All in all, it's been a pretty good week for this little bee. Aside from the barista awkwardness, of course. Today, I learned how to start knitting socks. I've done things on double-pointed needles (DPNs) before, but didn't really know how to go about starting on a sock. My last attempt, which was about 2 years ago, failed miserably, since I was ( Read more... )

so... I just found out that Choke is coming to limited release on 9/26. If it's somewhat far away, I will road-trip it. I saw the preview for it when I went to see Hamlet 2, and it was incredible to see on the big screen. Hamlet 2 was rather disappointing, but movies with a lot of hype usually are. There were funny parts, but they were too far ( Read more... )

Anybody else remember Say What? Karaoke on MTV? That was a great show...

Note the Shaft-style music playing in the background. I want one!

Sea World goes down tonight. Yeahhh.

Remember that garage sale haul I mentioned before? Last night at knitting, I was regaling everyone with my awesome tote bag find, and then I mentioned the five plastic canvas pattern books that came in the tote bag's matching suitcase. Who, I ask, has five freaking plastic canvas pattern books? GAG! Here's a picture of them:

what am i doing wrong that makes people not want to hire me? i know the job market sucks right now, but seriously... i would just like to know what to do or not do when i go for interviews or mail out resumes. i've done everything recommended for preparing my cover letters and resumes (it kills me that i can't add the accent over the e here... it ( Read more... )

So I'm seriously considering making some postage with my picture on it. How awesome would that be? Check it out! No special reason for it, other than I think it would be great.

I have a major crush on Eli Roth. Not because the movies he directs are spectacular... they're not (hello Hostel and Cabin Fever), but because he's a major babe. Thank ( Read more... )

This makes me miss ceramics class. A lot...
