Raiders of the Lost Banana. Dude, with nanners up around AUD$12 a kilo (like US$8 a pound), I’d become a banana bandit too! (The Snook wants me to link to a picture of Mr. Banana Grabber here, but I can’t find one.)

WWKIP Day Photos are online!I gotta say, I was really, really impressed with the turnout we had. The weather was about as good as could be expected – it sprinkled a bit at first but held off the rest of the day. (We were under cover anyway.) The folks at the Sidewalk Cafe looked a…

I’ve got some Amazon gift certificates burning a hole in my e-pocket, so I headed over there today to order the Veronica Mars DVDs. I was alarmed to see a notice that my “June 6 order has recently shipped.” I didn’t place any order on June 6th. What’s even more disturbing is, the site won’t…

Mad Pottery SkillzAren’t my pottery skills coming along nicely? I threw this puppy yesterday in two pieces and then joined them together. It was just a whim, but I think it turned out rather well… Not. Yeah, that’s my teacher Peter’s work. My own output for the evening was pretty crap. Even my turning –…

The Snook and I have often contemplated how nice it would be to eat like the cat. You know, just have a box of “food” that you could dump in a bowl and eat without having to worry about deciding and shopping and cooking and cleaning… (I know we’re foodies, but we’re lazy foodies.) Anyway,…

Heh. First there was the Knitting Olympics; now there’s the Tour de Fleece! If you spin, you should enter. (Much like Mary-Helen, I will not spin. No, I will not spin.)
