Things that make me angry
I was rather useless yesterday and watched far too much TV as I knitted and organized 3 months worth of papers and bills, and did my taxes. One thing I keep running across is sensationalist reality TV. I know that reality TV is by it's nature sensationalist, but when it's being used to perpetuate stereotypes, and turns more and more to "other- ( Read more... ) -
Holy crap I'm Crunchy
I'm listening to the Prairie Home Companion Joke show, and am amused by how many of these jokes I would have not gotten when I was 10. It's way better as a grownup. I was reminded that when I was little my mother had a Powdermilk Biscuits shirt. I'm so tempted to get one ( Read more... ) -

I think I'm getting the creeping crud. I felt enough like poo last night that I didn't go to martial arts. I had pho and tea and went to bed early-ish. (11pm instead of my normal 12am) I woke up this morning with a headache, and vague body aches and nausea. Not bad nausea, but enough to notice. My headache has not gone away. This is annoying. I ( Read more... ) -
Schnee!
It's snowing. It does that in New England people! Apparently they've decided that all "non-essential" personnel from my organization can stay home, but clinicians are considered essential. Whatever. I left my house at 7:30am, walked in the door at work at 8:40am. I took the train, and it usually takes me 90+ min to get here. Not today, bus and ( Read more... ) -
Gym stuff
I went the the gym yesterday, and in between doing dead lifts and lunges etc I also tried a set of very light bench presses. I did 3x8 at 45lbs and my shoulder didn't hurt! Yay! I'm not going to make bench press a regular part of my routine because I don't need those muscles for throwing, but it's nice to know that my shoulder doesn't suck as much ( Read more... ) -
Linkage
The great thing about having a partner who's on Twitter is that I get all the benefits of "hey this is cool" without getting 90 million useless tweets to sift through.

Putting it out there
So my youngest brother just graduated from college with a BS in Communications and Social Media Marketing, and is looking for a job. He'd ideally like to work for a video game company, because he's a big geek and loves video games, but really he's willing to take any Social Media Marketing job that pays decently and gets him out of New England. He ( Read more... ) -
Knitting and stuff...
I'm trying to figure out what I want to do for my next knitting project. It has to involve no new yarn, so I'm pretty limited. I was looking for glove patterns, because the yarn I want to use is too scratchy for a scarf, but it's really pretty and I need new knit gloves. As I was poking around I found a pattern for Tardis Gloves redstapler I'm looking at ( Read more... ) -

It's almost 5pm, and I still haven't heard about new job. Boo.
This post really kind of sums up how I feel about many very-outspoken Lefties who thought Obama was close to a diety and expected huge sea-change in a matter of weeks, despite huge opposition from not just the right but the middle too.
