Rocking Doozer’s World

Ooh boy, I’m going to have to change the name of this blog to “We Interrupt This Knitting Blog to Bring You Pictures of Cats”. And we’ll have Yakity Sax playing in the background. Sorry, but there is news.

When Persi left with my TAS a couple of weeks ago some of Doozer’s behavioral issues came back. He started chewing up boxes again. He started stalking and biting the kids (and me!) again. After some thought, we realized that perhaps what he really needed is a companion–another kitty to chase and bite. So, we contacted the rescue group that got us Doozer and last week we met this girl:

And today we brought her home! Meet Lolly:

She’s about 4 months old and likes to watch TV and pounce on things. Doozer is, shall we say, rather less than thrilled. But we think that once he gets used to the idea they’ll get along smashingly!

Whiskers on Wednesday

As promised, pictures of Persi in The Sweater. [ravelry]

She was confused by it and would not sit still for a photo.

I think she was trying to step out of it, but she is old and decrepit and unable lift her legs that high. So she just kept walking around and around in circles until we took it off of her. She also entangled herself in it and nearly injured herself when she jumped down from the bed. Oh well. I think The Sweater is destined for my dad’s dog, Maggie McShaggy, who needs a sweater to remind her who is the omega dog.

Weird Searches Land Here Friday

People use internet searches for weird stuff. Inexplicably, some of those weird searches end up here. For example, this week, the following web searches ended up here.

i like to pee myself
i am funny fish
people that lungcancer effed
knitting retard
awsome rorschach pics

I can’t help but think that Mr. (or Ms!) Iliketopeemyself must have been sorely disappointed with what they found here.

A Realization

So, you know that woman you occasionally see in the supermarket? The one who starts to babble about random personal issues if you accidently make eye contact with her? Well, I’m her. So watch out.

An Announcement

I give up! This morning I woke up and decided I’m giving up knitting forever! Seriously, I just cannot take it any more. My projects are all lame and I suck at it. The frustration of knitting is not worth it anymore, so I am auctioning off all my stash on Ebay and canceling my Ravelry account. This is my last blog post so please leave a comment if you are interested in buying the knitting interrupted domain.

That is all.

Oh, and happy 1st of April, y’all!
