Super frustration.

By in Griping

There is no way that I am the only person in the world that hates itunes. I mean, come on. It’s insane.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my iphone and ipad, I love them to DEATH, but I have to update them occasionally and that means itunes is my only choice. But guess what? […]

I grow weary of this world

By in crochet, daily grind, Griping

What a productive week I’ve had. I got my arm finished-that only took 1 year of procrastination-dealt with internet thievery and finished my new quilt top. Ooh, and I got a shower radio for $5. Here’s the top, in situ: It’s not finished, not even close. I need to make the back (which will be […]

I made something today

By in crochet, Griping, making stuff is good

It will be the centre block of my future quilt. The pattern is by Anna Maria Horner (that’s a pdf file, fyi). It was hard, I mean, each square was so twonky, such a stupid shape, I had to trim trim trim to make them even vaguely square, then I zigged the heart on top, […]

Hand Update

By in Griping, seriously?

I returned to the Emergency room for a look-see and fresh bandages. I’d been dreading it, knowing how a big gooey wound can crust up. The doctor that removed it was good-firm but fair. He soaked it in sterile water to loosen things up and told me it was ok to swear if necessary.  It […]

Vrooom! Vrrrrooooooommmm!!!

By in crochet, Griping, haha, making stuff is good, seriously?

Someone who lives in my building had fun Saturday night with their motorcycle. Or did something deeply regrettable, I’m not sure. What I do know is that loud revving could be easily heard and that the perfume of burnt rubber was in the air. At 1:30am. Lucky us. But check the damage done to the […]

Colours/Changes

By in crochet, Griping, seriously?

I won’t be blogging as much anymore. Not only do people almost never comment on my blog-leading me to think no one reads it anymore so what’s the point-I’m making a computer switch out to using my ipad almost exclusively. This laptop is a piece of shit that I never got to properly test drive […]

Hilariously awful

By in clothes, Griping, seriously?

I cleaned our oven today. Talk about the world’s grossest job. The brown goop that came out of it was so gross, omg. I guiltily used almost an entire roll of paper towels-I just couldn’t bring myself to use a damp rag that would need rinsing after each swipe. Ugh. Anyway, this horrible task led […]

Not cute.

By in Griping, kitty

Seeing these chickens at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair on Saturday made me very sad.  I’m pretty much immune to the gelatinous blobs that go to the fair, the rude and obnoxious people that ride transit and other every day crap, but this really bummed me out. Like being a chicken at a traveling petting […]

Poor fishie

By in Griping, kitty

The pet store near work…sucks.  In the sense that ALL pet stores suck, they sell kitties that you could get free from a neighbour (or adopt at a shelter), puppies bred at puppy mills and lizards from who knows where. Not to mention exotic birds that have no business being in Canada (or a cage) […]

Caitlin and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

By in Griping, seriously?

It’s actually already come to an end, but the badness started about 24 hours ago and it’s all George Lucas’ fault. Or Spielberg’s.  Let me explain: I’ve been very much addicted to the Lego Indiana Jones game for DS. I play it a lot because, frankly, it’s crazy fun. And Ari is playing it too […]
