Cripes. Who let the Monday In?!

  • Searching for that wedding dress: Jess has gone for a completely different look altogether and it's perfectly charming and entirely her. Requires fantastic clip on earrings so I am on a mission!
  • I am at my desk again, arguing the EFA. I've got all my hair piled on my head like a hat. So I look like a German prison matron, big deal!
  • Yesterday it rained all day, so I made up all the carbohydrates for the week: brown rice and bread pudding. Steven, who professed to hate bread pudding, polished off a bowlful. Must have been the rum soaked raisins.
  • Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything cookbook has now lost it's dust jacket and pages 217 and 218 had to be pried apart.
  • Obama's stimulus plan on releasing a ton of grant monies is going to make life a real trial around here for the next six months. Still no word on my increase, damn it.

I want to get a job where I can completely screw up everything, then get a $2 million bonus.

What the WHAT?!

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...
