  • Transit of Venus

    Transit of Venus
    Next week is a very important and rare scientific event: a transit of Venus. I first read about this phenomenon in Bill Bryson’s book A Short History of Nearly Everything. Captain Cook’s first voyage was actually to Tahiti to observe and record the 1769 transit. After the transit, he opened his sealed orders and learned he was to try to find the rumoured “Terra Australis.” And here we are!

    @astroboysoup Ah, I haven’t gone into the templates yet. Hm. It’s literally been TEN YEARS since I touched XSL. This will be fun!


    @mrs_sockvictim Ooh, nice! Not a Tova – something else? Very you…


    Grandpa tried skyping me. “I’m at work!” “Isn’t it a holiday there?” “No, that’s AMERICAN Memorial Day.” Wish it were here though… 🙂


    Mr Snook plays IKEA Tetris in the GoGet car. But we got our chairs home! @ IKEA http://t.co/FGLArOa4


    New chair and Petey Cat. @ Chippendale http://t.co/0yItZO3I


    @kunaal84 Thanks for your help! It will forever be designated “Kunaal’s Chair.” 🙂


    @DDsD Ew. Acrylic. And that looks more like crochet to me. There are heaps of free patterns for them online that are nicer!


    @DDsD Yes. Or you could pay $15 to buy a shitty acrylic novelty crocheted in China. COME ON, LEARN A LIFE SKILL.


    @chrisgander Agreed! Didn’t mind the changes from the book either. And Rains of Castamere? Pretty chilling!

    Testing the fit of my latest sewing project. Perfect! Now to back and quilt… (cc @susiegii @carbolicious) http://t.co/9Pxu2Ako


    @twelveeyes Yep! Been carrying those around for a decade… 🙂


    @randomknits Lovely! Are you getting all your fabric from work, or do you have other sources too?


    @drkknits Remember Your To Do List: 1) Be awesome. Everything else will fall into place.


    Thanks to @astroboysoup for the recommendation for @sigsiu’s Sobi2. Installed last night and it’s *exactly* what we needed!

    Bopping along and making stuff. (Making stuff always makes me feel closer to my Mom and Sister, even though I’m far far away…)

  • Tiny Tack House

    Tiny Tack House – While I like the idea of living in a tiny house, I don’t know if I could live in one *that* small. I like to have my own separate space sometimes. (Not to mention the fact that the Snook is a certified pack rat…)
