Today's Basket

This kitty is nearly done. He's pretty awesome looking in person. The yarn was an experiment. Sadly, it's really too expensive for routine animal work but it is sure nice - soft and a fun color combo.

Travis gets his turn in the new bed

And doesn't he kind of have his neener neener face on?

Leaving now for the burbs... looking for yarn. I have a list. Wonder if I have gas?

Amazing new world

I made my trek south and it was an adventure. First I scoped out the two yarn places - found them and got the goods. (This place is a maze of strip malls and stand alone stores and a giant mall. There are lots of streets and very few street signs and no street numbers on the stores. Before GPS, it was a horrible place to go if you didn't know exactly where you were going. Now it's a piece of cake!)

Then I stopped at Petco to get a Bolt. Travis and Betty are in for a treat.

Then on to Target. I figured out (with the help of the building manager) why Amira's vacuum keeps blowing my fuses... it's the air conditioner! I need to plug the air conditioner into a different fuse. So I got a hefty (but attractive, it is Target, after all) extension cord.

Then on to the mall. They built this mall last year and I had only read about it. I had never been in it. Or, actually, in any big mall in several decades. Holy moly rockin roly! What a different world that is. A younger, hipper world. I wandered around like ET with my eyes bugged out.

I kept stopping to take pictures of freaky things only to realize probably everyone in the world has seen these things but me. So I just walked around and pretended it was the treadmill with great visuals. It was fun.

Oh and Annie's Attic pretzels? Excellent.

Now home and I have work work to do.

Nice adventure. It was.

Thank you, Google

My neighbor from down the hall, Ann, came in this aft to catch up on last night's Mariner's game, today's trade, etc. and she said "Oh! You can do that google thing, can't you?"

She proceeded to tell me about this discussion she and husband, Ron, heard on the radio in the car this afternoon about Obama looking at some girl's ass. She wanted to see the photo.

I made her sidle up to the computer. I opened up a Chrome tab and typed "Obama looks at girl's ass" into the address bar. She was cracking up, thinking I was kidding.

The first link brought up a blog which linked to Drudge and bingo, there was the picture.

She was so impressed. I pointed out that she and Ron could do it. I keep telling them to fire up Google and let 'er rip. I don't think she ever believed me until today.

I'm guessing she and Ron are probably ass deep into some hot porn this afternoon.




Oh and I showed her the webcam. So if they haven't found the porn, maybe they are checking up on me.
