You’d think after a decade they’d have an easier to say “He who must not be named” alternative… like “Bob” “Gina” or “Palin”
Did some spinning, now off to the boyfriend’s to eat, TV, and sleep; then get up way early to do another pre-work gym trip. Craziness!?

Yarn ball winder (a tool to make balls of yarn) arrived today. I just made my first ball of yarn with it, I am so happy & proud of my work!
My skin is so crazy dry these past few cold days its been driving me insane!!! Need to be dunked in lotion overnight or something :-(
RT @tehawesome: surprised the shop “Pet Stuff” doesn’t offer taxidermy. With that name it’d just make sense. The same goes for Forever 21.
Just congratulated a Harry Potter fan for something by saying “AVADA KEDAVULATIONS!”
Boyfriend and I did an AM workout (my first AM one, his idea) … still not sure how I feel about it (but great GODS am I hungry!)
Freezing cold and mornings. two things I hate, that hate great together!
OOOOO! The iPad DOES have a microphone input. So will Apple allow for VOIP apps? This makes me curious!
iPad camera would mean a mic (to record sound w/ video). Mic + headphones + unlimited data = VOIP! I bet AT&T poopoo’d that idea.

iPad: turbo-charged, non-multitasking, no camera, XXL iPod touch that’s super-hard to type on w/o setting down or with one hand
Apple needs to stop using the word “magical” … unless it can go invisible or turn water to wine it’s just tech, not magic.
Even though Apple claims to be cutting edge, they don’t live-stream their own press releases. Very 1990 of them. UBERFAIL.
When Apple unveils the second coming of Jesus today, please try not to dance in the streets with joy. City busses hurt.
ANNOUNCEMENT! You can officially call in tomorrow with “Apple Tabletitis” and not have to go to work. Steve Jobs says so.
YAY! Got to have workout and lunch with the Boyfriend who was introduced to several my coworkers. SUPER FUN! :-D
Totally signed up to get to use http://failin.gs - awesome! I’m totally in love with new tech helping people give / get productive feedback!

this is so amazingly divine that I can’t quite contain myself!
Took a bus to work this morning rather then a train are the boyfriend’s suggestion, it wasn’t too bad!

If I had a little land I’d totally own a sheep… though I think my boyfriend might likely kill me for even thinking such a thing ;-)

I love seeing how the Seeds of Manifestation planeted at Solstice begin to manifest as February crests the horizon. :-D
Off to grocery store for soy milk so I can make vegan bread for tonight’s BotP devotional ritual, I’m all out! DOH! (or is that “DOUGH!”?)
Fantastic closing monologue from Conan for the final episode, very well done. The Jesters of the world are often also great masked sages.
DUH! Need a “Lazy Kate” to make plying work! While not as fast, I envy my drop spindle. So much it can do being just a hooked stick & disc!
I’m pretty much up-to-speed on how to spin on a spinning wheel now (vs. a drop spindle), but having TOTAL problems with Navajo ply on it!!!

Nothing I was really interested in on the menu at #Jackhammer’s #TheHole tonight… heading home earlier then I normally would. meh.

ZOMG PEE WEE WAS ON THE CONAN SHOW LAST NIGHT!!! I’m catching up now and laughing so hard I am crying!!!
Was practicing spinning yarn and was able to spin yarn that, after Navajo plying, was 36 WPI. Boom baby! #FiberNerdWin

Just returned a woman’s cell phone she accidentally left on the L seat next to me this AM. Felt great to see her happiness and relief.
Clearly revenge is a dish best served on late-night television - http://bit.ly/7FRl81 - CoCo 1.5 million dollar skit FTW!!!
I am REALLY proud of the way they handled Hiro in this episode of Heroes, as well as all the characters they brought back for it! ROCKSTAR!
Spun with my wheel for a while tonight, did really well with practicing the newly learned ‘long draw’ technique. In rapture w/ my wheel!
