posted 17 November 05 & filed under lots of links, spinning

two of my favorite jokes ever, proving the forever immaturity of my mind:

~ what’s the color of a burp? burple.
~ where do generals keep their armies? up their sleevies.

here’s some one photo for now, showing my mad spinning skillz, while i indeed play catchup to work, school, swap knitting, emails, laundry, and the such – i started thinking what pics to post and man, there’s too many. tomorrow for sure for sure i’m returning the wheel, so i figure i’ll do some last spinning tonight, and i’ll post a whole slew of pics this weekend. for now, this one sums up how i feel about my handspuns, and yes that entire basket is filled with them.

too many good links out there:

~ ten dollar sale for threadless tees, very tempting.
~ i’m determined to finally this year go to l.a.’s own bazaar bizarre..
~ especially now that i know jill bliss will be there. i love her stuff, and i’m liking a lot her new 2006 calendar (can you believe it’s time to already be thinking about 2006 calendars!?)
~ one day, i too will have a secret room [via absinthe knits]
~ for you book and techie lovers, check out the internet archive’s new open library, very very cool. try turning the page – it uses AJAX (for coding, not cleaning) to make it look so purty.

and lastly, a question regarding hair color: (more of the) blonde or platinum?

wow! all those beautiful skeins! they look well spun and squishy soft. i want to reach into the screen and squeeze them.

what do you think of the rose? will you be able to give it back?

mmm… persimmons.

those skeins are lovely, and i definately think platinum. and btw, ive already gotten 3 threadless shirts. i couldnt resist. what stinks is they are right down the block from me, but i still have to have it shipped, so im waiting and waiting!

Wow. You have been busy. Um, can you pass some of that candy corn? ;)

Go for platinum…why not?

Go Platinum… Always good for a change in pace. (says the one to chicken to have her hair highlighted)

Wow, I love the new hanks. Especially the pink and white one. So much fun.

Hope you have a beautiful Thanksgiving.

ooh! Platinum would be nice :). I love Threadless. I might take advantage of thier sale.

Your spinning looks fantastic, but I always say that (It’s true, though). Have a good weekend!
