How depressing. The Stardust Casino in Vegas – where we stayed on our wedding trip in 2004 – was destroyed to make way for a new mega-resort. Snookums is already scouring eBay for memorabilia.

And it’s here at last… the last day of my twenties. In the past week I’ve had lots of people tell me that the thirties rock, that they’re way better than the twenties. I’m worried that they may be LYING. What do you think?

Kitty Kat Cardy Update: I’ve been dealing with some contrasting impulses this week. On one hand, the cardy bodice could look really cute as a vest. But do I wear vests? Not really. On the other hand, knitting long sleeves in the next ten days is going to kill me. Then last night I had…

Photos from Sunday’s Metafilter Meetup. Those are some great folks, and I such a good time I put my knitting away after only five minutes.
