rosesarered23:You have been targeted by the infamous band of creatures known as Birthday Kittens. They are hunting you down even as we speak, intent on delivering their deadly cargo of cake and punch to you, and they will not stop until you either help yourself to some or ...uhm... chase after them with knife and fork?
Either way, hope you have a good birthday. *hugs*
So I'm reading the BrooklynTweed nlog archives, and the first thought runs through me head:
"I am so envious. He has all this time to make all of these cool things. Wow."
Then I briefly get mad over my own time management and for some reason think about Kim Possible.
Then I unwind with a cup of tea and knit my latest project, Branching Out, a simple lace scarf that I'm doing for my sister, done in Pattons Classic Wool [it was on sale dammit!!]. Only five pattern rows and it is going quicker than I expected. Started Wenesday and it seems almost done.

At the moment, I'm in MFF, kinda enjoying myself, for the main reason that I am still overwhelmed at the entire experience. Tomorrow's bound to get better, unless there's some strange evil plot to take over the world.
Fortunately, there's a few Doctors floating around here, along with a Sailor Mars and Moon. No, I'm not joking. Yes, I'll supply photos. Sheesh.
Anywho, since my [semi]rp character is a moose,
dineegla thought it would be a good idea to get here and get my toes a bit damper into the pool.Eh, it's something. I'm seeing artists that I've followed for a while and already got a few things, like a couple of prints from
trufflehog and a quick charature sketch from a random artist. Might get a nametag, who knows.So now, I'm just enjoying the time I have left here. Should be leaving on Monday, since Mom wants me back for Thanksgiving. :( Oh well...

I'm here with rosesarered23, on State and Randolph, in Argo Tea shop, and having a gay ol' time. Chicago is flirting with me shamelessly and I am letting it show it's charms, which are indeed formidable.
Afterwards we're off to Millenium Park, so if you see a guy in a fedora and a red fleece coat, say hi. :)
Anywho, last night it was a hoot with
rosesarered23 [Mariel], eureka00 [Erika], and calisrue [Stephen] as we went to Navy Pier for the sightseeing. The trip itself is worth mentioning: Mariel and I went for train for the first time ever, and it was freaky. Was expecting something out of Christie novel [go into tunnel then murdered body appears afterwards], but Union Station was COOL! So big and easy to get lost in. There we met with the other two and took a taxi to the Pier for picture taking and hijinxs. Hijinxs include getting on the ferris wheel, taking photos of the skyline, and walking the boardwalk. Afterwards we had this [huge] dinner from Charlie's Ale House, where I got this very good chicken pot pie [with puff pastry crust] and a nice ale to drink. Afterwards we got Ben&Jerry's for some dessert and spent the rest of the time looking around, looking at the Gardens in the Pier mall, taking various photos, and just enjoying ourselves. We then went to the surrounding parks [nice fountain!] and walked a few blocks around before we got into another taxi and went back to the Station. Said goodbye to Erika and Stephen, and Mariel took me to see the Sears Tower before we went back home.Today I got up rather early to go to church [and it was a very good service, though a bit quick]. Afterwards we went to a breakfast buffet for some brunch and then went shopping afterwards.
Hopefully I'll be able to go to the Millenium Park or to the Art Gallery or to some other place. Who knows. :D

"I am Creation," the lady said, her chiffon gown echoing her sweet birdsong. "I am the Beginner, the Inspiration, the Spark."
"And we wish to make a deal with you," they said in unison.
At the moment, I am here, awaiting for my stomach to be settled. I spent an amazing time at a local restaurant/diner by the name of Omega, which had me very nicely welcomed in with rich coffee and a nice take on Eggs Benedict [lox instead of ham and capers in sauce]. AND they also gave you a complimentary bowl of fruit and a small slice of coffeecake. Sheer delish.
Today, I'm a bit indecisive what to do. The hosts are a bit miffed at the fact they won't be in today, so I'm kinda wondering if I should get some sightseeing under my belt...

Suburban Jungle, a comic that I've been religiously following for years is over. Last comic is today. I will miss it.
At least the comicker [is that even a word?] has another one he'll probably be doing. I'm keeping that one open to any other spots.
So, farewell good comic. 'Twas fun while it lasted, but all good things must come to an end...

Anywho, this lil' hat is from the first JoeyHat I did. I looked at it, and thought, 'It needs reshaping." so I frogged it, but I was supposed to redo the shaping, but I lost track and before I knew it, it was completely frogged. Damn.
But I prevailed! I did gauge [5 1/2 stitches on US6] and borrowed a pattern from The Opinioned Knitter. Did it top down and added stripes along the way [I used the leftover yarn from the Joey Hat 4] Used kitchener rib bind off for the edge.
It needs a light blocking, maybe steaming, dunno. What say you?
- Mood: calm
[Edit: It just occured to me, Dracula raises from the dead many more times than zombies do. Why d'ya think there are so many Castlevania games?]
Have no clue how many hats I've knitted. No clue at all.

Right now, I'm listening to the Ultra Lounge Christmas Cocktails CD. All that is missing is the cold. *glares at the short-wearing weather status*
Three more days until my trip to Chicago! Anyone gonna glomp me when I get off the bus station? ;)

I have a digital camera, so request a picture!
You can request anything you want (within reason people... no nudity): a picture of something in my house, in my life, in my neighborhood, anything!.
I will either post a picture that I already have, or I will take a new one.
...and go!
...and all that is, all what was, and all that will be shall balance on the point of a sword...

I feel extremely at edge.
I'm feeling this air of anticipation, of excitement.
Like the whole world is waiting with baited breath.
Something will happen. I'm sure of it.
I havn't felt like this since Mom got approved for Dad's benefits...
Secondly, photos of the kids...well, most of them. The batteries gave out before I could get pics of Gloria's family. :(

Hey folks. Hope you guys had a smashin' Halloween. Mine was a change of pace, because today was Illiana's 9th birthday party.
Nine years old. My how the time flies.
As all of you know, I usually spend my Halloween with Sam and Angie. But not this year, thank the gods. This time I'm spending a weekend at Lisa's and partying with cake and soda [All family members are exempt from the BirthdayKittens].
I didn't arrive in costume, one of a few, but all of the kids [invited and family] wore costumes and I gave out the candy [I was asked to mind the door].
Dunno what will happen tomorrow. As always.
