So, news.
After a brief stint away, I’m back. And I promise to stay on top of the blogging, I swear.
Coming this week –
My first Oops-I’m-A-Dumbass correction post! I was so proud of my patterns I didn’t bother having them test-knit. No sooner did I send copies out than I discovered a real humdinger of a balls-up. Bugger.
How to spin yarn while living in a very, very small hotel room.
Patterns and stash-killing ideas submitted from wonderful friends who I’ve ignored far too long.
My newest pair of sexy call-the-law shoes. All this and more, coming shortly. Keep yer shirt on…I’m a busy lady.
Parting thought for the day:
See? Look closely. I told you so.
I want to set fire to my office computer. My computer’s ID number ends in 666. Really. Last month it killed my entire appointment calendar, wiped-out my Firefox (but not my Internet Explorer — God forbid it harm a Microsoft product!) bookmarks and deleted all mail sent or received in months starting with ‘A’.
Meanwhile, on my lunch-hours, I’m trying to work on some better-than-average paying freelance stuff for a contractor who I, frankly, urgently need to impress. So far every document crafted on this computer has corrupted, been packed with dead links, lost all tracked changes and editing comments or been otherwise garbled when sent in. I now look like the biggest douchetard since Gerald Ford.
I’m considering calling in clergy rather than systems geeks when Mr. 666 has his next tantrum. Bible – ahem – scholar Terry Watkins supposes the mark to be a microchip and or barcode. Behold!…and cue scary music. (I use the term scholar loosely here; he’ s the head of Dial-the-Truth Ministries and is a scholar in the same way Dr. Phil is a doctor. Which is not at all.)
My first knitted voodoo with be likenesses of Bill Gates and Michael Ballmer.
