Today's Word is:Parishables
Seen this morning on a sign announcing a film festival at a local church: "Donation: Parishables."
I can only assume that the misspelling was intended, as a cute pun. But what would be a "Parishable?" Missals, perh

The coffee shop in the law school has started a daily Barista Special (only on their signs it says "Barsita." It's a law school, not a spelling school.) All are lattes or mochas, and a 20-ouncer is only $3.15 (consider that a non-barisa special is
More Questions for Me!

Here are my questions from Rebecca. What did I get myself into?Why aren't you in the Librarians and Archivists Who Knit Ring? Do you think you're somehow better than we are? Are you against me personally being in the ring because I prefer cataloging
Feeling Peevish
Tuesday, 29 March 2005 9:57 A GMT-05
Ok, you may think I am a nasty and bitter person. And maybe I am. But there are some things that just get on my nerves (ok, a lot of things). As this blog has functioned increasingly as a sounding board for my insanity, it seems appropriate to st

I reek of kapusta. For those of you readers who are not Polish, kapusta is sauerkraut. My friend Jill insists she can't smell it, but I can. The problem with cooking kapusta i kielbasa for Easter dinner is that it stinks up the house and everythin

...and apparently, Screaming Babies. The neighbors on each side of us have screetching grandbabies in the house today. Oh joy.
It's Just Wrong

Friday is for Funny Words

Today's Word
Apocalypse
Now, that's not such a funny word on its own, but read it in this context:
"I'd love to go to Greece and see the Apocalypse."
Ah...ok...now it's funny! The sentence above was the answer to an interview question regardin
Thursday is for More Interview Questions Pour Moi
Thursday, 24 March 2005 7:29 P GMT-05
Here are some questions from the vivacious Lolly gal for me:
Silly CSI question: Who is hotter? Grissom, Warrick, Nick, or Greg? (me? Warrick hands down... HOT)
Greg does nothing for me, but I find all the other guys attractive. There is somethi
The Good Ole U.S. of A.
Thursday, 24 March 2005 1:52 P GMT-05
Rather than the underline/italicize-the-states meme, I tried this one. More visually appealing, don't you think? I pretty much have the East Coast wrapped up. It's the BIG states in the middle of the country that I need to visit.

...and more shopping!
Neal and I needed to go to Han Ah Reum (an Asian-foods supermarket chain) and while we were in Catonsville, we made a trip to Cloverhill Yarn Shop. This store, in a boring shopping center with an industrial park feel, is innoc
Tuesday is for Shopping

Neal and I spent the day out and about. This afternoon, we went shoe shopping - Neal needed sneakers and I wanted to pick up a few pairs of Birkenstocks for summer wear. Then we browsed through Barnes & Noble, where I picked up a copy of K1 an

Yup, gonna have to do the dirty deed to Mr. Lincoln again today. Poor guy is miserable. Yesterday afternoon he dragged himself over to his pile of newspapers to grunt and strain, and this morning, for some bizarre reason, dragged himself upstairs f

Friday is Funny Word Day! (formerly "Funny Word Usage Day")
Today's Word:
Authoritis
I found this word while doing research at work. It's referring to arthritis, but I like to think of it as being a malady that comes to someone who wr
Interview With the Knitter
Thursday, 17 March 2005 10:23 A GMT-05
Perhaps less-dangerous than interviewing a vampire...just watch out for those needles!
For Lolly:
1. You may never have seen an alien in Roswell, but do you believe that there is life on other planets?
2. So what was that big Girl Scout lie?
WIP it Good
Thursday, 17 March 2005 10:05 A GMT-05
I took some pics of my WIPs last night, since I know I've been remiss.
First up is the lovely Miss Ruffles, from Scarf Style, a book chock-full of cool patterns. The yarn is Plymouth Encore Worsted, and I like the way it's knitting up. I wasn't

I heard you, "Who the fudge is St. Urho?" Well, check out this link and find out.
In case you're wondering, that is me there, to the right, adjusting my breasts. This pic is ahhhh...13 years old now? Golly. My friend Kate usually ho

Suzie of The Purly Gates answered the five questions posed to her

...perhaps I shouldn't have bought Scarf Style for myself? I did save the receipt, however. I could always pass it on to a friend though; I do have one with an upcoming birthday! Sorry SP!
I cast on last night for the Misty Gardens scarf, basic
Sinus Headache, Anyone?
Monday, 14 March 2005 1:26 P GMT-05
I started taking my Allegra today, figuring I'll need it in a week or two anyway, and I'm already having sinus issues. Can't hurt. But it's not helping either. Owowowow.

Pathetic Copycat
Friday, 11 March 2005 10:16 A GMT-05
So I've read this list of things folks have done but I probably haven't on a couple blogs and am struggling to put my own together. I did find an item on Gidget's list that I have also done - eaten jellyfish. Heck, I've eaten it 3-4 times. Didn't

I'm in a bad body-image frame of mind. I wore Klaralund to work today, and while I have gotten a few compliments on the sweater, every time I see my reflection in the ladies' room mirror, I cringe. There's only so much I can blame on period bloat.

Thanks to Chris for the suggestion to check out radioio.com! Netscape Radio has a listening time limit and so I had switched from that to the new Duran CD and then to BBC Asian radio (the Bengali show is on, not that I speak the language or anything
If You Don't Like the Weather...
Tuesday, 8 March 2005 11:59 P GMT-05
...wait a few minutes and it'll change. Boy, isn't that true! Yesterday when I checked weather.com, it was a balmy 69 degrees here in Baltimore. People in shirtsleeves were eating lunch in the park outside my building. And as of this moment, Tues
