Scratch one hideous project!  I'm mailing this bastard out today, so that whichever poor soul commissioned it's existence can squeal with joy at their precious, ugly, baby.  Joy to them.  To me, it looks like something I smeared out of kiddo's diaper onto fabric.  Needless to say, I'm just glad it's out of my house.

College blows!  I don't know how to learn this crap, I swear.  It's like reading Venusian... I don't even know where to start taking notes for biochem but do know that I'm required to memorize the name, abbreviation, form, sub-group, and function of 20 amino acids.  They are bringing up chemistry "review" that I barely slid through in Chem 116 last ( Read more... )

Went to see Dark Knight (finally) on Saturday.  Awesome!  Heath Ledger had one hell of a final finished performance; it wasn't him at any point during the movie, it was only the Joker.  Insanely good, macabre but good.

My mother got me my final birthday gift - she framed the birth announcement I stitched for monster for me.  It's gorgeous, she has ( Read more... )

Among the cross stitch forums, you'll see the initials "HD".  A lot.  Stands for "happy dance" and I guess a lot of people think that when they finish a project, this is the thing to do.  "Look, I finished, happy dance with me," they type, sometimes with bold, loud-colored fonts and animated emoticons...
