the everyday adventures of sabrina

• Ladies and Gentlemen, Lilalaunetuch is OFF THE NEEDLES!!!!! Woohoo! #knitting #
• How did I manage to forget the X-Files episode “X-Cops”? I mean, there’s bad (Teso Dos Bichos), & then there’s “crossover w/Cops” bad. #
• Lilalaunetuch patterning done! Off to the garter stitch races now. #
• I think I need to knit a little felted caddy for crap on my desk. Like, right now. Instead of writing papers for school. #
• This is ridiculous. Where is my motivation this morning? I have to do homework! #
• Registered for speed-reading class at Pumping Station: One in a couple weeks. See if it’s interesting! #
• Ugh. Only person to show an interest in Louet so far appears to be sketchy. Back to square one. #
• @edibow Transport museum!! in reply to edibow #

• Just finished Lilalaunetuch row 200. 408 stitches wide at this point. 18 more to go, then I can bind off!!! (Not happening tonight tho!) #
• @Sanityknit You MUST check out @Regretsy! #
• There really IS an app for everything! http://is.gd/4PRTB #
• @mizmoose So did I. Um. Whoops? in reply to mizmoose #
• @ebertchicago Pearl Harbor. aka Hours Of Our Lives We Can Never Get Back. #NameThatFilm in reply to ebertchicago #
• Screw homework. Row 192 of Lilalaunetuch done. On to the last motif! – Next proj, am tempted to start on self-designed Prairie. Fret? #
• Posted my Louet for sale to craigslist. Wonder if I’ll have any more luck this way? #
• @sanityknit Thanks :) I can’t wait to see it once it’s actually done! in reply to sanityknit #
• Wish I could stay home and knit on my pretty Lilalaunetuch! Alas, am off to gym to have pers trainer beat me up again. Then homework. Augh! #
• Lilalaunetuch in progress: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sldownard/4083291952/ #
• “Do I have to declare 22p in interest income on taxes?” http://is.gd/4PCPU I think you should, just to amuse whoever reads the paperwork. #
• @smokes70 Weekend weekend weekend! WEEEEEEEK ENNNNNND I love you weekend! in reply to smokes70 #
• Still thinking longingly of a new wheel. If I roadtrip all the way up to The Fold, I practically *have* to buy one to jstfy the trip, yeah? #
• Indeed. Yikes. // RT @soxmachine What the hell happened to Sammy Sosa’s face? http://bit.ly/3NPxuR #

• Now tho, pressing Lilalaunetuch problem presents itself: What color am I going to dye it? Purpley-blue, maybe? Violet? So many choices. #
• In the Lilalaunetuch home stretch: Row 184! Just 24 rows left! So excited to see it IRL – it’s too wide to stretch out on the needle! #
• Also, I do not like that the driver of said Ford Escape is more concerned about having pink lights than the actual car. Stereotype much? #
• Do not like new Ford Escape ads. Encouraging drivers to be ignorant re: oil changes, etc. seems counter-productive. #
• @rikkikite That doesn’t address the paranoid question — but, that said, who cares if you’re paranoid, if it keeps your data safe. in reply to rikkikite #
• @rikkikite I think the burden of proof lies on the accuser – if they think you are person X, they should say person X’s zip code, not ask. in reply to rikkikite #
• @eddieizzard Hi, Cardiff! #
• I am seriously considering screaming at the wall for $neighbor to STFU with the loud and annoying sound effects already. YEE-HAW! #
• @Ipstenu d’awwwwww. That was adorable! (Also: How the hell did he walk in those boots. Man.) in reply to Ipstenu #
• This. // RT @Ipstenu Dear Anti-Gay-Marriage people. If a Civil Union is ‘enough’, why don’t you guys try it out? #
• THAT IS AWESOME. // RT @smokes70 I see this in @sldownard ‘s future! http://tinyurl.com/y8at4jd #
• Well-intentioned person inquiring as to who these strange people (sysadmins) logging in to his system were == endless mirth this AM. #

• Bummer. Not only do not have With The Lights Out in work MP3 library, don’t even have Nevermind. So much for that “think I’ll listen to.” #

• Oprah’s leaving #Chicago for LA? This stinks. #

• Responded to someone’s Craigslist ad to maybe go see a movie this weekend. Feels surprisingly like an audition. Um, I am awesome? #
• @StevenGlassman Oh, man, they’ve really got their claws into you. They only had me for checking & visa (both via acquisition). Good luck! in reply to StevenGlassman #
• @StevenGlassman I dumped Chase (in a fit of rage) and went with a tiny local bank with 1 location. Never been happier! in reply to StevenGlassman #

• Am ready for my right shoulder to stop with the hurting when I stretch my arms straight out over my head. #

• Ugh. #
• @StevenGlassman “Please just kill me now.” :) in reply to StevenGlassman #
• Someone on IRC suggested earl grey tea with a pinch of lapsang souchong. Going to try that, wonder if it’ll be like Harrods no 42? #
• @hubbit They couldn’t leave that scene in the film. Too many casualties as fangirls fainted and hit their heads. in reply to hubbit #
• Subwoofer room has now acquired a computer sound-effect. “YEE-HAW!” comes through the walls at random but frequent intervals. PJKMN. #
• Seriously, #1 reason to lose weight: Because of the crimes against humanity most women’s plus size “fashions” constitute. #
• @jime60647 Don’t forget how post-menopausal women are banned from marriage ‘cos marriage is for having kids. OH WAIT. in reply to jime60647 #
• Dear Anti-Gay Marriage Voters: Dudes, I seriously couldn’t care less about yr kids or yr marriage, only mine. Jerks. </3, –s. #
• People from Minnesota are a strange and baffling (but highly entertaining) breed. http://www.enp-news.org/ #
