Is this thing plugged in?

Filed under: Oops — 10:33 am

What I should be doing:

  • Unpacking my suitcase
  • Cleaning
  • Exercising

What I’m doing instead:

  • Lounging in my pajamas under fleece sheets
  • Drinking Coke Zero
  • Boldly going where no Internaut has gone before

Heat Defeat

Filed under: Oops, The Fabulous World of Kiki — 5:30 pm

I’m officially throwing in the towel. I hate to give up too early, because my surrender means I’ve resigned myself to at least 5 months of chilly despair. However, I just can’t take it any more. I’m busting out the electric blanket.

The good news is, I looooooooove my electric blanket. Love love love love love it. I love it so much I want to marry it. It’s the absolute only consolation in these bitter winter months. I jump in my ‘jammies, crank the blanket up to HI, and settle in for roasty, toasty coziness.

I bake like a hot potato for awhile, until I feel the hypothermia wear off, and then I lower it down to the pretty-toasty-but-not-quite-roasty level of 13. In fact, as much as I love it when spring comes, I feel 2% disappointed that I have to pack that lovely blanket away. And then I remember that it’s FUCKING SPRING and I’m ecstatic and I shed that motherfucker like my tortie cat sheds dandruff.

Oops. Seasonal Tourette’s.

Why Alan’s Cats Aren’t Good Yoga Assistants




They apparently have more faith in my sense of balance than I do.

My dog is currently grateful that he’s 70 lbs of big dog muscle. I’m armed with yarn and Lion Brand patterns for little doggie outfits! If only I could stuff him into these hilarious coats!





The real reason my dog should thank his lucky stars:

How bad ideas are born

Filed under: Oops, Craftmania — 9:15 pm

In general, I think I’m relatively practical. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m not going to be President of the United States, a world-renowned actress, a professional athlete, or the greatest mind of the 21st century. I know it’s not in the cards for me to buy an island, drive a Ferrari, or own a unicorn. (Although, truth be told, I still haven’t given up hope that I’ll someday have my own cooking show on Food Network, despite the fact that my idea of cooking currently involves frozen meals and a microwave. A girl’s gotta dream.)

HOWEVER, when it comes to crafting, all bets are off. Innocently perusing the 746.43s at the library, I came across a book with surprisingly good projects.

Fully Woolly may be a kiddie book, but it reignited a flame in the forgotten embers of my heart. It reminded me of my fascination with FELTED BEADS!

Naturally, I began searching the interwebs for a good source for wool roving, the critical component in any bead felting endeavor. Thus begat a series of daydreams that escalated exponentially.

Kiki: I’m going to buy some roving and start making beads!
Kiki: I’m going to love making beads so much that I’m going to start giving handmade necklaces to all of my loved ones!
Kiki: I’m going to need to mix my own colors pretty soon, so I’m going to start dyeing my own roving with Kool-Aid!
Kiki: My hand-dyed roving is going to be so awesome that I’m going to start spinning my own yarn!!!

Mark my words. By 2009’s end, I shall have spent hundreds of dollars on my soon-to-be-forgotten felted-beads-phase.

But can you blame me? FELTED BEADS!!!!!!!

Works for me

Filed under: Oops — 9:51 pm

Things that will make you totally intolerable to your loved ones:

  • Dieting
  • Grad School
  • All-consuming obsession with latest hobby, and inability to talk about anything else

Guilty on all three counts.

Of Kittens and Laser Beams

Filed under: Oops, Internet Geniuses — 11:11 pm

The Internet is truly a wondrous place, for where else can one find such a fine selection of t-shirts featuring kittens with laser beam eyes?


Well done, Threadless and DesignByHumans.
