nerd knits

Yanno, it’s hard to blog when:

You have no time to knit.
Your parents are in town, so you have even less time to knit.
What precious little knitting time you squeak in is devoted to a stealth project.

Really, I’m going to get this blogging thing down one of these days.
Things are still pretty awesome, for the most [...]

I have a blog?
Dude…where did this come from?
So, uh, yeah…sorry about the interruption of service.  It appears that the server had a “catastrophic hardware malfunction” (I love how computer nerds always make it sound like shit’s blowing up) which resulted in my blog going down for several weeks.  No, no, nothing terrible happened to me.
Actually, [...]

Fear not!  You’re in the right place.
As you can see (I hope,) I’ve spent most of the day not only upgrading Wordpress to the latest version, but also implementing a (very) long-awaited blog overhaul.
The masthead was created for me by my wonderful, artistic husband quite a while ago,  but I could never find a theme [...]

…Thursdays were for spinning.
I haven’t done any spinning in a long time.  Every once in a while I’d think about it, but inevitably I’d wander off and do something else.  Sometimes I’d wonder at my reluctance, try to pinpoint where the malaise was coming from.
Really, the answer was quite simple: I don’t really enjoy my [...]

…but before I submit to its siren song, I’d just like to mention that I <3 nerds.  (Includes sweater and sheep!)

Kisses and curses to Jonathan Coulton for introducing me to this little timesuck.  Dude…I have shit to do.  (Warning: sound starts immediatley.)

Nothing exciting here tonight…I’ve spent an embarrassment of time watching the latest shitstorm on Ravelry.  (I’m linking it because I hate it when people act all secretive about drama like this – it is what it is, and you know if you’re interested in that kind of thing or not.  I find human nature fascinating, [...]

I’m still feeling a little under the weather, but I’m loads better than I was over the weekend, or even yesterday – it’s amazing what 14 hours straight of sleep will do for you when you’re sick.  In fact, I’m willing to bet that the three to four hours a night I was getting all [...]

Sorry, no post today.  I’m going to go finish sleeping off the plague a head cold from hell.
(Oh, and sorry about the outage on Friday.  The benevolent overlords who control my server had to move it from point A to point B.  All hail the benevolent overlords, who grant me a ridiculous amount of space [...]

Now I remember why I don’t knit on a deadline: because I occasionally like to do things other than knit.

I’m not sure I’m going to make it.
Well, I suppose that’s not true.  I’m going to make it.  I’m just not sure that I’m going to make it without going completely insane, knitting Friday night through [...]
