what a great party! we were rocking and rolling for about 7 hours yesterday with a whole lotta peeps. i made shishkabobs, grilled eggplant, potatoes, and noodle salad. everybody made or brought something, and there was badminton and ping pong. it was a hoot. if you weren't invited, don't be sad! it was a word-of-mouth party that my downstairs neighbor was in charge of.

i don't think this is /really/ lace knitting, but it's my first time with this sort of pattern. you can't really see the laceyness in this pic, but the kpppm looks very pretty. i bought a grab bag of five skeins over a year ago, and hadn't found a pattern that it wanted to be until this one..

no one else will really care about this, but some guy went to the painstaking trouble of categorizing and timelining electronic music (along with examples, in case you are interested). neat.

it's been almost a year since i woke up hours before the alarm was supposed to go off. i'm trying to decide if i should get a head start or jog or something. or maybe i should stop somewhere for a paper and coffee and eggs. i'm feeling a lot better this morning, save for the extra-dry throat and dry cough and dry nostrils that woke me up.

well, i stayed home again yesterday. i woke up at 4, coughing, and couldn't get back to sleep. so i called in at 5 or so. it appears that everyone here is sick.

well, my throat is still quite sore. but i have been knitting. honest. but mt 3.16 is being finicky and it won't let me upload pics to show you. so you'll just have to believe me. let me try again.. here's the felted mobieus fanny (can never seem to get things to felt as tight as i want):

every once in a while, my sleeping gets all thrown off. last night, i woke up every 30 minutes for 8 hours. this results in a particularly tired bekee.

having not played sims2 since the weather has gotten over freezing, i should try this. i "made" kurt and i and then it got boring. the lifetime aspiration of knowledge* isn't a very fun one, it turns out. :)

my host gave me some code to update in one of mt's files, and it worked, but now every link i click on within the publishing interface takes me to the log in screen. at least this is seamless for you, reader.

my web host said, on march 1, that they were making server changes to support mt 3.15. i just, today, tried upgrading, only to find that they haven't done a damn thing.

reason #1 to move to ny (don't worry mom, it'll take 19 more, at least): the sushi i had for dinner will be about $10 less. and i will be able to have green tea ice cream. and i will have a healthy walk home.

i've never had luck with anything purchased after watching a commercial on tv. we bought an ionic breeze air purifier almost 5 years ago.. it did /something/, but didn't seem to help anything.. it also stopped working just shortly after the 3 year warranty ran out.
kurt bought liquid lens last year, only to find out that it's water soluble. so it only lasts until your glasses get rained on or you wash them.
well, today we saw a commercial for this stuff*
and bought some. we'll see if it works.
*edit: i was getting some weird referrals because of the name of this product, so i had to change it.

some guy was taking people's recycling bags from their locations and putting them in his trunk. it really irritated me, for some reason.

i had to take an excedrin already this a.m.
edit (10:35am): i don't normally refer to things in such a fashion, but i, most certainly, have a case of the mondays.

i have been knitting, honest. i got cat bordhi's second treasury of magical knitting, and made this fanny basket (it's in a pre-felted state):

and i'll use this mobieus loop to make a ferret basket bed thing:

i'm also working on one of her tri-fold mobieus rim baskets. i'll pic it before it gets felted.
