Luckily, there’s fiber. Always fiber.

Yeah. Me too.
Ever have one of those days where you let the dirty dishes pile up in the sink because you lack the motivation to empty the dishwasher, only to realize, when you finally do muster up the motivation, that the dishwasher is halfway full of dirty dishes?

Drying my sweaters next to the window might not be the best idea.
My idea of Canada may or may not reflect reality.
This morning I had a dream of driving across the vast Canadian prairie to the Yarn Harlot‘s house for tea. She showed me the BGH* under her house, which, in my dream, was actually in one of the kids’ bedrooms and looked kind of like the pit at ground zero. (Seriously, it was enormous. There was even a crane in there.) After she showed me around, we walked across the prairie to an Indian restaurant near her house where we dined on fragrant Indian cuisine with the proprietress of the restaurant, a beautiful Indian woman in colorful sari and with a jeweled bindi on her forehead. Afterward, the Yarn Harlot and I walked back to her house. I woke up wondering what had happened to the city of Toronto.

Feeling Nostalgic
Memories are fun! Getting old? Not so much. This video, from the year I learned how to play trombone, the year I became a band geek, is the Arcadia Band Review in November, 1990. How can this be 19 years ago?
I am surprised by the complete and utter awesomeness of our band. Seriously, we’re darn good!
Thanks, Ren (fellow female brass player) for posting this on your blog!
Wednesday Morning Link Roundup
Having a sick kid the last few days has given me an excuse to stay home, get the house back in order, sneak in some knitting, and get caught up on my NaNo. Yes, I could have done all those things yesterday, but did I? No. I surfed the internet instead.
This cat is stubborn. Very very stubborn.
Out and about and can’t decide where to pull in and grab a bite to eat? This handy dandy flowchart will help you out.
Bored with cleaning up the kids’ toys? (Lord knows I am!) Try this instead.
Will somebody please pull these people over and take away their Photoshop license? Seriously.
This is cool, but also depressing in a way.
It’s November. That’s right, NOVEMBER!!
Hey, it’s November already. Yes, yes it is. I know the last couple of weeks in October were kind of a blur, but you’ll just have to accept that time is slipping away and that the holiday season is fast approaching. The pumpkins-turned-Jack-o-lanterns are already withering away.
And now, here you are in November, with NaNoWriMo in full swing and only 53 days to finish all your Christmas knitting. Just what do you think you’re doing , casting on a project for yourself?

TV Fall Season 2009: It doesn’t suck!
Ah, Fall, my favorite time of year. With the cooler weather finally starting to set in, my fancy has turned to thoughts of big ol’ wooly hand knits and television has risen, a phoenix, from the ashes of endless summer reruns. The official Fall season of TV started last week, and you know what? It doesn’t suck this year!
I’m watching Community, the comedy about 13th grade (aka community college). I went to two(!) community colleges, so I find this show particularly funny.
Vodpod videos no longer available.Then there’s Modern Family, probably the funniest show since Friends and Will & Grace, about three families. You’ve got your traditional mom/dad/3 kids family, the older step-dad/much younger mom/1 kid family, and the gay guy couple with an adopted baby. Funny, funny stuff, and the best show I’ve seen on TV since Pushing Daisies’ first year. (Damn you ABC for canceling Pushing Daisies!!!!)
Vodpod videos no longer available.In the drama category, I’ve been very excited about the very excellent Flash Forward, the show that asks how would you live your life if you knew what you’d be doing 6 months from now.
And lastly, another drama, Eastwick. To be honest, I wonder how long they can keep this show going. Remember how Desperate Housewives was really good for about 2 seasons and then it started going downhill? Well, we’ll see how they do with this one.
Even Heroes didn’t suck (for the first time in 2 years)!
Vodpod videos no longer available.What shows on the teevee machine will keep you company while you knit your way into cooler weather?
Crank.
To the guy behind me in line at Target:
Who, exactly, were you trying to impress with that cologne you were wearing? Your lovely wife? Or perhaps it was your 6 small children (ranging in ages between 7 and 9 months)? Frankly, I was not impressed, nor, I’m sure, were any of the other shoppers in Target yesterday afternoon at 4 pm. I, for one, found it incredibly difficult to breathe with you standing right behind me, a mere cart’s length away. You see, strong fragrances, such as the one that rolled off of you like a dense fog, tend to inflame my asthma. Further, I’m quite confident that I was not the only asthmatic shopping at Target on a busy Saturday afternoon. Please just consider others before you dump an entire bottle of cheap-ass cologne on your head. Thanks.

PS: I mean, seriously. Did you think you were going clubbing or something? WTF? There’s a time and a place for cologne and it sure as hell isn’t shopping at Target on a goddamn Saturday afternoon with your family. Damn.
