So I got a new order of yarn in the mail–it’s called Halloweentown (I think) and it’s from Nerd Girl Yarns.   Now, if you go to the page and look around, you’ll realize that they dye yarns in fandoms– so, a lot of their yarns are named after, say, characters or lines from Dr. Who… Read More

Movies–ALL movies, he has no particular favorites. In my memory, I only remember him NOT watching four or five movies to the end. But he does have a few favorites, movies or television shows he’ll stop anything for, stay up late for, tape and watch over and over again.    You’ve Got e-Mail Sleepless In… Read More

Saw this movie: Watched this kid play soccer: Watched these animals play with this kid: Slept in with these crapweasels: Tried to teach ZoomBoy how to make swag: Made it myself:  And watched this show on DVR: And shopped for groceries and wrote a little. It’s been sort of a busy two days! Night!

First of all, I got the picture from a FB page called 9Gags, and HERE’S THE LINK for more IT themed fun.  Go at your own risk–Tim Curry smoking a cigarette while dressed as Pennywise is pretty much the epitome of creepy.

ZoomBoy has been auditioning for EVERYTHING, and while on the one hand, ‘m damned proud of him, on the other hand, I’m remembering the old days when Chicken and Big T had different daytime destinations and every body had something different after… Read More
