the everyday adventures of sabrina

• Just realized weirdest thing: am actually stressed out b/c feel I need to accomplish so much leisure time activity while weekend lasts. WTF. #
• Hmmm. Also, really need a Sox colors shawl can wear to ballpark when chilly. New red swallowtail too close to Orioles orange to wear tonite. #
• Oh, and Swirl shawl (brain-damaged) swatch is blocking. Feels weird to care about gauge, but have to see how pattern is working up. #
• Think I might take Clapotis to #whitesox vs. Orioles tonight. Mindless #knitting but dangerous: many opportunities to drop stitch markers. #
• 51 rows into Lilalaunetuch. Chart cd be broken down a bit, have to do it myself for each RS row, so slow going. Still, easy & looks great! #
• @Kbcraigs That means more money for pizza! in reply to Kbcraigs #
• @suezq_WI The fact that you have more yarn means you won’t need it. (If you didn’t have it, you would. Yarn supply logic. Never fails.) in reply to suezq_WI #
• Slept for like 11 hrs last night. Brilliant. 1st time I feel awake in weeks. #Whitesox game tonight too! SCHOOOOOOOOOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER! #

• @sanityknit Home sick. Hyoooooge headache. (Which naturally means that downstairs neighbor has been banging on walls all day.) in reply to sanityknit #
• Hmmm. I think it’s time to face reality: It’s time to frog that doesn’t-quite-fit Jaywalker sock that’s been zzzz for like 2 years now. #
• Swallowtail is on the blocking wires! Now the tedious waiting until it’s dry starts. OTOH, get to raid stash for yarn for next project! #
• Just finished binding off Swallowtail! Just have to weave in ends and block it and it’s done! Hooray for new red shawls! #
• Also, Kasey’s “internet jukebox” does not have “Happy Birthday” from the Beatles’ white album. UNACCEPTABLE. #
• “Sad” is realizing that “interlibrary loan item” you’ve been waiting on for 2 mos. is not, in fact, the interlib loan item you thot it was. #

• @hubbit Except for that? :) I’m pretty limited to “Sprechen Sie englisch oder französisch?” and “Ein bier, bitte!” these days. in reply to hubbit #
• Ich muss mein Deutsch üben. Alas. #
• @hubbit You worry me when you say things like that. Do we need to stage a randomness intervention? in reply to hubbit #
• Have chosen my next lace pattern. Lilalaunetuch: http://bit.ly/SSy5C
  It’ll be awesome! #
• Woot! Down to only 8 rows left on the Swallowtail! Then onward to the next project! #
• @christensen I am shocked to find we disagree about this issue. Shocked! in reply to christensen #

• @Ipstenu It’s hard to make a funny remark in response to things that mostly just make you want to put your head down and sigh. in reply to Ipstenu #
• #healthcare socialism comment WIN: http://is.gd/2p40m #
• Love people defending crazy Hitler lady by saying she didn’t know Rep. Frank was Jewish. Because nobody else is offended by Nazi cmparisons. #
• I mean, it’s not that I don’t want new stuff, but… Two grand, dude. Of yarn. I am fortunate to have this awesome stash to knit from. #
• Budget tip: Having done yarn value inventory last weekend does actually make it easier to turn down sales. #
• Jeez. Good thing the #whitesox played a day game today. #
• @hubbit Once upon a time there was quiet in my head, but now it’s only cheesy love songs. Nothing I can do, I’m totally losing the plot. in reply to hubbit #
• #1 favorite thing about 30th fl apt: Watching storms roll in from the west, watching west side progressively disappear as it approaches. #
• @writchrd Hooray! Your long national nightmare has ended! in reply to writchrd #
• @sanityknit In fairness, though, I think we can all see from recent events in the public policy world that most people are, in fact, idiots. in reply to sanityknit #
• $%^&*(&^%&*(. Reading old tweets got “T**** E****** of the H****” stuck in my head AGAIN. *brain melts* #
• @Ipstenu @smokes70 Yeahh.. I guess that just seems like miscategorization due to laziness, and I’m pedantic enough to want another way :-) in reply to Ipstenu #
• I wish Twitter had a “save this” ticky box for all the things people tweet while I’m at work that I want to look at when I get home. #
• @cloudlover I don’t think so! Check out Stanley’s Fruit Market at North/Elston for organic fruit & veg, tho prob not locally sourced. in reply to cloudlover #
• Dear RedHat: Emails with subject lines indicating “Your [sic] invited” are not convincing me to give you money. Sun can spell. <3, –s. #
• JUST BECAUSE I AM A GIRL AND I AM NICE, I AM NOT THE SECRETARY. #
• THIS. http://is.gd/2orbs #healthcare #
• @Ipstenu LOL! in reply to Ipstenu #
• “It’s taxing to remember where the political lines are drawn when the only thing you care about is hating the president.” http://is.gd/2op4m #

• @Ipstenu Surely G-d would make an exception just this once. Have challah while waiting in line! ….mmmm, challah. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Arrrgghgghghgh. So close to being done with Swallowtail, wanna knit! But must do homework first. Alas. #
• Have tried reading German and speaking Spanish today. Could put on Quebecois folk music and hit for the cycle. #
• @suezq_WI NP, hope it helps! I got the idea from http://pepperknit.com/blog/archives/373 and it worked really well for me. :) in reply to suezq_WI #
• SHIT NOW I GOT THAT SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD TOO, DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT. Quit laughing, @Ipstenu and @smokes70. #
• @Ipstenu Every now and then you get a little bit cranky, and are tempted to slap me in the head? in reply to Ipstenu #
• As yet more continuation of my accidental preoccupatio with this song: “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” Flow Chart [PIC] http://su.pr/A3ZFzh #
• Those German #lace #knitting designers of gorgeous things: http://www.belle-online.de/ und http://www.die-wolllust.de/shop/ #
• Discovered multiple GORGEOUS shawls by German designers. Need to brush up on German skills for blog-reading purposes, obviously! #
• @suezq_WI Just finished the nupps on Swallowtail myself! Try sl2 purlwise, p3tog, psso – faster & easier! in reply to suezq_WI #
• Contemplating what to knit for next lace project. Want something uncommon, detailed yet patterned so can be put down intermittantly. Hmm. #
• http://www.cmap.illinois.gov/scans/ has interesting/scary information on expy traffic patterns. Ppl srsly spend life commuting like this? #
• @hollo Party on, dude. :) in reply to hollo #
• @hubbit That was awful. But imagine a Palin/Bachmann ticket. Non-stop thrill ride of crazy hijinks from start to glorious train-wreck end. in reply to hubbit #
• @BetterWorldClub Because nothing says “I want to discuss my concerns in a rational manner so we can reach consensus” like an assault rifle. in reply to BetterWorldClub #
• @cloudlover Awesome! Thanks. That made it look much easier than I thought. :) in reply to cloudlover #
• Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. #
• @cloudlover Can I ask – is there some trick to doing the braiding? I always cheat and make a ginormous crochet chain, but braids are pretty. in reply to cloudlover #
• @Kbcraigs Vroom! Good luck! Have fun! Send me your rocket card info thingie! For the love of pete don’t pay full retail for textbooks!!! in reply to Kbcraigs #
• @guardianrobot #tickle! in reply to guardianrobot #
• Ha! Done with Lily of the Valley border on Swallowtail shawl. Do not understand why everyone makes such fuss over nupps? Not so hard rilly. #
