Facebook Updates

2010-06-01T14:28:00.000-07:00

How many facebook updates do you think read:

Chillin' out, maxin' relaxin' - shooting some b-ball outside the school

?

It just seems like a great "what are you doing" update thing. And then everyone could respond w/ lyrics or their fave episode of Fresh Prince or whatever.

2010-05-25T14:13:00.000-07:00

Do you think people send each other letters (or probably emails) in all windings as a "secret code"?

Translation:
Do you think people send each other letters (or probably emails) in all windings as a "secret code"?

Does Google Translate work on windings?

Harry Potter

2009-05-28T14:48:00.000-07:00

How many people do you think have named their kids after characters in the Harry Potter books? Is there some data place out there that keeps track? Is anyone now named Albus? What about Draco? Severus?

Story Songs

2009-05-19T15:07:00.000-07:00

I'm listening to story songs today - like Harper Valley PTA and Ode to Billie Joe.
I have been reading the lyrics on the interent as well.
I can read the lyrics pretty quickly.

Why is it that I can read the lyrics so quickly but when I read a book it seems to take longer?

And by that I mean - when you listen to a book on tape it seems to go faster than if you actually read the book yet the lyrics (poetry?) reads so quickly.

I suppose in the recording of the song they have intro and bridges and measures of music and in the book on tape its more straight forward.

Whatever. Or is it becuase book on tape you listen to continuously (sp?) on a road trip and when you read it may take 3 weeks b/c you read a chapter here or there?

So many possibilities.

Rodeo

2009-04-08T14:31:00.000-07:00

Stop the press. It's Burt Bacharach time!

Why is Rodeo Drive pronounced like Row Day O when rodeo's w/ clowns and horses and bull riding is pronounced row dee o?

What is that all about?

Is Rodeo Drive missing a tilde (sp?)? And how do you do the tilde thing anyway?

Ole

2009-04-02T12:20:00.000-07:00

Why does Oil of Olay spell it Olay when you can say the same word Ole (and how do you get the tilda thing over the e anyway?)?

Is it becuase if you say Ole you want to throw your hand up and twist your head?

My poor semi abandoned blog. It was so lonely.

MONSTER BAG!!!!

2008-08-11T04:36:00.000-07:00

I finished my monster bag. I love it! I gave him boob eyes by accident. The circles I knit sort of bubbled up when I sewed them on so I stuffed them and now he is super three dimensional. SUPER CUTE!!!!

I also finished a purple scarf for my Aunt. And ET was kind enough to model it for me! How sweet is he?

Smelly Mc Smell Smell

2008-07-29T17:03:00.001-07:00

I thought I smelled today. Then I realized I was standing down wind of a bum.

Cake Blog

2008-07-28T16:21:00.000-07:00

Found the BEST website. It makes me laugh out loud, a lot.

It's all about cakes gone wrong.

Enjoy.

Flight of the Conchords. Whoo Hoo.

I just got home from the Old 97's show at Crash Mansion. AWESOME!
It was hot. Everyone was happy. It was happy hot. GREAT SHOW. Great Energy. Both opening bands were enjoyable. Old 97's rocked my socks off. Fantastic.

While I was there I was working on my Disco Monster. He is coming along nicely.
I also had all these great thoughts and now I'm thinking it would be cool if I had an implant in my ear / jaw like Ender in the Ender Series so he can talk to Jane - only mine would be a dictaphone (unless a computer being wants to talk to me and take dictation) then I could sub vocalize my ideas and post them on the blog. I was thinking about why Muray's hair is gray (some kid/man mentioned he thinks Murray looks older every time he sees him) and Dr Who - not that the two are connected - but that is what I remember thinking about. And something else, but I don't remember b/c on the way home I was all smiley and content and forgot.

I feel Like I should add a picture. Hold o

Thanks for Waiting. I feel like I had something else witty to say, but I don't.

Here is a photo or two:

Well- look up. Somehow they ended up at the top and I'm tired and don't want to fix it. :)

Blog Blog Blog

2008-05-14T01:48:00.000-07:00

How many blogs do you think are out there that have been abandoned?

Just saw Mason Jennings. Awesome show. I'm excited for the new album. See you at Amoeba on Tuesday.

Here are great sheep phones:
http://www.cualquiera.com.ar/notas/arte.html

I posted another robot picture for your viewing pleasure. I need to get some pics off my camera and then I'll post those. I'm almost done with the monster bag. In fact - I'm gonna go finish it and then go to bed.

Needlepoint wallet I'm working on

2008-04-16T01:18:00.001-07:00

If I needlepoint over what I have already needlepointed will that ruin things? I can see the paint that came on the plastic grid inbetween my stitches and its driving me nuts.

Knit Robots & a Knit Chicken

2008-04-10T02:18:00.000-07:00

I recently finished the robots. Knit baby, knit. The chicken I finished a while ago. I need to add his button eyes. Do you think he wants legs?

My New Glasses

2008-04-01T14:35:00.000-07:00

http://www.contactsandspecs.com/orgreen000180006767.html

HOORAY!!!

My new glasses arrived. Above is a link. I have gotten lots of nice compliments and I can see so much better. Its so exciting. They feel different and my perscription is way stronger. I feel like I'm going to trip over the invisible step. This is so exciting!

Poop Pants

2008-03-31T15:45:00.000-07:00

I almost pooped my pants at Bev Mo. I went in to buy a giant bottle of crown royal & saw they were having a sale on sour mix - 2 for the price of 1 (or one regualr price, the 2nd 5 cents). So I grabbed two. At the check out dude was pointing at the Crown Royal & said "Do you want to go get another for 5 cents" and I almost pooped my pants. A giant Crown Royal bottle. Alas, he was yanking my chain. Oh well. It was funny. Kudos to Bev Mo for funny teller guy and cheap booze.

My current mission - to find needlepoint kits so I can make a wallet b/c my yellow coca cola wallet is from when I was 10 and is getting dirty and sad. I know I will find the kit and I'm looking forward to needlepointing my new wallet.

Broken Work Bathroom

2008-03-24T16:58:00.000-07:00

The entire bathroom isn’t broken. Just the stall farthest from the door – the stall door doesn’t like to stay shut anymore. It looks like someone lost their balance & fell into the stall wall and the ceiling bracket / brace came loose and shifted the lock so now the farthest stall doesn’t like to stay shut and the middle stall is hard to shut. I think it just needs a tune up. I keep picturing some poor woman who just falls over after standing up and the whole wall moving & the sheer terror, like "OH NO! I BROKE THE BATHROOM! I better wash my hands and go. They'll never know it was me..."

Robots recycled bag yarn

2008-03-22T03:29:00.001-07:00

Check it out! Even the robots knit. Because they know how cool it is.

They also rock to What Made Milwaukee Famous with their ipods. My, when Robots rule the world it isn't going to be much different, just more plastic and I think they will start making things smaller b/c really, things don't need to be that big when you are only 16 inches tall.

My latest project:
Recycled Plastic bag yarn. Above is the picture of all the yarn strung together. Below is the "finished" project. I wound that big, shaggy mess into a ball. Now I get to knit a bag with it. HOORAY!

My guess is the ball is about as big as my head. The size doesn't seem so noticeable in the picture, but it was big. Big like the pound of yarn I wound into a ball.

More Robots

2008-03-22T03:14:00.000-07:00

Robots At Work

2008-03-22T02:50:00.000-07:00

Yesterday used up my today energy

2008-03-21T16:42:00.000-07:00

I think since yesterday felt like turtle slow it used up all of my today energy.

More robot pictures to come. They went to work yesterday and rocked out insurance style. "You want liability with that?"

I'm an insurance robot nerd! Hooray!

Slow Motion

2008-03-20T16:23:00.000-07:00

Today feels like slow motion. SLOOOW.
Turtle slow.

BURT BACHARACH

2008-03-20T15:43:00.000-07:00

I'm "rocking out" to Burt Bacharach at work. It is so much fun.
Its a compilation cd - The Look of Love and the amount of artists and fun songs is RAD!!!

http://www.bacharachonline.com/

One of the artists is Marty Robbins. I looked him up online. Check out the picture/painting on his website.

http://www.martyrobbins.com/

And there is a band called The Five Blobs. What a name. And the song they sing: The Blob! GENIUS!!!

http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1835 It was a halloween hit in 1958! WOW!!

GO BURT GO!

Robots

2008-03-20T14:11:00.000-07:00

So, I made all those robots (see other posts for pictures).
When I saw my nephews I kept saying "Robotic Beings Rule The World" like the Flight of the Conchords.
http://www.conchords.co.nz/

Only when I say it in robot voice it sounds like Robotic BEANS Rule the world. Now I want to knit Robotic Beans.

Robotic Beings Rule the World.

Petrified Fetus

2008-03-19T16:18:00.003-07:00

Just in case you were wondering about my take on petrified fetus - its that they are gross. Natural, yet gross. Just like tumors.

Blegh

2008-03-18T19:19:00.000-07:00

I Almost fell in the toilet. The seat was up & I didn't realize... EWW!!!! That would be horrible.

Time Travel

2008-03-18T17:32:00.000-07:00

Do you think Time Travel is possible?

I'm torn b/c I love sci fi where it is part of the story. Then I start thinking about time travel & if you go back & change the thing that makes you go back then, do you ever go back & if you don't doesn't the original thing happen? And if you can't change the past then why does everyone think they can. And if you accidently leave someone in the future and go back to the present and change things so the future is different what happens to them? Are they trapped in an alternate reality or does reality just change for them so they are all "what is going on? Yesterday I was in jail and now I'm at the zoo...."

And, if it is possible, do you think people are time traveling right now? Maybe not from our time but from the future. Maybe, if there is over population people travel back in time & live now. Only that wouldn't help the overpopulation problem in the future. Anyway, if there is time travel & over population they can set up a colony on the moon or in space somewhere. If we can time travel we better be able to space travel.

I want to go into space. SPACE!!!

ABBA

2008-03-18T13:23:00.001-07:00

Do you think Madonna listened to ABBA?

Robots & Blanket

2008-03-18T02:47:00.001-07:00

It turns out the robots were WAY bigger than I anticipated. They didn't fit in a box I wanted to put in the suitcase (or the box didn't fit in the suitcase, I suppose). So I had to make do. I tried to pack them as carry ons in a duffel bag deal but only one really fit & I had 4 to transport to MN. So I ended up taking paper boxes from work, smooshing their heads down and sort of smoshing them in the saddest way. Luckily they all made it safely and were a big hit with the receipients and random people who saw me walking around with robots.

And here are 3 pictures of the baby blanket I started a while back at the What Made Milwaukee Famous shows. I'm loving it. I want to make one for myself and put the bands name and other band names in it. I want to put one letter per each weave. So I would just have, basically, a huge, knit list of my favorite bands. HOORAY!!!! Pound of yarn at Michaels - get ready. I'm on my way!!!

More Robots

2008-03-18T02:40:00.001-07:00

A few more pictures. And a picture of my salt and pepper shaker. They get jealous when everyone else gets their picture taken.

More Robots

2008-03-18T02:30:00.001-07:00

They are pretty curious creatures. And as you can see, not to small.

Robots!!!!

2008-03-18T02:16:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pictures of my robots. And knit monsters thrown in for good measure.

Enjoy.

I am DONE making robots. :) They were super fun and time consuming.

Hmm

2008-03-17T17:44:00.000-07:00

Robots to come.
