Lost and Found

Three and a half years ago, I was attending Utah State University and my wallet was taken from my bag inside a classroom while I went to the bathroom. I checked every lost and found and had my cards all canceled (and incidentally found out which ones cancel your card and which ones just SAY […]

And…. SWITCH!

For all you feed readers who don’t usually visit the site, I’ve changed my theme. Come take a look, if you will, and let me know what you think. I’ve changed the color like… 5 times today, but I think I’m good for now. 😀 I may change it tomorrow, or I may change it […]

The soundtrack in my head

I listen to a lot of music… most of the time I listen to something pulsing at work… whether it’s some New Metal, or Techno or Drum & Bass…. something with a good rhythm.  I helps me stay focused during the day.  For the past week I’ve been playing a CD with a bunch of […]

An Ode to my beloved Rabbitch

In a hat tip to Rabbitch’s post today, here’s my favorite joke: There are 2 muffins in an oven. One muffin turns to the other and says “It’s hotter than hell in here!” And the other muffin shouts “HOLY SHIT!!! A talking muffin!” *gigglesnort* M

Blargh!

I had a whole post written, and then the internets tubes ate it. So here’s the quick and dirty summary in bullets because I like them so: The cool chicks at Purlescence in Sunnyvale, CA are now carrying MimKnits patterns! I’ll add them to the temporary shops page when I get a chance. Yesterday was […]

Pompons!
