Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first. — Charles de Gaulle, President of France

Summer updates

Updates Comments Off
Aug 282009

I just realized its been a while since I made any sort of substantive update – so in the words of Inigo Montoya, “Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up”

Some summer highlights:

Tomatoes from the garden are 200% better than tomatoes from the store. I might never eat them from the store again.

Almost everyday, in my head, I thank all my friends who helped me build my garden. So now I’ll do it outside my head: Thank you!!! So very much!!!

Took a photography class with Franklin Habit at Loopy Yarns, AWESOME!

Had a house concert for Sooj which many of you came to.

On new (added) meds for my ADD which has resulted in major sleep disturbance. Its hard to concentrate with so little sleep, so its hard to evaluate the meds.

Have dyed my hair funny colors and gotten my ears re-pierced. I think I am worrying about getting old.

Fallen in love with a new (for me) tv show, Friday Night Lights. I haven’t liked a show this much since Buffy. Insert days of squeeing here. GGood stories, stong women, great characters, and lots of pretty – boys and girls and scenery, yum yum yum . . . Okay I’ll stop now before I get too out of control. ;)

Got Seanan McGuire’s new book. Just started reading it – enjoying it muchly.

Knitting is happening, lots of socks. Maybe pictures and possibly even a proto-pattern soon.

Want to make some earings – might need help with this.

My birthday is coming soon, I think I am closer to 40 than I’d like to be.

Scheduling craft and music days again, but not till 2010.

And I think that is probably enough for one post. Have to leave something for the next one!

Which is exactly what I have done for a while. I am not quite sure how much back on earth I am yet – but I thought I would mention that I am at least in orbit these days.

One of the things that has kept me away from posting is a lack of camera. I purchased a brand new one last fall, and after taking a number of great pictures of projects that I hadn’t had time to munge and post – I lost the camera. GRRRRR I am currently brainstorming ideas for posting knitting and spinning content without any actual pictures of what I am doing. I do plan on getting back here and posting more often about stuff.

I have about 8000 knitting projects on the needles, many of them seemingly close to being done. I hope by the time I get there I’ll have a way to show them off.

At this point I am not sure if anyone is even reading this anymore – But seeing as I don’t have any content of my own for today, I thought I would show off someone else’s creativity. I don’t know if you readers have ever seen what is called a “FanVid”, this is an excellent example of one.
