“He looks like a Bob.” Apparently scientists have determined that certain names are associated with certain facial characteristics. Huh. I wonder if it only works for guys. (I’m reminded of The Breakfast Club and the bit about “Claire” being a fat girl’s name.) I guess if you have an obscure name like the Snook, the…

Pass the TumsSale preparations continue and I’m starting to feel a little stressed. Plus I keep remembering that this is about the time last year when I developed my stomach problems. Must stay relaxed. Things always work out in the end, right? (Pssst. Word on the street is: minimum 20% off everything, with some big…

I’ve been listening to the Kimchi Girls podcast lately. It’s two adorable girls teaching you to speak Korean. And they use K-pop to bookend the show! Very awesome.

I think I’ve told all the knitters I see on a regular basis, but in case I missed you, here’s the Hot Tip of the Week: the Tapestry Craft Annual Sale starts Saturday the 26th.

Stupid CustomerSometimes it’s very difficult to keep a note of frustration out of your voice when dealing with an exceptionally stupid customer. Say, for instance, a woman who demands a child’s dress pattern she saw in a book “last week,” yet can’t remember which book it was (or even what colour the cover was). People,…
