the everyday adventures of sabrina

• @sanityknit http://lmgtfy.com in reply to sanityknit #
• @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. #

• @christensen Am starting to think it is your secret hobby to switch blog platforms/hosts/etc. #
• Woo! Classes all done for summer quarter! Just have to email paper to writing prof & am on break! IT IS A THING OF BEAUTY. #
• Hooray! $dad{niqui} rescued $grandma{niqui}’s computer, and crisis has officially ended. Phew. #
• Monday drags on. And on. Brought swallowtail shawl to knit on in class tonight, if I get any knitting time. We’ll see. #
• Morning started out with coffee & health care discussion with friend at work, who is hard-core right and always fun to debate things with. #
• @guardianrobot #ineedahug because today’s going to be a long day! #

• @sanityknit That sort of admonishment more useful on the weekends not entirely taken up by having to unexpectedly work most of the time. :) in reply to sanityknit #
• Ha! For like the first time ever, Word politely waited to freak out and crash until AFTER I saved in all my open docs! WOOHOO! #
• Grararraghggh. Sorry, @Chowbok, we’ll have to continue this later, I seriously gotta work on this ^&*( paper. #
• @chowbok Also, why does providing service mean less innovation? Hasn’t been the case for, say, free & open source software. in reply to chowbok #
• @chowbok But innovating new solutions is not the same as putting them into practice and providing care. in reply to chowbok #
• Argh. Keep getting sidetracked from homework. Stay on target, Gold Leader! #
• @chowbok And also, show me the hippie liberal treehuggers bringing weapons to protests and referencing spilling the blood of opponents. in reply to chowbok #
• @Ipstenu You must’ve picked the wrong 5 minutes to be outside, then! :) in reply to Ipstenu #
• @chowbok Do you have an example of that actually working? Because it’s not here. in reply to chowbok #
• @chowbok Nice generalization there of, uh, people making generalizations. in reply to chowbok #
• @mizmoose Ooh, seriously? Have met him before but am more inclined to fangirl at the mo. Citing 2 of his works in today’s paper. in reply to mizmoose #
• Am severely let down by wimpy storm that came thru for 5 minutes, just enough to move dirt from air to my balcony, where it is now glued. #
• Wait. That’s it? That’s all you’ve got? The storm is over now? THAT SUCKED. I DEMAND A DO-OVER. #
• Oh hey, *there’s* that thunderstorm! Nicely timed. #
• @jime60647 AMEN. Oh, don’t get me started! in reply to jime60647 #
• Also, am bitterly disappointed that promised severe thunderstorms failed to appear. Feh. #
• Reading Peter Salus’ “The Daemon, The Gnu, & The Penguin” makes me miss being able to go to LISA. http://is.gd/2k4yx #
• Cannot wait for next weekend. No homework. Can safely while away the entire 2 days on baseball and knitting/dyeing/spinning. & sleeping!! #
• Ready for the fighter jets to wrap it up and head back home, now. #
• @BaseballStone I agree. I was sad to see him leave, but hopefully the new digs will work out a little better for him, without the baggage. in reply to BaseballStone #
• On the bright side, did get 14 rows of Lily of the Valley Border done on Swallowtail last night. Nupps not so bad, actually, just slooow. #
• Nearly 3am Sat nite/Sun morning and am crashing now. Was up late for work, of course, not fun. Next time, ppl can fix their own mistakes. #
