Scarves accepted! Now I just need to mail them off.

Come at me, bro!

(I love this pattern so hard. I now have an overwhelming need for a personal army of cephalopods.)

Suddenly, octopus:


More arms = more hugs!

Site is up for me. This is not looking pretty for anyone...

My apartment smells like delicious espresso brownies, yum. I also have a pan of espresso brownies to explain the delicious smell. OM NOM NOM NOM

I was more distracted by the lack of a comma in the phrase "suck that psychologist"... My mistake there, I've been up since 6am to move the store's stock around on the shop floor. I'm a little blarrrrrg at the moment. It's ok, I've got the maturity of a 12-year old and was quick to spot t...

Uh, guys? I think Bad Ideas Bear has been stalking me for the last few years...

Evil Jim will be bi-winning when I finally finish his Desert Bus craft pack. 2011, Y U NO GIVE ME TIME TO CRAFT FOR EVIL JIM?!

Okay, so I'm lucky enough to always end up with good nurses. . . and my veins are rather large. . . but still, you shouldn't expect weird experiences like that, merely be aware of their possibility, right? True, but the bad experiences (whether yours or someone else's) tend to stick in the mind. Ad...

Nice timing, I just gave blood this morning. Almost up to 50 donations - gold donor card, here I come! I was wondering why metcarfre's question list looked wrong, but it looks like that's the American list. The Canadian list adds the phrase "since 1977 have you..." to the beginning of most...

Canada is nothing BUT space! Big, empty space, except for the bits that are filled with mosquitoes and black flies.

I haven't needle felted before (just felted some knitted fabric for a purse), but I have the feeling that the too fuzzy problem could be fixed by more needle stabbing. Other than that, I'll third the suggestion for asking Tally.

I like the cuttlefish!

Dazzla, it's my first Expo/Con too! What kind of things are you looking for, LRR-related or just things to see?

I'll probably be the one looking out of place and knitting in a corner if you feel like saying hi.

Rocket, you're actually in the better of two countries for this situation. It's a blanket generalization, but the cost of shipping a parcel to a Canadian address from the US (via the US postal system) is usually equal or less than the cost of sending the same parcel to the same address within Canada...

Loving my home carbonator, I've had it for a month and being able to make fizzy water at home is still exciting (Sodastream Genesis, if anyone is wondering). Qualifying for 100% of my accountability bonus at work is pretty damn win, hooray for money! Also, I finished this today ( Laminaria ): http:/...

Sharkleen was hilarious. Where did you get the metroid cap from? Or the design to knit the hat from? http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2579/4086102105_3d8b421c03_d.jpg It was a Desert Bus craft-along item from 2009. I pretty much made the pattern up as I went along (basic hat pattern, three crocheted ...

Yes. So very yes.

Also, how stoked is Graham to be hosting a panel right before Maurice LaMarche's panel?

Aubergine and I began dating 4 years ago today.

D'awwww, congratulations to both of you! I tried to get you the Rapture as a gift, but it never showed up. I blame Canada Post.

Wishing you both many more happy years!

Hmph. I had a Ph.D. before it was cool. <adjust glasses> [/hipster] 8) (Nope, can't keep a straight face for that one.) Meanwhile, good on you all for your continuing edjumacation. It's lots of fun, except for the bits that suck. Fun fact: white lab coat + black turtleneck + one red pin on each lab ...

The course I am attending in Oklahoma is pretty win. Very useful information, and well organized. Hooray for personal development funds!

Sticks and string, Gunner. That's all it takes.

I have plans, but nothing submitted for approval yet.

Sorry for the delay, I pm'd you an answer!

Drinnik, that's so awesome you almost need theme music to start up as you walk away after that line (or sunglasses, for emphasis. YEAAAAAAHHHH!). You know what else is awesome? http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5102/5667592753_6797549e10_d.jpg I'm going to see LRR in person! Maybe some other people wil...
