Not so great coming up as it was going down...

NOTE TO SELF:

Do not, do NOT, chew Werther's Originals while hanging your head upside down under the tub faucet to wash your hair.** You will end up with a HORRIBLE taste in your mouth, and a sensation in your nose quite like you snorted Coca-Cola up it laughing.

(Actually, since I was also drinking Coke mere moments before...it might very well be that...)

When you go to blow your nose immediately afterward to rid yourself of the burning sensation, and you discover (TMI! TMI!) that the snotty mess is suspiciously caramel colored...yeah. Let's just not do that again, shall we?

SO GROSS. SO WRONG. AAAUUURRGH.

**A previous, unposted NOTE TO SELF reads: "Do not, do NOT attempt to bend the shower head like tha-... Damn."

"The more I see of man, the more I like dogs..."

Wow.

( FUCK people. )

Like when a cat sits on your newspaper, except newspaper isn't meant for cats

Enough emotime, though.

I have a new knitting project. Mom is teaching me her pattern for washcloths. She seemed pleased that I could read it, but it's really, really basic. It's different from the plain garter squares I've done before because it's knit on the bias (i.e. from corner to corner, rather than edge to edge), and it has an edge with lace-like holes in in, so I now know how to do yarn-overs. (Not like they're hard; I just didn't know that before!) I'm using a yarn that's yellow and white...Mom called it "corn."

So I'll be knitting a bunch of washcloths for my Aunt Krista for Christmas, because she specifically said she would LOVE knit washcloths as a Christmas gift. HINT.


Also, my cat blanket is coming along...I have about 16 inches or so of length on it so far.

I had it spread out on the floor to measure the width yesterday (looks like it will be quite close to the desired 24 inches!), and Callisto quite deliberately walked over...stepped on it experimentally with one paw...and then walked onto it and made as if to plunk his fuzzy butt down. But then got distracted and left before I had to shoo him off. (Geez cat, it's not finished yet.)

I think that's a good sign.
