Shakin' the Embarcadero

El Ben has been visiting, providing a little clarity on just how goddamn scary the Match is. He has been wildly patient with our unwild and unfascinating ways around Casa Del Grant and I must say it was mighty good to see him. He has eaten everything I have shoved unceremoniously in front of him, a sure sign of an excellent house guest.

And because Ben feigned interest: Franklin's Regicide Scarf. Geek Knitting is big. I intend on knitting my own geek very soon. Oh. wait....

The Dashing Miss Melinda June, Pie Maker Extraordinare of this Hemisphere, can now add an MBA Award to her list of glamorous successes. Well done!

Fillup Munkee appears again on Zefrank's Blog with his take on bell ringing, children's art and food courts. Shake a monkey puppet at me and I am happy.

Let's get the dance majors involved: The Protein Primer. (Bear with it; things get full-on sideshow crazy 3 minutes into it.) The second part of this joke is that these people writhing about on a sportsfield pretending to be amino acids? These are people I work for.

Gosh. Phil Frank is gone. -sniff!-

News Flash: The vile Ann Coulter has received her very own Subversive cross stitch card and felt the need to call the police. Who says we fiber artists aren't scary?

8,000 handknit free scarves needed for SuperBowl Volunteers. Horrors. I've just sent an unnecessary post card to these people. " You must be kidding. I'll put this in my knitting queue... right behind every premature infant, the low income families in need, the homeless (domestic and international), the chemo patients and... every child for the next twenty years in the Oakland and San Francisco Childrens' Hospitals. In a word: No. " The Indianapolis and NFL wants my labor and yarn? Gah...

I got mugged in a nicer part of town than my own after knitting group. I am not hurt (other than re-twisting an ankle trying to chase the bum down. Do not ever ever run in clogs. Should not have been carrying a 50 pound knitting bag either. Or I should have handed that one over instead.) but am cashless cardless keyless bus/BARTpassless librarycardless phoneless id-less and really really pissed off. Yelling really loudly helped at the time. I had a dozen nice people around me and calling the very nice cops and getting water and handing me dogs to cuddle. They'll never catch the bastard and I'm aware of that. It's just the way it is. Like most everybody else I live paycheck to paycheck and at the end of the month when I am really paying attention to the last trickle I have to use, I get tense. Now some asshat has relieved me of that trickle and the last photo id that doesn't make me look like a complete aging old hag. And my cute new phone, just when I got the layout r

I went round and round on a topic last Saturday with someone: sexual preferences: sources, outcomes, society. Tiresomely 'round and 'round the assumption mulberry bush. Then there was a general discussion of prey . Why are the abused mostly women and children? Because, on the whole, they are smaller and thought to be easier to intimidate. Ask any woman. Ask anyone who has been a child what intimidation is. Why bother feigning shock? The whole discussion is bothering me enough to keep me up for a couple of nights. The spinning is going well, for the most part. I've been working on a couple "Orphan" skeins using bits and pieces from dyers (most pieces only a couple grams in some wild colorways) and then Navajo plying them all together. It's quite the experiment. In the end the studio will be less cluttered, I will have more bobbins/less wool and the cat will have to find another soft place to sleep. At the moment the most recent prepared wool is a mystery: it&
