New Monitor, and some epic cuteness

Sorry for not posting in a while. I kinda forgot :p

I have a new monitor now :) I might have mentioned before that my first computer monitor went kaput, and I had to use my dad's old monitor, which had a very dark screen. For the longest time, I had to squint at photos! But then my dad took me to Staples and bought me a new monitor. It's pretty :) I'm still getting used to the brightness of it, and I might have to adjust the contrast a little.

Since I finished the bobble pillow, I hadn't been knitting much, so I started a dishcloth to relieve my itchy fingers. I'm trying to use up my older yarn to make room in my storage bins for newer stash, so I'm trying to find patterns to use up my acrylic. I have three economy-sized skeins of Red Heart Super Saver in dark green, which I might make a throw blanket out of. I swatched for a throw blanket out of an issue of Knit Simple, and the swatch turned out a little bit big, but for a blanket I don't think a bigger gauge will matter too much.

And now, for the epic cuteness part of this post...





I might start a couple of regular features on my blog, like a 'Music Monday' or 'Friday Funny'. Thoughts? Feel free to comment!

Feeling ick.

I'm an idiot.

I ate two small bowls of these spicy cheddar potato chips with some chip dip mixed with plain yogurt. Now I'm feelin' the burn.... literally.

However, the soundtrack from The Song Remains The Same is in transit, along with another CD - Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited (Insert happy dance here!).

I started working on a back-to-school shopping list - well, back-to-homeschool, to be precise. So far, I've decided that I need some pencils, a pen jar, a planner and some film for my purple camera. On my list is also a sub-list entitled 'other' - so far, I have knickers and black pants on that sub-list.

I also need to pester my dad to move that giant computer monitor off my table. I hate it when people dump stuff on my table - especially huge stuff like a friggin' computer monitor! That monstrosity was meant for me to use, but since my stupid, evil brother decided not to let me have his old CPU, even though he said I could if I got a monitor, keyboard, etc... well, the monitor is pretty much useless to me, but my dad can hook it up to this computer 'cause the monitor we're currently using is rather dark. I have to squint when I look at dark photos.

So there you have it. My dad, AKA He Who Never Listens.
