteri now have a to-make list for books i want to make. it's five books long. (this is a lot, considering i bind at the speed of molasses in winter.) i've made some progress on two of them, and have thought long and hard about a third and fourth.

yes, but i could crochet the tiny ninja and find a pattern for a tiny cowboy hat, and presto, cowboy ninja! :D but then i'd have to crochet a tiny geek and a tiny thief to keep him company....

this is where i admit that if i did manage to teach myself how to crochet, it would be so i could make cute fannish things.

i love david macaulay. when i was little i had castle and pyramid, and pretty much everything i know about pyramids and ancient egyptian burial practices, i learned from him.

You can most assuredly teach yourself to knit and/or crochet! There are excellent tutorials online, and you are, quite obviously, clever and creative.

this is good to know! i can follow directions from a pattern or a diagram, especially if i have an idea what the finished product is supposed to look like.

that was my reaction too! imagine if they glowed in the dark, too.

I should have you over to watch a couple episodes of the History Channel's Cities of the Underground, which mixes history with civil engineering with Archaeology, and is pretty damn fascinating. Remind me when I'm back in Somerville....
