Sigh

Today was a rough day.

Work was hard.
The cat was barfy.
And all my dreams of employment are dead.

{insert buzzer sound here.}

PS: I like towels.

Action in the 'hood

"San Francisco police have detained a man who allegedly stabbed an off-duty officer riding his bicycle this afternoon, authorities said."

Yes, and they arrested him ON MY STREET!!

ETA: a link to an updated article.

Why I love Netflix

Watched last night. There were no Oscar® caliber performances but it was bizarrely heartwarming.

Sick Knitting

I just recently had the Death Cold. 4 days of horrible sinus pain and suffering. Three days of recovery (although I'm still not 100%). Used tissue strewn around the house as far as the eyes can blearily see. The sorest of nose and throat. Avoid it if you can. Unless you want some mediocre knitting time. Then I totally recommend it.

Time for a bag!

It's the beginning of the month, time to rip open a Personal Sock Club (PSC) bag. And the winner goes to:

Uptown Boot Socks from Interweave's Favorite Socks is the pattern. Lang Jawoll Cotton is the yarn and I have to say it's the most psychedelic color I've seen since my Jimi Hendrix X-Mas Cardi. Don't know if the yarn/pattern combo is going to work but I'm going to give it a go. Also there's a theme between my first PSC09 project and this one: yarn gifted to me by my friend Sophie.

ETA: As soon as I got a few stitches on the needle Paul started eying this yarn. When asked if he would like socks in this yarn he couldn't say yes fast enough. So the Uptown Boot Socks pattern has been thrown to the wayside and I've cast on for a generic top down pattern just for Paul.
