Yup, really good article, though I think he didn't give enough credit to John Simm's work in the role. :)

Your sweater! Beautiful! And I love the buttons you chose. And the poof! He is adorable!

Yay, thank you! That's one of the few decent pics I've ever gotten of the poof. He always runs away whenever he sees the camera, so I tricked him by using my phone. ;)

Kiiiitty! :D The sweater turned out beautifully--I love the pattern, the collar, and the buttons. *g*

Thanks so much! Finding the buttons was hard -- the first fabric store didn't have any toggle buttons in silver, and the second was a hell of a drive away. Those were the only ones they had in silver, but I think they're too small. Today at my knitting group, I told my friends, and one of them piped up, "Want me to make you some?" Turns out she's a silversmith in her spare time! I said that I'll see how these work out, and I might just give her a call if they turn out to be too small. ;)

I love seeing your knitting projects. :-) But this comment is really about how adorable your cat is. And I'm not even a cat person but his adorableness crosses even that. :-)

Hee! I don't really like animals in general, but Queso is pretty darn cute. Maybe it's those huge, perfectly-round eyes that make him look either surprised or very devious. ;)

The sweater looks great and super comfy. And ahhh, kitty. :)

Thanks for the link about cellphones and Haiti. I've had a bag of old cellphones sitting in my closet for well over a year just waiting for me to remember to bring them to Best Buy. But this is a much better use for them.

Can't wait to read the article on LOM. I didn't watch the US version, mainly b/c I hadn't seen the British one (it's been sitting on my DVD player for over 2 months now, I just need to sit my ass down and watch it) and my favorite movie reviewer went ballistic over the US version. She absolutely loathed it. She'll get a kick out of the article.

I need to dig out my previous phone. Such a great idea!

The US version was actually pretty good -- not great, but good -- until that bizarre and laughable finale. At least the UK original has the yummy John Simm.
