Things to be glad you are not witnessing

  • You know those assholes who are lurching around there in public in everyone's way, obliviously texting/cursing while taking not so good photographs on their shiny new iPhones, posting their productions to their grandmothers/Flickr/interactive souls? Yeah? I am now that asshole, as evidenced by the series of socks self-portraits on Facebook. Honestly, what else amd I supposed to do at work when all my ducks are lined up and saluting?
  • The Steven who is supposed to be working from home is trolling the internets and blasting old Prince albums so it's been the non-stop gogo dance party at Casa del Leiderhosen this afternoon.
  • The Shiny New Coffee God is installed in the kitchen and - boy HOWDY - is it amazing!

The Venn Diagram? Yep, pretty much true.

Hiyer Girlfriend! Not sure if my emails have gotten through? My blog is dimsphere dot blogspot dot com. I'm actually doing it fairly regularly - amazing. I too have been warned that in June I am to have an I-phone - like it or not. I'm not even allowed to just take his old I-phone as it won't have the shiny new features (that I won't understand) like HIS! Of course the fact that my current cell is held together in several places with black electrician's tape is slightly embarassing, but only slightly!

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...
