I've seen this one going around, and haven't been able to answer anyone's yet (I'm thinking it over!), but I figured I'd repost it anyway, because the results promise to be entertaining:

We're Teaching Qwerty to Say "It's a Trap!"
Me, when Jimmy came home this afternoon: I accidentally slept almost all day.
Jimmy: Well, it could be worse.
Me: Yeah?
Jimmy: You could have been on fire that whole time.
Me: *laughs, concedes the point*

Unrelated Things Are Probably Not Related

MELTED.
Tucson Chayon-Ryu is having a yard sale to raise money so that a couple of my students can go to Houston to test for their black belts.

Opinions?
I think it's time for some further Adventures in Sewing. I've been wanting to try my hand at shirts of some kind for a while, because I would, y'know, like to have more shirts. Especially if they fit me and look nice.
So! I think this pattern is within my skillset and is cute and etc., but I have a concern. It is that back when I was small of ( Read more... )
