the everyday adventures of sabrina

• Also dyed several bits of grey and white wool top in various colors to play with later on. House smells slightly like wet wool now. #
• Was too tired to pay enough attention to spin laceweight merino. Started a new ripple afghan instead. Bite me, “should work on” projects. :) #
• @beth825 Oooh, I like that Cardigan for Arwen. I vote for that. Or Ariann or Mrs Darcy? in reply to beth825 #
• @beth825 Hm. Well, what sort of style are you thinking? in reply to beth825 #
• Ow. If I wake up dead tomorrow, everyone should correctly point blame at exercise. Exercise is evil. Evil, I tell you. #
• @YarnHarlot Good luck tomorrow! You’re gonna do great! in reply to YarnHarlot #
• @beth825 February Lady sweater? Have been wanting to make that for a while now – I could live vicariously through yours! :-) in reply to beth825 #
• Having finished spinning up the calypso batts I carded a couple weeks ago, now – finish red merino laceweight. Even if have to tough it out. #
• @ascot4congress Signed your ballot petition today @ 8th and State. Good answer. :) #
• Upside of pers trainer: Great workout, exactly what I wanted to work. Downside: Dear God, pls don’t ask me to move ’til Thursday. Poss Fri. #
• I do not want to go to the gym. And yet, here I am. Going to the gym. Damn you, guilty conscience. #

• Nearly done spinning the last of those batts I carded up the other day. Like how it turned out! 3-ply chunky for 2 oz and ?? for the rest. #
• Woohoo! It’s WEEEEEEK ENNNNND! #
• I think it’s telling, also, that most reax I’m seeing are not “Hah, I hate Olympics” but “hah, now Daley will have to actually do work.” #
• Subwoofer Room next door breaks out “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves”… I have an X-Files “The Post-Modern Prometheus” flashback. #
• +111111111 RT @soxmachine Can security begin confiscating “W” and “It’s gonna happen” signs at any non-Cub Chicago event? #
• I wonder how many #Chicago bars are going to be running specials on caipirinhas tonight. Drink up! #
• Persnly, prob wd hv been more into hosting Games if we had had ppl in City Hall I thought had integrity & best interests of Chgo at heart. #
• Y’know, upon reflection, I think that many ppl I know are not opposed to Games per se, but Daley abusing us & our city for personal glory. #
• @WBEZ Giddiness and smart-mouthed cracks about Da Mare. in reply to WBEZ #
• @cloudlover I am really hoping this is impetus for us to elect a mayor not named Daley… in reply to cloudlover #
• Wow. I picture the tears and rending of garments at City Hall right now. Oh, the patronage… Oh, the lost real estate insider deals! #
• @juggernautco Yeow. Yeah. I didn’t want the games, but I didn’t expect to be first voted off the island, either. in reply to juggernautco #
• @Ipstenu @hubbit Heh. I haven’t had to turn the heat on just yet, but the comfy blankies are out and about on the home front. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Grumpy. Was going to wear Swallowtail shawl at work today over black turtleneck. Forgot it. Am now shawl-free and a shade chilly. #
• @cloudlover Well, they’re a step above colored stone-washed jeans, but yeah. Just Say No! in reply to cloudlover #
• @sanityknit AMEN!! in reply to sanityknit #

• @WBEZ Stop Making Sense tonight was most joyful fun I’ve had in ages! #
• Zomg, Stop Making Sense at Navy Pier was UNGODLY AWESOME. May be dancing for hours. #
• I love Zappos so much. Placed order yesterday, 45 mins past ship-same-day deadline, wearing shiny new sneakers out to a movie tonight. #
• Dear udev: DIAF. no love, –s. #
• Dear Autoyast remove-packages list + zypper locks: Biteth moi. no love, –s. #
• @lorenzodeleon You had it coming! Wait ’til I rewrite all your stuff in perl. Then you’ll *really* be sorry. in reply to lorenzodeleon #
• New /etc/system post: Grrrr. http://ziggurat.org/sysadmin/?p=34 #
• New cube has Loud Random Music Room next door rather than Angry Room. Think I preferred Angry Room, actually. #
• Whoops, make that @lorenzodeleon. @ldeleon appears to be someone rather different. Maybe *she* programs. #
• This morning, mi jefe @ldeleon informed me I don’t program, I just write shell scripts. Everyone feel free to pile on him. :P #

• No pings yet for my Louet. Though have yet to resort to posting to Craigslist – that might work, if no #Ravelry folk are interested. #
• So pleased – have gotten several pings on #Ravelry for-trade yarns lately. This + #YarnCon destash table, may shift some stuff out! #
• #Glee was awesome tonight. @Ipstenu, cannot believe you quit it after only the pilot! Kristen Chenowith FTW! #
• @sanityknit Whoa! Really? in reply to sanityknit #
• I’ve had enough of new shitty Chucks they’re producing these days; just ordered a pair of PF Flyers black hi-tops. Want my old Chucks back. #
• This is the second recently purchased pair of chucks I’ve had rip an entire side away (and become unwearable) in short order. Grrrrrrr. #
• Just made a post to Ravelry about selling my Louet. I feel like I’ve made progress in learning to give things up… grown as a person. #
• The Supreme Court is going to hear the case about the Chicago handgun ban. This could be interesting. #
• @Ipstenu Now that’s…low hanging fruit. *slides shades on* in reply to Ipstenu #
• @Kbcraigs What did you do?? in reply to Kbcraigs #
• @beth825 Compromise, knit a shawl in worsted weight. I have a Candle Flame shawl out of Paton’s Classic Wool that I love.. & no seams!! :) in reply to beth825 #
• @Ipstenu But it’s nice to dream for six months out of the year! in reply to Ipstenu #

• @Ipstenu Ha, yeah. Now we’re both eliminated maybe one team or the other will show up to actually play baseball ;) in reply to Ipstenu #
