If you give them cuffs, they should fit bottles too.
Evidently the tabs on MHL cans are not similarly situated w/r/2 the can design. Fascinating. So much to learn about the high life.. . .

Miss Pronounce
- epitome (ep-ih-tome)
- chaos (chouse)
- chihuahua (chih-hoo-a-hoo-a)
- macabre (mackaber)
- devour (d'vore)
Mostly learned through reading and not realizing that they were the same word that I'd heard pronounced. I still screw up the last two.
There are more. There was a good one the other day that I forget now.

Probably the last 70-degree day in Nebraska this year (today, Dodge St.):
The Slowdown floor, during the Minabirds' debut (last week):
DMC et al. watching JB (Empty Room, a few weeks ago):
More Empty Room (same night):
Seatbelt (Country Squire, September sometime).
Sunny Day Back Porch (Sept.):
and let's not forget these good times (09/05/09):
I'm still working on pictures of the scooter. It's cold now.
(a later note: the pictures are really better if you click on & embiggen them)

The NYT on Women at War
Here. "Like many commanders who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan, [Col. Burt K. Thompson] said that women have ended the debate over their role by their performance."

the country squire
My borrowed wheels, thanks to NPW and my own busted wheels:
The gas gauge is broken, the gear shift points to N when it should point to D, things are a little sticky, and there's a trick to getting the key in the ignition.
And this is the hole in the dashboard where I'm convinced an animal lives:
But she plays Superhits 99.9 KGOR just fine and when I'm in her, I own the road.

DMB+MR 5/24/09
DMB & MR (got married and) received some nuptial napkins (I hope I'm not ruining the surprise here people) on Sunday.
A few notable new design elements for ACMcS Napkins Co. include: one set/different fabrics (this one is my favorite);
color-coordinated thread (this is a lemon yellow, tho it appears white);
the doubled hemline;
and (a new skill and part of the reason for dreaming up the doubled hemline), attempts at mitered corners.
Here's an member of an older set I've been visiting in Boston for the past few days:
Hand-sewn, wider hems, and brains!

six years in the making
No real excuses for the time it took, but at least it's done: voila, Mark & Amy's wedding quilt.
It's a quilt based on Hegel's philosophy (of course). Here's the diagram: link.
Click on the timestamp of this post for more pictures.
The System of the Universe:
Philosophy of the Classical Antiquity: the Ancient Greeks (apparently I didn't take photos of the rest of the Philosophy of the Classical Antiquity):
Detail where I succumbed to embroidery. I now note there's an M (upside down) right there.
World History:
The Judgment:
The Syllogism:
The title:
Wouldn't rotate for some reason:
Wedding date (yes, 5 years ago):
The quilt back, kind of wrinkly, but done, anyway:

I just found this out
Protestants believe in saints, but they believe that the way that the Catholics pray to them and request their interceding assistance is necromancy.

Whoops!
I forgot the obligatory picture of Lulu. This one was about how tiny she can roll up, but she unrolled a bit right before I took the picture.

too long
For some reason I have stopped taking photos and posting to this blog. So I will now attempt to rectify that. I like photos. I should take them. So here are a few from the past few weeks in reverse chronological order.
I made this hat for one of my colleagues at work. It is a great, rich brown color and I can't remember any more details than that. It is all ribs (k3, p2) has a cool decreasing sequence not particularly evident here but clear in the pictures with the pattern. Here's the pattern.
This past weekend, MLKJDay, and Inauguration Day were spent with my brother, his wife, and their dog. Once again, few photos were taken, but here's my brother with his wovel.
LTM in his Xmas apron. The apron was constructed according to this terrific pattern. The ties are adjustable so it should fit all manner of folks. I have no idea where the fabric is from--I just found it in one of my overflowing tubs. The green is a heavyweight and the blue/white used to be a tablecloth. Now it comprises the tie and the somewhat haphazard decorative patches.
Here, cutting up the best duck I've ever eaten.
Two weekends ago, SAH (I think those are her initials? hmm, can't remember), ARP and I attended the Benson Bunnies/Omaha North Vikings high school basketball game. The Bunnies and the Vikings are big rivals, I'm told. The Bunnies did well in the first quarter, and although their play deteriorated a lot in the following 3, they still managed to pull out a win. No doubt, I am obsessed with the fact that they are called the Bunnies. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of the t-shirts that said, in scary font, BEWARE THE HARE.
The Runnin' Rabbits:
Bunny Pride:
SAH and ARP:
The tough-guy strangely-dressed-like-Rocky Bunny mascot:
Home of the Bunnies:
My brother's Xmas present. The pattern, modified in length and width for a tall, broad-shouldered guy, is Elizabeth Zimmermann's Ribwarmer. The yarn is Paton's Classic Wool Aran. This is the first time I've knitted an attached i-cord border and I think it worked out pretty well. I still need some practice in joining the end to the beginning. I attached an old tag with his name on it that I found in one of my mother's sewing boxes and would have posted a picture of it here, except, well, it has his name on it. It was also my first time blocking something and I wonder how people do it without getting those little waves where the pins are. They are especially noticeable along the bottom.
The Mystic Valley Band, my new officemates:
In other news, I have a terrific new roommate. Perhaps she too will appear here soon.
