I finally got rid of my Filatura di Crosa 501! Yesterday I drove to the post office with my first red scarf, most of my second sewn together, and the last square about 3/4 of the way done. The kids were really good while I sat there and finished knitting and sewing my second Red […]

… or, “I just saw ‘Heat’”. One of the jokes my favorite comedian, Jim Gaffigan does is all about seeing a movie way after everyone else and wanting to talk about it then!
Well last night I started on my long TiVo list, which includes our HBO shows and movies as well. I finally got […]

I got into Degrassi last year, not when I was in high school, but I am still hooked. I haven’t been as into it this year, but I still watch it. So I was watching last night’s episode, deciding that I think it would be nice if Liberty and J.T. got back together. To quote […]

I had a lot of TV/knitting time today since DL had to stay late at school (imagine, school until 5:30 on a Friday!), and you’re not going to believe what I found: more of that *&()($@# Filatura di Crosa 501! Not much, but I swear it’s multiplying.
After finishing my 4 hours of ’80s videos, I […]

How does 4 hours of ’80s videos sound to you? There wasn’t much left on my TiVo except “We Are the ’80s” - four hours worth! And the scary thing is that they were all really good! Even Scritti Politti!
I finished “24″ from Monday. Don’t worry, I won’t give out any more spoilers. (Although I […]

Thank God for satellite. I couldn’t stand to watch Bush discuss the founder of the Baby Einstein Company on the State of the Union today. Sure, my kids are addicted to “Little Einsteins” but I’m sure if it weren’t around, it’d be something else.
So I start flipping the channels, and I almost missed “Dirt”! […]

I am finally getting to the most recent Grey’s Anatomy.  What is up with everything being on Thursday these days? And you know The Office will always be priority #1!  Anyway, one of my specialities/interests in my Masters’ program is the use of silence in sound design.  There was a great example of a use […]

I’m doing great on my Second Sock Syndrome sock. It’s almost done, I just need to finalize the toe decreases and then I’m done! Of course I need to do my Sock-ret Pal’s socks entirely, but that will be next.

I’m also working on my stash sweater for the Sweater A Month KAL. I hope I […]

The reason I knit so little during the year is this:
On Friday I was out looking for birthday gifts for the 2 two year old birthday parties we were invited to this weekend (one was even in the land of the billionaires - you’d think after going to high school in the Maryland suburb of […]
