the everyday adventures of sabrina

• @sanityknit The Band? I love “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”! :) #
• Just listened to really creepy episode of This American Life (#27), now have to listen to perky pop music to try and recover. #
• Actually, American Apparel, I pretty much hate and have always hated *all* your insipid little ads with girls in twee poses. #
• Dear American Apparel: I seriously, *seriously* hate your insipid little sexy bowtie ads with girls in twee poses. Knock it off. </3, –s. #
• @tinapurl Aestlight! in reply to tinapurl #
• @Kbcraigs Great, now just keep doing that for five years and you’re set. =) in reply to Kbcraigs #
• Contreras is losing his starter role and being relegated to the pen again? OH THANK GOD, FINALLY! #whitesox #
• @sanityknit Woohoo! Are you excited to be back to school with real classes this year? in reply to sanityknit #

• @smokes70 Well, I was using JFGI more as a “I will beat you over the head if you do not” rather than a helpful hint, that’s why not lmgtfy. in reply to smokes70 #
• @chowbok Well hey, what’s the worst that can happen, right? Right? in reply to chowbok #
• Today: Alternating waves of “you must be joking” and “you have fun with that”, with “JFGI” for spice. #
• JFGI. JFGI. JFGI! #
• @sanityknit 4PM? What sort of school are you teaching at? :-) in reply to sanityknit #
• Ugh. Sinus headache. Ow. #
• @cloudlover Preach it. Bleh. :( in reply to cloudlover #
• @jime60647 I used to have a studio apt with southern-facing glass wall… and very inefficient a/c :( Ran a/c 10 months out of the year. in reply to jime60647 #
• @sanityknit Woohooo! Finally! Now my tolls to visit you will be “free” (insofar as won’t have to stop on turnpike if forgot to bring cash)! in reply to sanityknit #
• @Kbcraigs 20 minutes early > 20 minutes late. Early, at least you have time to look over notes from last class or snarf a granola bar. in reply to Kbcraigs #
• @jime60647 Yikes. I do not miss living in an apartment where I used to have those too. I think my record was about $425. in reply to jime60647 #
• I have decided that this morning calls for The Kinks. #
• Think I am going to sell my Louet. It has driven me crazy for the last time. (Well, as soon as I ply this merino off the bobbin, anyway.) #
• Suddenly realize I’m a little let down because weekend’s over and I haven’t even got my awesome art class to look forward to. :( #
• @sanityknit Oh no, what now? in reply to sanityknit #
• @Since1908 Friend noted earlier that, this season, we are playing to our opponents’ ability. Too true. #whitesox in reply to Since1908 #

• @smokes70 If I was interpreting correctly, they’re filling people’s @them mentions pages with spam, obfuscating actual responses. in reply to smokes70 #
• You know, I understand time-limited demo software, but completely wasting my time while trying to test the software? Don’t jerk me around. #
• Dear Knit Visualizer: Congrats, your completely crippled demo convinced me to save my $175. Cannot save, print, or export? Ridiculous. #
• Okay, I’m pretty daft for a laceweight clapotis, but you people on #Ravelry with bed-sized sock yarn afghans are just plain nuts. #
• @chowbok Well, that’s the best guess I’ve got, anyways. in reply to chowbok #
• @chowbok Oh, not even hard links. cat `which egrep` == “#!/bin/sh ^M exec /bin/grep -E ${1+”$@”}” Those Cheater McFeeters. in reply to chowbok #
• @chowbok Actually, I don’t even know if they are even separate binaries anymore. Bet they’re just hard links. Oh well. I tried in reply to chowbok #
• @chowbok When you don’t need extended regular expressions, and want to save memory, I guess. fgrep, OTOH, is a true mystery. in reply to chowbok #
• Also, think tomorrow will finish current pattern section on Lilalaunetuch and then start messing around with Prairie, or maybe Shawlcago. #
• Kinda thinking it’s time to switch back from Clapotis to Nelly as the calm, easy WIP. Nelly more interesting, plus is halfway done already. #
• #Whitesox won game. got about 6″ done on Clapotis (now about 24″ long, stupid laceweight), lost only 2 stitch markers. Wins all ’round. #

• 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. #
