I'm sorry, you said WHAT??!!

I overheard someone today, I'm not saying who because that would be mean and something I would totally do. But he came out with the statement... "global warming does not exist" What? are you kidding me? Is this what they are telling people on Fox News these days? Saying that global warming does not exist is like saying that the Holocaust didn't happen, or that Margarine is better than butter, it's just stupid.

Disclaimer: this statement comes from someone who also believes that immigrants are the cause for his wife's inability to receive Social Security, and not because she never worked. So already his mind has clearly gone.

We are currently working to rectify this problem.

Happy Zombie Day!

Happy zombie day to everyone, it's the day the J-man rose from the dead and cried out for more brains. We're just hangin' here on the couch watching some bio-pics about the J-man's first days back from the dead. Movies like Dawn of the Dead, Shawn of the Dead, Resident Evil 1 and 2, 28 days later... you get the picture. Later I think we'll play some Gi-tar Hero, few know this, but the J-man is metal.



Throwing up the horns for zombie day, you go J-man.

What a bad ass.

Disclaimer: I'm an athiest, so deal with it

This in kinda cool

Down at the Government Center in downtown Boston, there is a Starbucks, with this above its door...



I love it, but I don't get it, I can only assume that this kettle was here long before the Starbucks, 1. because Starbucks is not that cool, and 2. I saw this sign off to the left and slightly hidden that suggests that this is a relic from Boston's history.

Gi-tar Hero

(it must be pronounced with a southern flavour, it make it that much better.)

Anyway, Will went out in Tuesday, right when the EB Games store opened to obtain Guitar Hero and two guitars. And the fun just keeps on coming.





This is us rocking out with our cocks out (really, what does that mean?) can you see I have a little bit of the devil in my eyes, I must be playing some of that rock-n-roll all of the kids are listening to.

I have one beef with this game, did they HAVE to put Freebird on the playlist? Really... I hate that song, one might say I hate it with a white hot hate, and that's like a lot!

Sunshine yarnaholic

As an aside. I met Dani of Sunshine Yarns, she and Lucy at Minds Eye are my primary dealers in my sock addiction. It just costs less than crack and doesn't make you ugly.

I'm a very shy person, and anyone who knows, me knows this. I always make bad first impressions, and metting Dani was no different, I was like "it's nice to meet you, I love your yarn" *weak smile slowly creeping onto my face*.

It was like meeting a celebrity. She really does dye some of the most beautiful sock yarns ever. Her last posting was of the Harry Potter flavor, I was only able to come away with her new "Phoenix" colour. (I had Hedwig and all of the dragons, now I'm kicking myself for not getting the "Dark Forest") it was yummy. But trying to get her Griffindor was much like trying to get... I have no analogy, but it was like trying to get something that is very hard to get.

So thank you Dani for meeting up with me. It was great, even if I am pretty lame.

Canyon socks DONE!

Okay, they've been done for about 2 weeks, but I'm really lazy on weekends.





My first socks with cables, this deserved a mango lassi. Next I tink I'll try a magic loop sock.

FIBER: hand died sock yarn from Minds Eye Yarn in "Canyon" I renamed it officially.

I think Miss Bronte feels left out

I'm been lavishing attention on Akira and leaving Mis B. out, I know she reads this blog while I'm at work and has remarked that I do not talk about her enough. What can I say, she's a cat, what do cats do? they lick themselves and occasionally do something of interest, like fall into the toilet (I hate when she does that). Miss Bronte, this is for you.



It was her glamour shot, cost me an arm and a leg at the mall, and she wouldn't even sit still... bitch.

My Dog, House MD

A little while ago our dog Akira hurt his leg, we can only suspect that it was during a 3am chasing of the kitty that he did this. He is fine by the way, nothing torn or costin us several thousand dollars to fix. But I think now he pulls out the gimpy limp to get attention when the big baby who is pampered 24/7 feels he needs just a little more attention than normal. Since this doesn't have video, here is an artist's rendition of how he walks.



Pretty sad huh? For a while I was afraid he was going to become hooked on Vicodin and have a sour disposition, but he would make for great TV viewing every Tuesday.
