I like parentheticals (really?)

I just opened up a Coke (first one I've had up here! I'm being good!) and went "Man, this tastes really good!" And then I remembered that it actually has sugar in it up here, which probably explains why it tastes so good. (Actually, my first thought was "This tastes like a Frozen Coke!" I blame Sam's. Do Frozen Cokes use sugar in them still? Google is unexpectedly silent on this important issue.)

I actually cast off on Jerry's scarf today. The one that's been in the works for two years. ...At least I'm in time for this winter? The good thing about having none the rest of of my yarn here is that I've been forced to work on the scarf more regularly (although I really only did about the last 3 or 4 stripes here).
I have to admit, Jerry had to run into town the other day, so we stopped off at Kensington Market so I could see it and so I could also stop by Lettuce Knit (where I was mostly good and only bought a skein of Malabrigo (mmmmmmmmmm) and a skein of some Greek mercerized cotton).
While we were in town, we also hit up Phil's BBQ again, where we consumed large platefuls of meat (and the beans were better than I remembered them being).

Now I have to figure out what to do with my leftover yarn in the case of the scarf (1.5 skeins of each color -- Jerry wants a headband, so some of that is going towards that, but I'm still trying to figure out how that's going to work what with sizing up and also whether I want to attempt any colorwork or stripes or just leave it plain), and with the new yarn (I'm thinking maybe a beanie for me with the cotton, and I may just keep the Malabrigo around to pet. ;)).

Also: Guh. Ravelry invite please! <Colbert grabby hands>

Have you had the Dr Peppers with the real sugar in them? Tasty as well. Unfortunately, they're like $8 for a pack of six 8 oz bottles. :(

Now the real question: were the beans better than Smoke Stack beans?

Mmmm . . .
