Sunshine Through the CloudsThere’s nothing like struggling to the end of a stressful week and finding these on your desk. I forget how lucky I am sometimes. I couldn’t ask for a better partner and friend. Thanks, Snookums.

Friday AnnoyancesI’m always torn when I get the impulse to post more tales of Retail Horror. I know I must sound like a broken record to some of you, but others have told me they find these Anecdotes of Hell really funny. And God knows, it helps to get them off my chest. So here…

Ebert pans Superman Returns. Huh. That would probably be enough for me to pass on seeing it, if I didn’t know two people involved in the production…

Lest you think I’m nothing but a Tapestry Craft shill, I’m excited to report that Lincraft are selling 100g balls of Four Seasons Hot Socks for $10! That’s, like, half the cost that other, uh, stores sell them for. They’ve still got a couple colours left too, even after I stocked up. (Hi Snookums!)
