(Originally posted December 26, 2006) Sometimes I sing along with Kermit [Ed Note: this was the name of my first iPod, which was green] in the morning. Just under my breath, more humming than singing, and the only person who I believe to ever have noticed is a woman down …
I have a few vegan friends and as such am always happy to see things I think they might like… like these Hazelnut Vegan Bites. — These science fiction cakes slay me! Want, want, WANT! — Ah, shiny! Steampunk Stormtrooper! — Vintage Sambo’s Restaurant Photos. I have fond remembrances of …
Yarn: Trendsetter Merinos VIII in “Martini” Pattern: Cable That Bag! by Chrissy Gardiner Notes: Made as a shop sample/future class
It’s Tuesday morning; let’s roll.
(Originally posted January 18, 2007) I didn’t want to walk this morning. I wound up walking, just only for about 40 minutes, tops. I tried to tell myself that it was because I’d overslept (by ten minutes). I tried to tell myself that it was because it looked like it …
Two words: Smuttons. WANT. — All I can think when I look at this is “I hope that’s acrylic, because the first rain is going to totally ruin that great yarn.” — Also want, for the back of my car. — Ten of the world’s best bookstores. Looks like I …
(Originally posted September 30, 2008) Welcome to Snarkland, bloggy home to knitting and discussion of my dogs! Some day I will have more topics. Maybe spinning, since I just plied a bunch of singles off of a shitload of bobbins. Aren’t you excited?! New pup’s name—We’ve decided to go with …

So, I took a few days off from work – two on either side of my usual day off, making it a FIVE DAY WEEKEND, YO! And I may have mentioned that but didn’t really want to make a big deal of it – I hate, hate, hate the word …

So, last year when Chili died (and I can’t link to that because it was juuuuust before the Great Hosting Change of 2009), Tim and I started talking about getting new kittens. Backup Kittehs, if you will. But we wanted to wait until Rembrandt died, because she was old and …
Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport in “Vera” Pattern: Kaiso by Judy Sumner Notes: So named because for a while they were just a pair of lonely toes used to teach someone how to knit toe-up; then they languished while I had other more pressing knitting. Surprise, I cranked the rest …
(Originally posted June 19, 2005) I don’t really remember the first person I lost. I think it was either Aunt Nellie or Aunt Mildred, gone when I was young. Less than 10, I think. Too young to really get what death meant, or how heavy it could hit you. Next …
So, a few days ago Jenn and I were talking about Tuesday – typically my day off and recently a day of somewhat leisure for her as well, so we’ve been spending them together boozing it up hanging out. I happen to be taking a few mental health days off …
Um… ew. There is disgustingly not much change to this year-old Happy Meal. Mmmmm. — Here’s one for Tim: The Young Man’s Book of Amusement. Ooo, here’s another one: Rubik’s Cube for the blind. — And here’s one for Craig: The Ultimate Sticker Collection (LEGO Minifigure) — Well now. Courts …
Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in “Archangel” Pattern: Slip-Stitch Cable Socks by Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott
(Originally posted August 9, 2006) This post is for Beth, who didn’t know that today was my third anniversary and just Monday asked the question of how Tim and I met. The short story is that we met at work. The long story is much longer, and is proving hard …
Rounding up a few things… — Jonathan Carroll on… her dog is sweet but very neurotic; what teachers make; on the definition of courage; the losses we suffer; wanting to become a writer. — People kill me. They have burning questions. They seem to not understand the finality of death. …

I’ve been struggling mentally with this for weeks, even more so in the last 24 hours since I finally got a contact name for someone who might actually listen to my concerns. Below is a letter that I just wrote, where I really hope I came out sounding like a …
