I’ve put up a bunch of photos I had scanned a few months ago. There are several different styles of images, although most of them feature people.

Yea! Boo. Boo. Yea! Yea!
Last night I went to Neo’s with Hannah et al. I danced for 4 hours, and I have smoke-machine boogs.
Today I got my computer back from the Apple store, along with an apology and a $15 iTunes gift card. Great. I wasn’t going to tell them that I really didn’t use iTunes, that I actually illegally download everything I have …
I also found out that Abbott won’t be needing my services. The cost difference between having me update the website remotely and having Creative Services do it onsite is nil. Fuck.
Bah. Anyway, I have my computer back, and my plan for tomorrow is preparing some new photos for the gallery. Stay tuned.
I’m off to a grill-out.
Look! Look!
I’ve been taught how to upload photos to my gallery, so I’ve added some photos I took at my friend Stephanie’s wedding last summer. Go, look.
Now I just need to get my computer back from the Apple store, unpack my scanner, and there will be a multitude of images for your perusal.
I’m off to the MCA to oogle art with Emma. Then I’ll come home, take a nap, go see some rock and roll, then go to a club to dance New Wave. Notjob is treating me right.
A Brief Apology to Jason’s Ribcage
Hillary, the new patron saint of superfurry 13-year-old cats, came and decided to take the cat!
The cat has a new home with Hillary and her boyfriend, who will spend the day hanging out with her.
Let’s all take the time to remember the cat.
Ok, now, on with the show! Let’s remember, cats are for outside.
All of the tee shirts I purchased at the thrift store yesterday were too small for Jason. They all happen to fit me to a … um … a T. Ah well. Sorry,
there.
Woo! The cat has a new loving owner! I’m guilt free!

Goodwill hunting
When your boyfriend packes and moves all of his clothes to Champaign, then drives back to Chicago, one wonders how he’ll dress himself.
Basically, he has two options. He can pick clothes from the pile of discarded clothes he had left to give to Goodwill. He can also purchase new clothes.
Having done both, he also can ask his supercool sig.oth. to go to the thrift store and find some neat t-shirts. Unfortunately, he is not a big fat guy, which means he doesn’t get these:
On the upside, he does get this:
I love notwork
Yesterday was wholly satisfying. While all of you were at work, I was puttering around Wicker Park buying guacaomle makings, and lazing about reading. Last night a bunch of us met up at Cleo’s to eat a very specific part of the chicken, the fabled wing.
Today, I plan on doing about the same thing. Someone is coming by to see the cat (please, please, please let her take the cat), and there’s going to be a showing of Party Girl tonight, but other than that, I plan on reading in the sun, going to the thrift store, and making chocolate chip cookies.
Oh, and Gina, thanks for the tip – I bought some Biosilk yesterday at Target, and already my hair is more luxurious and shiny.
Master Knitter Level 1 Submission Critique
I got my submission back!
No drumroll required – I didn’t pass outright. Most people don’t, so I’m not going to spend time moping about that. Most of my swatches passed, with the exception of the moss stitch (too holey), the lifted increase, the SSK, the YO SSK, and one of the cables. They weren’t thrilled with my blocking, but hey, neither was I.
I have to resubmit most of the questions – apparently I totally failed to answer some of the questions correctly. This is the part I stink at. I’ve never been good at writing succinct answers.
As for my blocking report, I seem to have used absolutely incorrect information. Yeah. Totally wrong. Cotton gets stronger when wet, I’ve learned, not weaker, as the resource I used says.
So mostly I need to get better at researching stupid nuance-y bits of information that I have a much more innate ability to understand but cannot put into words.
Generally, though, I’m pleased that I am on my way to being a Master knitter, and happy at how much I’ve learned thus far.
Moving on up to the SSE side
Jason and I have finally moved. Uhhh, I mean, we’re still hanging out in Chicago RIGHT NOW, but all of our stuff is in Champaign.
It took two days, and a million pounds of belongings. Luckily, we had Anton for the first bit. I’m really tired, and really smelly, but we’ve succesfully completed what ought to be the hardest part of moving in together: moving in together.
Now I just need to get my computer back, get interslice for the new place (um, and electricity and water), find the cat a home, unpack, and start learning how to be a hot librarian.
The cat saga
This is what it has come down to: a Craigslist plea. Even though the cat is ever-cute, I’m determined to find her a new home.
