I'm knitting the Modern Log Cabin blanket for my mother. I just realised that many many rows ag, I dropped a stitch. Is there a way to fix this without frogging half the blanket? Thanks! Oh, here's the link to the blanket: http://images.amazon.com/media/i3d/01/log_cabin.pdf |

"We don’t need your Santa Claus
Cause we’ve got Uncle Ho
No three wise bourgeois gentlemen
Or sleigh bells in the snow
Santa may wear red, but don’t believe what you see
Cause Uncle Ho distributes presents equally
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
He comes down from the North
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
all the presents he brings forth
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
He’s a jolly man they say
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Smash the state on Christmas day
That fat man he don’t understand
How his elves work
His laissez faire philosophies
Leave his workers short
Uncle Ho tunnels, when he brings your toys
And he lives with his workers in Hanoi oi! oi!
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
He comes down from the North
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
all the presents he brings forth
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
He’s a jolly man they say
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Smash the state on Christmas day
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
He comes down from the North
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
all the presents he brings forth
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
He’s a jolly man they say
Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh
Smash the state on Christmas day"

"I ruined all your Christmas joy
stomped all over your children's toys
saw your house with the lights ablaze
to crash your holiday’s the only way
I knocked that stupid virgin down
broke Joseph’s robes upon the ground
I saw his eyes from across the lawn
and oh-ho-ho, my heart was gone
Merry Christmas, I fucked your snowman
Merry Christmas, I slept with him
Merry Christmas, I fucked your snowman
Merry Christmas, I'll do it again
Your guests, they all were horrified
said the season I’d defiled
they can all just go straight to hell
I told them with one great big yell
Merry Christmas, I fucked your snowman
Merry Christmas, I slept with him
Merry Christmas, I fucked your snowman
Merry Christmas, I'll do it again
I burned down your tinseled evergreen
hit your old aunt across the knees
I’ve smashed up all your Christmas plates
for you and yours I’ve got only hate
I kissed him on his frosty mug
and he gave me a great big hug
now my heart is full of Christmas cheer
almost enough to last all the year
Merry Christmas, I fucked your snowman
Merry Christmas, I slept with him
Merry Christmas, I fucked your snowman
Merry Christmas, I'll do it again
Merry Christmas, I fucked your snowman
Merry Christmas, I slept with him
Merry Christmas, I fucked your snowman
Merry Christmas"

Baby blanket!
 I finished the baby blanket (possibly). I was thinking of doing an attached i-cord edge with the white yarn, but I don't have much time. I basically have a few spare minutes here and there today, and then a 3 hour car ride tomorrow. Do you think I should do the edge or leave it as is? |

Anticipation
Tomorrow is Christmas Morning around here since we are flying out to visit the JenFam in the afternoon. My brother and SIL are here and we will all be doing gifts together. I had so much fun putting the gifts under the tree, assembling gifts, and filling stockings. So much fun! Punk went to sleep saying "Santa is going to come when I am sleeping and the presents will be under the tree!" She is so excited about Christmas this year. She put out cookies for Santa on a special plate we bought and I put the crown and shoes - the things she asked Santa for - on the plate. She has so much loot under the tree, it really is ridiculous since we said we were going light on presents this year. WHOOPS. Tomorrow we open gifts, I bring my car in for service, we find time to pack for the trip, and take off. Happy holidays, friends. I hope each and every one of you receive everything your heart desires this week and into the New Year. I can't freaking wait for tomorrow morning. It is more exciting than when *I* was the kid!

Pedal to the medal.... if the medal is in stuck in one place.
Five miles yesterday, five today! But Google Earth has gone all flooey. So I believe I'm at 115, but have no idea where that is! Should I try for another 5 while I watch Castle, or be a responsible person and clean the living room? (Or bring up my real bike and ride AROUND the living room, cleaning up while watching Castle?) |

I brought Punk to child care this morning because I have A Lot Of Things To Do Today. It is really, really hard to get started. Sigh. ETA: I'm clearing out all of the baby/early toddler toys in preparation for the onslaught of new toys. Man, this is exhausting! My kid has STUFF in every nook and cranny of the house! AUGHHHHHHH!

So I can knit rectangles like no tomorrow, but this is my first venture into a "pattern". It's a kerchief made with Bernat Matrix (bought tons of it at Big Lots for $1 each!). I'm having trouble on it because I don't understand what it wants from me and my Google-fu is failing. comments/questions in bold italics Here are the instructions: Cast on 3 sts 1st row: (RS) knit 2nd row: Inc 1 st in first st. Inc 1 st in next st. K1 3rd row: Inc 1 st in first st. Knit to last 2 sts. Inc 1 st in next st. K1. Rep last row 28 times more. 65 sts I finished this part, but I only have 59 sts... wtf? Next row: (WS) Cast on 30 sts. WTF does this mean? Halp! This is where I'm stuck Knit to end of row. Rep last row once more. 125 sts. Knit 10 rows. Cast off knitwise (WS). what??? TIA!!! ETA: Holy crap I just got it. I had to visualize WTF they wanted me to do. I got it now :D |

Snow! New Comic! Band Stuff! Lemons! Honey! (the dog, not the food) Pajamas!
First off- SNOW!  Second- one of my favorite comics updated today and I am kind of putting off reading it so that I'm not finished reading it yet. Weird, I know. But check it out- the art is gorgeous. (I believe the artist is the same one who does Oglaf.) So I've been going back and forth with the band guys- they all seem super-nice. It looks like I'll have to get a microphone, they already have one but apparently it's not very good? And since a singer is really the only person who can technically show up with nothing more than an air supply I guess it would be a gesture of good faith on my part to get my own. But they like some of my song ideas, and I REALLY like some of their choices, so... awesome. AWESOME! My lemon tree has like, 7 lemons on it. I am thinking about making preserved lemons, anyone tried this?  Here's our tripod, mildly annoyed I keep holding up a box and making clicky noises at her, thereby interrupting her nap. And we're having a jammy day, unless anyone WANTS to get dressed and go out in the snow. (I think snow is lovely- from inside a window.) So I have to get off the computer and go clean the living room, which is infinitely more fun when everyone's clad in purple owl jammies, or tugboats, or whatever. |

I was sorting old books tonight & found the following on a torn piece of notebook paper in a French-English dictionary: _Equipment_ Box (Music) Barrels Carrots Potatoes Buckets Bullhorn Apples Cones or JumpStandards Spoons lime (for lines) flags water cups pitchers identical pieces of paper (sit-a-buck) What does it all mean? Can anyone come up with an activity which would necessitate such equipment? Current Mood:  curiousCurrent Music: Look Around You |

white skin, blue eyes, blond hair
very interesting article, by way of www.ranprieur.com, about why northern europeans are pale skinned, eyed, and haired: http://knol.google.com/k/frank-w-sweet/why-are-europeans-white-e1/k16kl3c2f2au/14#basically tying it in to vitamin d deficiency from the introduction of grains into the gulf stream warmed baltic states. i think it's fair to add that not only did pigment change but social structure also changed with the introduction of the notion of superiority. white human's hatred (fear) of all things brown and wild and its desire to control (own) it all stems from its perceived evolutionary superiority to its predecessors when it's actually a deficiency! it's almost a karmic joke (if it weren't for the nearing total destruction of it all). |

Power loss
Yesterday morning, high winds caused a power outage on my street. This somehow managed to totally reset my Westell 7500 DSL modem and wireless router. The official install process failed to work, just as it has never worked, so I had to call tech support. Since I ended up listening to about 15 minutes of pre-recorded advice that was completely irrelevant before getting to wait on hold for the helpful technician who actually called me back when my call got disconnected (Verizon Wireless's great network in action!), I will document the repair process here in case this happens again. Note, at any point, you can reset the modem back to the original state by poking the little reset button on the back with a paperclip. - First, turn the modem upside-down and note the serial number and WEP key. The serial number is the default SSID, and the WEP key is just that.
- Connect to the wireless network, or connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable.
- Visit this URL: http://192.168.1.1/verizon/redirect.htm
- Click the 'DISABLE' button. You will eventually be asked for a password. The username is 'admin' and the password is 'password'.
- The next screen will ask you to change your username and password. Change it to something besides the default. At this point, you should be able to connect to the Internet.
- Go into Wireless Settings and twiddle the settings how you want. Most likely everything you need is under Basic Security Settings.
- You will likely need to double check your firewall settings as well.
I hope that helps anyone in my situation. Naturally, if you need this advice, you probably can't get on the Internet anyway. post/read comments |
