I really hate watching the news, it’s all bad news, all the time, and that’s just crap!
And on the rare occasions when a good news story is going to be shown, you end up having to wait all the way through the bad news to get to the little snippet of good news. Why is [...]

I’ve been preparing to knit up my camera case, and of course that means… swatching!
This is when you knit up a test amount of fabric, usually that is 20 stitches by 20 rows. From there you can determine your gauge, another knitting term, that refers to how many stitches you get in a cm. [...]
“We’re eating oranges and making fake IDs” That particular line comes from the movie The Fugitive, and has become synonymous in my home with doing anything productive.
I’ve been productive in the last few days, with cleaning up my kitchen from top to bottom, knitting up a storm, sorting out some silly finance issues, and [...]
I get really sleepy in the afternoons, it’s kind of ridiculous how often this happens to me, it makes me feel like a child!
Every afternoon around 4:00pm I become very tired. It’s really hard to focus on anything and if I happen to be at Uni in a lecture, I can barely stay focused on [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so here’s another theme post… about toys!
Okay so I’m doing another of these theme posts, because they are so much fun. They are also a good excuse for me to spend a lot of time on Ravelry.
First up I’m looking at toys that [...]
Beastly tech stuff
Posted in Life, Technology, knitting on Aug 30th, 2009
You think you have it all covered, but nooooo, beastly tech stuff always requires more!
In this case I’m referring to HDTV. I have a seriously awesome television that my fiancé and I bought earlier this year. We’re really happy with it, though we did spend more than we originally intended, partly because the sales person [...]
Terrible Uploading Times
Posted in Life, Technology, knitting on Aug 30th, 2009
It’s something I’ve only recently really noticed, but it’s really frustrating none the less.
I’ve got a pretty darn good net connection, to be honest. I have cable broadband, which also gives me access to a VoIP telephone system and IPTV, which is all really fantastic. I love my set up. I’ve got a 300MB [...]
Everyone knows that music effects us in different ways. Certain songs can bring us to tears or get our blood pumping. For me, I’ve noticed that songs by Lady Sovereign make me feel obnoxious.
Yes, that’s right, obnoxious. I’m usually a calm, nice, friendly sort. Sure I’m a little cynical and sarcastic as well, but [...]
A friend loaned me the first two seasons of Dexter recently, and my fiancé and I just got around to watching them…
And season 1 was traumatising for this little lady. It’s a good show, in some ways, but the gore of the first season left me feeling sickened and quiet after each episode. I [...]
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve two cats. One male, nearly four, and one female, nearly nine. The boy-cat has recently developed a rather annoying habit.
I’ll preface the rest of my post by explaining that I like my anonymity here on the interwebs, and I don’t want to disrespect my kitties by giving their identities on [...]
