Hey Ed...

Thought you might be interested.

It's a pretty good deal, I think.

Hmm...

I remember... I once had an idea for gummi sushi. And then, within a year, stumbled across this.

Well. Now apparently someone else does a chocolate version.

This post brought to you by...

Shirley of Scotland, who collected, joined, and backed the many squares of the Pratchgan, including my two little squares (the pink in the top right-hand corner, and this one also, which is on the left-hand side, further down than the text, and is based on the Seamstress Guild coat of arms.

Just wanted to share Shirley's post though, 'cause seeing this thing next to Terry Pratchett is pretty awesome.

Merry Christmas, damn it

So, you might have seen this.

If so, I'm sorry.

If not, and you have time on your hands then check out graphjam.com.

And for Dave... jamphat.com/rap... (explicit language of course...)

Frick frick fricket y frick!!

Okay, so who went and made a movie after Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising without telling me, and then released it last month when I wasn't looking?

Seriously.

And of course, it will be a few months before I can put it on the Amazon list.

Not happy. And... who told them they could make more Stephen King movies? The Mist? That's the best he or you guys (Hollywood) can do?

Definitely excited about Prince Caspian next year though. And Sweeney Todd soon.

But frick frick frick frick frick on that "The Seeker: The Dark is Rising" bit!!!

Oooh magical boys

2007-10-25T01:47:57Z

Okay, so yeah, I didn't want to get into Pushing Daisies too much, but...

Last week's episode was cute. And this week... My hottie Benvolio was on, and they sang "Little Birdhouse in Your Soul."

So how can I not like this show?

You thought knitting would never be good:

Suggested by the knitting girls, shopping for home brewing:
Midwest Supplies
Northern Brewer

Love you.

Why do I love Ravelry?

2007-08-15T23:23:44Z

Here are a few of the groups I'm in on Ravelry (knitting site still in beta testing):

Football-along (knitting during football, or knitting football-related stuff)
8-bits and knits (gaming knitters)
Knitting through grad school
LSU Knitters
The 20 Spot (20-somethings who knit)
Beer and Fiber Group

Yep, beer and fiber group. And you know they're decent when the first pic you see in there is that Sea Dog Bluepaw Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale.

My kind of people.

Got tha hookup

2007-06-13T14:31:56Z

So yeah:

1 visit to Tampa + lots of gaming fun + free A/C: Wild Wild West = major purchase decision.

Not that we weren't getting a DS anyway, but it agitated the urge.

So last weekend we got:
1 DS Lite Onyx
1 c. Pokémon Pearl
1 c. Magical Starshine
1 c. Harvest Moon (which shouldn't make me sick, and hopefully won't piss me off)
1 DS travel case.

And then Kenny went and got himself:
1 DS Lite White (whatever they call that color)
1 c. Pokémon Diamond

So we are now hooked up and ready to play. I haven't figured out friends codes yet, but if anyone is still A/C'ing it, feel free to leave a comment so I can know if figuring out a code for that game is worth my time ;)

Back in time!

2007-06-05T13:24:02Z

We're back from Tampa.

I actually made it to work 15 minutes early.

And things are cool. More to be posted later (maybe, if I remember).

Anyone doubting Rowling's integrity...

2007-06-01T00:29:27Z

should go check this.

Yeah, someone would probably scoff at me posting this. Or think that I'm already planning to go.

But no. And that tells you something about book 6.

things to do

2007-05-18T17:24:45Z

1 thing on my list is now done: start a knitting journal.

lsu-tiger-knits.livejournal.com

no content yet, but now i can post knitting crap without feeling bad about it here.

this is how we do it!!!

2007-05-16T01:56:56Z

CPLT 7120 (The Marx you read about previously): A
CPLT 7140 (Surrealism/Frida Kahlo B.S.): A
HIST 7930 (Tudor Reading Survey): A

I don't think I've done this in my entire collegiate career.

Fuckin' A's.

this is how it should be...

2007-05-15T03:55:53Z

yeah, i'm done, and i'm late posting this.

one grade so far.

course:

CPLT 7120, Dr. McGee, "Politics of the Real: Marx, Nietzsche, Badiou"

perhaps my grade should have been "b" because I don't think I'm quite up on Marx, Nietzsche, or Badiou, although I would like to argue some philosophy on whether or not they oppose God or just organized religion.

but, alas.

(read here: "because i am so proud of my ability to bs, you are now inundated with grades")

participation - 90 (one or two sick days, and maybe a day where i had no clue)
first response - 86 (missed Marx's sarcasm in das kapital)
second response - 94 (what? we were wondering how to get an a...)
final term paper - 93 (i say again, what?!)

so I have a 91.8 A (score!)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

2007-04-20T04:44:40Z

In my eagerness to book an early June flight, I somehow missed that what I was really booking was for the first weekend of May.

Thank goodness, no airline cancellation fees.

:(

-by the way, the June thing is now done correctly.

i think i have to change into black...

2007-03-27T20:37:49Z

So, no, despite recent comments in other peoples' journals, I have not been paying attention to the new franchising that is TMNT.

But I found out why my brain was trying to protect me.

"Sarah Michelle Gellar ... April O'Neil (voice)"

Why?

An ode to growing older

2007-01-28T21:04:48Z

This morning I decided to delete an old yahoo account, which included my (rather old) poetry site. We're talking crap from 2000 here, basically.

And the best things were: a) a poem from my high school English teacher, b) stuff I wrote for college credit, and c) a few backgrounds (yep, images).

This also coupled by the realization that I was probably, at the time, in severe denial that my relationship with obviously-now-ex-boyfriend was going absolutely nowhere.

I'm going to spare you and not provide examples of what I, at the time, must have thought was witty lyricism... (because I was obviously wrong).

Adventure Time

"Adventure Time" on Google Video
Don't ask questions. When you have time, and are comfy, watch.

Love is a garden...

2006-12-19T21:39:39Z

A - Comparative Literature 7130 - African Diaspora
A - Spanish 4054 - Golden Age Lyric Poetry (95 A on my 20 pg. paper in Spanish)
B - ultra tough History 7923 (or so) - Teaching Western Civilization seminar

A - For Elebits. It seriously rocks. I love easy games.

SWiit!

2006-12-02T03:38:07Z

I will also have Kenny repost this on his, for anyone on his list, so if you see it again, don't be surprised.

Thought I would pass this on, since I am the type who needs warnings like this...

edit: Nintendo's warning site

Note the following sentence:
"If you are having so much fun that you start perspiring, take a moment to dry your hands."

Not "If you are moving so much that you start perspiring," you know...

wii are hooked up...

2006-11-27T18:51:20Z

... but won't have wii at our house until Friday.

the MOH michichan1 hooked us up & bought it today; she's coming over Fri for my b-day.

this rocks.

Note to self:

2006-11-26T00:53:43Z

Self,

While you're not completely stupid, learn to look at things.

Like, instead of re-posting something in the recipe journal, check to make sure it's not there first.

And post more recipes.

Now, note to Amy:

We're re-trying the stuffing recipe from you.
