The Bride of Curtkenstein! ;)
Hat head!
Integrated a picture gallery into the site, fixed the Writing page, and updated my cartoon-self’s look for January. It’s an homage to my silly pseudo beret. Want to see the real thing? ;)
Come to think of it, it does look more like a very stout chef’s hat than a beret…it is a very silly hat! ;)
And just ’cause I’m a sucker for a theme and doing very silly things, some bonus silly hats!
Witch Hazel Hat!
And the piece de resistance – a little number I like to call the Sultry Dockworker’s Hat:
End of the year!
My brain is so powerful that it remembers the one time I got car sick from knitting in it and now when I try to knit or crochet (anywhere!), I get nauseated. My brain is an asshole. Still, I managed to almost finish crocheting a cute little beret – purple, not raspberry! – that I will probably never wear anywhere. I’ve not finished it yet. I want to not throw up right now. I wish I were kidding. I’m really not: Needlecraft makes me sick.
In other sicknesses, still sniffly and nose-itchy, so no festivities for me. Curt (the old battle-mace) and I have spent a quiet evening watching MSNBC’s mildly inappropriate “To Catch A Predator” marathon (I mean, we’re watching it, but it’s very strange to have a pedophile-catching marathon on New Year’s Eve, huh?).
Curt turned his pretty green eyes towards me tonight, told me it was the best year of his life, and kissed my hand – the one with our engagement ring on it.
That pretty much sums up the last year for me, too. ;)
Here’s my 43 Things list, tailor-made for 2008. Happy New Year, monkeys. Much love to you all!
(PS – the 3 happy things are permanently nixed, but the photos are still going. Just need to catch up – hopefully tomorrow or the next few weekends!)
(PPS – I know it’s crazy, but I sort of want to see the Dungeon Siege movie. What! It was a good game…)
Death & Cuties
We think the Aerogarden is dead. Yes, everyone, not only did I manage to kill a whole bunch of plant seeds, I managed to obliterate the electronic garden from which they came. Suck. Tomorrow I’m going to try to call the Aerogarden people to see if they will give me free stuff for breaking it. Prolly not, but it never hurts to try.
Today, I attempted to make a stencil for our “I love bobcats” shirt, and discovered that I have no talent for detailed carving. If I’m good and we manage to find a desk for me tomorrow, I might treat myself to another craft buying mini-spree and get the stuff I need for detailed screen-painting. Then, my Bobcat shirt will live!
Pitfall
I am recklessly shirking my C++ homework for blogging, and I imagine I will only moderately regret it. I’ll admit I am not really good with online courses. I have too little self discipline to force myself to do work when I could be – say, making a pillow!
Yes, I made a pillow tonight. It’s retarded looking! Also, I made a pillow case. It is a little too big for my pillow, but I think it’ll take a little bit of time before I can get really good at making anything with my sewing machine. Curt had a moment of panic when he thought I might be itching to fill the apartment with retarded pillows. Which is ridiculous. If I had that many pillows, I would start to foist them upon others, so that they may go forth and breed! The pillows, that is. I don’t mess with People Breeding.
So, I downloaded a plugin today that allows me to include and exclude categories from my main blog index at will. I was able to accomplish this previously only because I half-ass hacked into the Loop to create my never-looked-at Photoblog. So, I’m killing that. In its place, I’ll be sticking my never-looked-at Writing, and integrating the photos into the normal blog flow. Also, I’ve pared back on my resolution to write every day, since some days the writing will take up time that I want to channel into very important retarded pillow making. Whatever. It’ll all work out.
Today, I saw a blog that made me suddenly hate the design of this blog. I can do better! It’s a pain in the ass to modify each month, too. That’s certainly gotta go. Alright – off to homework.
