Bandolier of Carrots

So now I can speak from experience...they aren't kidding when they call it Random Crap.

On the last Woot-Off, I somehow managed to get in when it came up, and my box of crap arrived today (which surprised me because there hadn't been any movement on the Fedex page yesterday besides Thursday's "Item information has been transmitted" aka "It hasn't left the dock yet").

I ended up with:
-- an American flag/bald eagle mouse pad (which I just may have to use after I move)
-- a Targus Travel Accessory Pouch (which is supposed to be for laptop stuff, but it looks like a shaving bag)
-- a Logitech EasyFit Connector (which is wholly unusable because it only attaches Logitech EasyFit headsets, which I don't have)
-- a Final Last Fantasy manga #1 (I have a feeling it's not going to be for me)
-- a generic shake flashlight with some fun engrish on the box. (ex: "Environment-protective Torch for 21st century") Despite this, awesomely enough, they did manage to use its and it's properly. ("Its switch system is based on advanced magnetic induction technologies. So it's long in service life and reliable in performance.")

So yes, random and crap. But amusing nonetheless.

I *do* believe in the power of stuff....

My god, I've finished a project. (Well, I've finished the knitting part. I have to felt it still.)

I used Knit in Public Day as an excuse to make myself pull out something from my box of UFOs, so I grabbed the modified Booga Bag (there isn't much modifying going on exactly, I just didn't measure or count exactly to the pattern) made with some Koolaid dyed yarn, and took it off to Sweet Eugene's, where, despite picking a not particularly comfortable chair, I had some very nice chai and an omgawesome crepe filled with melted chocolate goodness. Mmmm. ...And I also got a bunch of knitting done, actually finally finishing the bag part. Then I started on the i-cord...and remembered that my hands hate i-cord rather a lot. As I had reached the end of the chai, I wandered off to Hobby Lobby where I bought this (which is honestly really quite awesome, if you're in need of a spool--very easy to use) and wandered back home to watch Avatar and crank out i-cord.

Tomorrow, we felt. And make soup, I think.

(Also, how much do I love "The Blind Bandit"? Such a goddamn fun episode. And Toph is yay. And so is The Boulder.)
