  • I have stared temptation in the face. I have laughed in said face. I declined purchasing Elspeth Lavold Silky Wool at 40% off. Oh yes. I did.

  • Lamest thing I said today: "Just call me Kiminy Cricket, the minder of your conscience." To my boss. Is it 6:00 pm yet?

  • Ok, I have been tagged by orangepoppy. 10 Years Ago: Let's see, that was...1995? I was living in Luverne, MN writing an anti-Redneck comic strip. Unsurprisingly, my audience was quite small. 5 Years Ago: Upgrade! I am …

  • Ugh, I hate teal. And teal hates me. Teal has plagued me for years. Ever since 1998. I had a teal car. To make things worse, it was a Ford Festiva. *waits for the laughter to die down* I browse a lot of knitting websi…

  • Kim's Trip to the Baltimore Aquarium Warning: Many pictures. Most bad. You can click on the pictures to make them bigger. If you want to. Hello, and welcome to my visual journey through the mean streets of Baltimore as…

  • Thank you all for your kind, pro-one blog comments :) Now, sweater news. I am 4 cm away from casting off for the armholes and doing the raglan shaping and guess what. Guess. My gauge is off. Way off. Like, it is 3 (ma…

  • I have totally forgotten to tell you, the Annoying Guy Who Likes Harry Potter is leaving! Yes! I know! His last day is September 1st. Now, if only Annoying Guy with Who Smells Crabcakes would leave...

  • What do you guys think of the idea of me splitting up my blog into a Life Blog and a Knitting Blog? I feel like I'm half-assing it for two different audiences. Like, the readers who come here for my acerbic commentary on…

  • Now I know I said I would take a break from sweaters, but this one has been calling out to me, and I have the yarn for it in my stash (plus my current project, the ruffly scarf, bores me to tears): This is "Cherie" fr…

  • Pretend you are listening to the music from "2001: A Space Odyssey." Bommmm Bommmmm BOM BOMMMMMM! dundundundundundun BOM BOMMMMMMMMMMM! And here's another shot. I'm thinking real hard in it. Also, I am in front o…

  • Two of my more annoying co-workers just came up for the sole purpose, I believe, of having a whine-off in front of me. One laid his head on my desk and banged it with his fist, the other leaned back and covered his eyes.…

  • Oh. Mah. Gawd. I finished knitting Kyoto. Only took me, what, three months? Anyway, I still need to block the final sleeve and the collar and sew it all together, but fuck, yay! I promise, I will post pics of the compl…

  • It's officially a sickness now... "I'm fucking high and look at my car, dude!" "I'm a princess, damnit. Look, I just had this baby hung, on a whim." "I'm Bai Ling. I date the guy below me. He's on the bottom, fo…

  • Only Human A Dark Fairy Tale Once upon a time there was a girl named Sissy. Sissy was rather plain, unimaginative, and not very well-liked. She didn't like being this way, but such is life sometimes. On a regular d…

  • Kim Office Injustice #2,645 Coworker (Chinese, and I’m not just saying it to say it. It’s pertinent, dammit.) on South Korean Cloning Scientists: "I figured they would have just cloned kimchi or something." I rolled …

  • Kim's Adventures within an Asian Food Festival. There were lots of people. Lots of singing. Dancing. These are Thai dancing girls. God, they get younger and younger. Real shame. Joking! Totally joking! Ser…

  • I need to get rid of my mish mash yarn. You know, that yarn you buy when you have no impulse control? Like, maybe it was a good idea at the time, and the price was right, or whatever, but now you're looking at that yarn …
