You could make an argument for… well, really for *any* of Dennis Hopper’s work to be his best. And even though nobody else has ever seen this movie, Flashback, that’s my favorite. “Once we get out of the Eighties, the Nineties are going to make the Sixties look like the …
Sharon pointed out to me yesterday that the baby birds are in that awkward teenage stage; not big enough to fly, too big to all fit in the nest anymore. OH THE CUTE.

(Originally posted on September 27, 2006) I almost didn’t want to go for a walk this morning, because an over-protective yappy dog owner yelled at me yesterday. I’m deliberately being vague about whether it was the dog or the owner who was “yappy”. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen …

Yarn: Mind’s Eye, from the sock club Pattern: Gloria Cowl by Orinda5
I’ve been watching with baited breath as a pair of birds has been building a nest near a hardly-used door by Roly Poly next to the yarn shop. Saturday I was rewarded! I have three more pictures here, here, and here. They’re so ugly! But so cute! But so ugly! …
A couple of weeks ago I had a post wherein I did a bunch of flailing and asked what tank-top(ish) top I should knit… the end result was Buttercup, and I have the yarn and pattern and am ready to go. A couple of my knitter friends mentioned both here …
For the first half of yesterday, I thought it was Wednesday; then I thought it was Thursday. This morning I woke up thinking it was Friday… and I just realized it’s Saturday. SIGH. The rest of my 2010 photos can be viewed here.

If you live near us, that is. Names are still under discussion…we’ve got it narrowed down to three choices, but… man! Why is it so hard to choose?! All of these are great names! Maybe we can name one “Moya Rosie Calamity Jane” and the other one “Serenity Gilda Trixie …
I could hear my stepmother, Barbara, as I was taking these photos; “You’re sick, Haldeman!”. 🙂 Yarn: Lorna’s Laces Green Line DK in “Zombie BBQ” Pattern: Iris the Gourmet Monster by Rebecca Danger Notes: I wanted to put this on the class roster for next semester, but wanted to make …
I will now be ending everything I say with “Christ, what an asshole“. It *does* work for everything! — From the Department of Truly Effing Stupid: Handyman injured after cutting down branch against which he’d leaned his ladder. Oh yeah, and he’s suing his boss because of it! — “Something …
Yarn: Malabrigo Sock in “Ravelry Red” Pattern: Zanzibar by Cookie A. Notes: Did for a class at the shop, and while this is not the first Cookie A sock I’ve done, it did give me a whole new respect and love for her designs.
I’ve been thinking a lot about noise lately. Part of this is because the yarn store is in between two restaurants who get deliveries multiple times a day by large diesel trucks that are left running during unloading – talk about your loud white noise! – and partly because of …
We took a whirlwind trip down to Cocoa Beach this weekend to see Uncle Joe receive an award bestowed upon a living author for a lifetime’s achievement in science fiction and/or fantasy. If you look at that list you can see that Unca Joe keeps damn fine company. [pictobrowser type=”flickr” …
Here’s one for DataAngel: How to make a Dalek Egg. — My knowledge of Jugaloos and the Insane Clown Posse is pretty limited, but this (marginally NSFW, depending on where you work) gave me the giggles. “… we just dropped a fat truth bomb on yo’ dumb ass self“. ELL …
