Which house did they expect I'd be sorted into? :P



be sorted @ nimbo.net

I really hope I get well soon. Everything tastes nasty. Even my favourite chai tea. :( I hate being sick. I hate the shakes I've been getting and how weak I feel.

Healtho returneo!

Today is root canal day. Pity me.

Also, I had chocolate chip waffles for breakfast. My kitty is behaving himself, and its sunny and bright today. Good mood is imminent, despite dental fears.

Downloaded a dozen or so linux based podcasts. I really really want the new Hannah Montanna PSP pack coming out in July, JUST for the PSP. Even if it ends up having some dumb HM design on the back, I have been desperate for a purple PSP for ages. AGES.

Ahem.

Anyhoo, thats my updates from me. Should I get the DSi when it gets here or wait for it to come out in a color I like? I'm keeping my DS Lite, maybe thats really enough for me. I use homebrew too and I'm comfortable with my DS as is.

And I'm gonna buy a cat tree for my kitty. :) My kitty needs spoiling.

I need to do my laundry too. AGH TOO MUCH TO DO!

Fanfiction.net has been in a glitchy state for THREE DAYS! What the frak is wrong with this thing? I'm not the only one too, a lot of people are talking about it. Three people have been able to post updates after nearly three days of errors, and according to one them I read the thread of it was a monumental task to just get logged in and posted.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Yesterday I made a video of my loom, and the project that I did on it, which I got through pretty quickly in fact.

Here be video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SkBx6aN8hw

Rainbow belt. Yay! :D

Now I just warped the loom for the next project. It took FOREVER!! But it'll be worth it, the yarn I chose, red and white, nice canadian colors, looks so nice on the loom. I'll post pictures once I've started weaving a bit, as I'm still fiddling a bit with the warp.

My Beka Rigid Heddle loom arrived just right now! :D I have sportingly left the sample project on the loom in order to get myself familiar with it, but I'm not to happy with the project they gave me.

The rainbow threads are wonderful. The chunky red yarn they put on for a weft doesn't go so well it it, you lose the rainbow weaving with it.

Another peeve: two of the heddles in the large heddle reed they sent are loose, I'll have to glue them in place.

But I am otherwise really happy. I be happy. :) I shall post pictures or whatever later, right now, I'm removing that red yarn I think, and getting some of my nice white crochet thread to go with the rainbowy stuff. :3 We shall seeee.

Today I'm going to see my councillor, and I have to decide whether I should go to this crochet group I found afterwards or just get my shopping done and go home. A frustrating decision to make. I don't like the idea of being downtown all day, and then sitting around crocheting with strangers. But at the same time, I do like the idea. Crocheting in company.

And then there's the fact that I feel a headache creeping up on me. I want to do this, go crochet in a group!

I'll just have to bring my crochet stuff with me today and see how I feel about it when the time comes. :/

Also, a good crochet podcast: http://podcast.thecrochetside.com/

Hi everybody! :) I am now in the process of learning how to knit! I have crocheted all my life, but never knitted.

Kind of wish I hadn't picked up the needles. My raynodes is giving me pain pain pain! D:

I got the knit stitch down pat, even if my tension is screwy and my work is slow. But man, purl really giving me trouble!

Having trouble with keeping my knitting from being too tight, or from bunching up. :/ Guess I should just work on learning the stitches and the tension problem will work out.

Doesn't help that I'm using the wrong sized needles for the wrong sized yarn. But I only have one pair of knitting needles. A trip to Walmart may be needed soon. :o

I just bought a copy of Handmade Nation and I'm looking forward to reading it.

But I'm in Canada...how can I see the film? Will I have to go to a movie theatre, or can I rent it from Blockbuster? I shall have to do my research.

Also, I took the handmade pledge: http://www.buyhandmade.org/

Let it be known that handmade rocks!
