There are some things that you’d think I would burst if I didn’t mention. And then I go and do something like sit on the news for a month or more. I guess that’s just the way I roll….I tend to try and downplay all the pretty little grace notes that pepper my life. That […]
There is a reason why we buy a Weekend Pass to the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. It’s because we’re never quite sure when we’re going to get there. Sure, it’s an expensive insurance policy, but it’s better than not being able to go because you didn’t buy a ticket for a specific day. Plus, […]
Totally not the picture Mike thought I was taking… #calgaryexpo
Lost: One (1) sock knitting mojo. If found, please return thisaway. In the meantime, you’ll likely see me over here spinning away * and knitting frantically on shawl/ettes **. Maybe I just need more really nice self-striping sock yarn. * ITW Call Box – 50/30/20 Alpaca/Merino/Silk, half of 8.5 oz ** Quaker Yarn […]
I made yarn! I told you I was working on content! For reference’s sake, here is what I started with: December 2013 Fiber Club Shipment from FatCatKnits, Mambo and Tango on Polwarth (5oz total). I did not take the photos – they are the inventory shots from Ginny’s website. I’m simply including them as a […]
I know, I know…lots of videos lately. I’m working on getting some actual content, really – I am! At any rate, Game of Thrones has started its new season (no, I haven’t seen it yet), so I figured I’d share this little gem that I found on (you guessed it) YouTube 🙂

The Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo will be taking place at our Stampede grounds from April 24th through April 27th. The Husbeast and I have weekend tickets purchased and will be going to say hi to friends and get a good […]
Games you can play while you watch this: 1. Name the era / realize when the era changes 2. Name that tuning (also: count the groping for the slide, shifting of feet for pedals) 3. How many of those songs did you you (or someone you know) spend hours learning on a fake, plastic guitar […]
I found this little gem on Reddit. The artist’s name is Kawehi and while she doesn’t exactly have Cobain’s growls and distortion, she has her own flair. I’ll totally overlook the use of the auto-tune-like filter she’s using on her voice as it lends extra atmosphere. TCS – Robot Heart: Heart-Shaped Box – Nirvana (covered […]
Ye Olde Internal Wurlitzer has started playing Danse Macabre, composed by Camille Saint-Saens, arranged by Liszt/Horowitz. This one gets in your head and whirls around at a breakneck pace until you’re just on the edge of dizzy. And then good luck getting it out of your head for the rest of the day. You’re welcome.
