Month: March 2007

  • Why yes, I am a knitting robot from the future…That there is the body of my Argyle Kitty Kat Cardy FINISHED. Well, not technically finished. I have to weave in a million ends and embroider on the white diagonal lines and the cat faces, but the actual knitting is done. (I used a three-needle cast…

  • Home. Sick.

    Home. Sick. I started feeling crappy yesterday at work, and today I’m officially running a fever. My throat is starting to get sore. I think I’m finally experiencing a visit from the Dreaded Summer Flu, which has claimed many a victim in the past month. On the upside, I slept in til 11:30 today.

  • Atkins Results

    Study backs worth of Atkins diet. Interesting reading. I don’t know that I’ve lost any significant weight yet (mostly because I’ve done very little exercise) but at least I haven’t binged in the past two weeks. So that’s good.

  • Overeating

    This Ask MetaFilter question about the way we define our relationship with food really struck home for me. Parts of the question (and the ensuing comments) could have been written by my subconscious. I know for a fact that when I was most successful with Weight Watchers, I was thinking about food *constantly*. It was…

  • MetaFilter Runs 2.0

    Hooray! The next MetaFilter Runs challenge begins on the weekend. I haven’t really had much motivation to run since the last challenge ended, so this will be really good for me. Of course, seeing as how we’re going to be in Indiana for the last week of it, it’s also going to be a difficult…

  • Jet Boat

    Well, my friend Sal finally made it back to the States and today she sent me a link to our photos from jetboating. Check ’em out! We’re the goonies sitting in the back row of the boat. Oh, and if you’re wondering why everyone else is in red and we’re not? Because they’re wearing ponchos.…

  • Cat Craziness.

    Dr. Amy Jones was driving us CRAZY this morning, scratching and meowing at the bed for hours. We tried locking her up in the bathroom, giving her an early breakfast, refreshing her water, everything. She was just being a total poophead. Snookums thinks maybe the wind gusts scared her, or else the lunar eclipse messed…

  • Time lapse Thom Yorke

    Time lapse video of someone painting a Photoshop portrait of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. It’s amazing.
