I put my swift up (a tool used to help wind yarn) and tightened nice and tight with the hand-turn screw. I found out it is in the wrong spot and I can't use it. Problem it's so nice and tight that I can't unscrew it. Anyone got solutions on how to loosen a wooden screw out of a wooden clamp? The clamp is permanently fused to the swift.

So, I do know that this journal actually exists. I know many people who read this already know this information, but I haven't gotten to tell everyone. Drum roll please ( Read more... )

Mike Filteau and I are talking again. That's all.

I'm a vegetarian. I have been since I was 19 years old. I slowly took meat out of my diet so to best learn how to properly substitute protien. Everyone in my life is alright with my decesion except my mother. She hates it and criticizes me about it. Hell, Sean's family makes sure I can eat. My mother tells me how difficult my decision is for ( Read more... )

I didn't get the raise I've been promised (it's been in the works since June). I still can't register for class. I received a traffic ticket on the way home, and I forgot to give the updated address card to the officer.

I found Season 3 of Coupling at Suncoast. This makes me happy. I now only need seasons 2 & 4 and I've got the complete series.

Today I went to Movie World, a great used bookstore in Downtown Burbank, there had been a poster in the window of The Fountain that I had liked (Movie World sells movie posters ( Read more... )

I went to CO this weekend on one of the "Is this still worth it trips". It still is. I want to go to University of Colorado, Boulder so bad. I liked the town, the campus, and Sean's there. I got sunburnt yesterday right before a freak slush storm. Which lead to my wearing a CU shirt over my tank top while Sean was in a CSULB shirt. Way for us ( Read more... )

So I did my much needed shopping today for toilettries (?) at Target and kitchen supplies at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I bought the much needed metal spatula at Target as well. A stop at Best Buy for dvds (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as well as Nightmare Before Christmas) and Starbucks for a new insulated coffee mug (mine is falling apart ( Read more... )

I can't fucking purl. It is fucking up my knitting progress. I have a 1x1 rib scarf I want to knit but when I finish my row it's all knit. I want to knit up socks with my new sock yarn but I need to be able to purl first. God Dammit.
