Evil Songs, Get Outta My Head!

Lately, I've had a lot of songs stuck in my head, and yesterday they kept rotating. One minute it would be Doctor Robert by The Beatles, then a little later it would be something else. Here's the songs that tend to get stuck in my head...

• The Beatles - Taxman
• The Beatles - Doctor Robert
• Black Sabbath - Never Say Die
• David Bowie - Suffragette City
• Boston - Smokin'

Feel free to tell me what songs get stuck in your head!

Adventures with Mohair

I decided that making a dropped stitch scarf would be the best way to use up my demonic, hairy mohair. Because the cable cast-on was the first cast-on I learned, I had tried that first when I was experimenting a little while ago, but it wound up getting knotted. So yesterday, after learning the standard single cast-on when experimenting with another yarn, I started this scarf. I tried it out a few days ago, but I didn't start the scarf 'till yesterday. I'm still not too keen on this mohair (I had to start the scarf over once or twice), but it's coming along well.

Snider Reigns Supreme!

Once again, Jesse Blaze Snider is untouchable, safe from elimination! And he smashed a guitar!




My mom said that it even worked as a ballad, too!

In other news, once again, I got confused with my algebra. It turns out that my mom and I both messed up on one problem. I detest algebra...

Jesse Blaze Snider Again

To get psyched up for tomorrow's episode, I decided I'd post the video of Jesse singing Billy Idol's 'Rebel Yell'...

Kitty in the Bathtub!

After my shower, Mouse decided to jump in the bathtub. She's been known to do that - and when I'm in the bathroom, she'll wait outside the bathroom door for me. Cute. Annoying, but cute.

I still have a headache, and I have a sour taste in my mouth, which is probably from my strange breakfast - a brownie and a banana. But, on the upside, I get to go to the library today!

To Grandmother's House We Go...

So, we had to go to visit my grandma and grandpa today, to get the rest of my dad's birthday present. It turns out that my grandparents also wanted to give me my birthday present early. My dad got two Kit-Kat bars with Dale Earnhart Sr on the wrapper and a Dale Earnhart Sr DVD set. I got two tops - I haven't tried them on yet, because they're drying, but I'm sure that they'll fit because my sister was with them when they bought them. For quite some time, my grandma would buy me the wrong sizes in clothes, but I think that she's finally realised that I have, to put it bluntly, a bosom. I don't fit into a girl's large shirt anymore! But the tops are both in a women's large, so I figure they'll fit. I'll take photos when the weather's nicer and there's more natural light. It's been damp all day, and it was quite foggy this morning - my mom and I both had headaches today because of the weather change. I had aching shoulders too, but I might have slept oddly last night. Or it could be because of the change in weather. Who knows?

A Scarf, Monty Python, and Diabolical Fruit Juice

This is the last photo that I took of my scarf. I've lost count of how many squares I've made, but right now I'm working on a blue stockinette swatch.

Today I was watching Eric Idle's Personal Best whilst working on my scarf, and I happened to have a glass of fruit juice. I took a sip and missed my mouth - I thought that I didn't get any on my scarf, but I discovered a tiny drop on the orange basketweave swatch shown in the photo. It's all right now - I blotted it out with damp toilet paper.

Here's Eric Idle with the other Pythons in this fabulous sketch. For some reason, it cracks me up...
