I went to the pharmacy in the grocery store tonight to pick up some cold medicine for my man, who told me to get something with pseudoephedrine, cos “that’s the good stuff”. You have to ask at the counter nowadays for that so I did, begging for, “anything with pseudoephedrine in it”, like a junkie.… Continue reading Drugs!

BBC On Demand in the US
I’m so excited. The BBC is making its shows available through Zudeo sometime soon. (Zudeo is owned by the people who made the BitTorrent software.) We’ve been getting our Dr. Who fix from the newsgroups (until such time as the DVDs are released, because we just can’t wait a year for new Who…not while my… Continue reading BBC On Demand in the US
Money for Medicine
These ladies got naked to help their friend pay for the drugs that are keeping her alive after cancer treatment (cos, you know, a national health service would be the work of the devil. And Hillary Clinton.) Then they made a calendar. Now they’re selling it. Treat yourself and help Heather pay her bills!

Out of it
I am, apparently, not a fashionista. I’m thinking of buying some new clothes. Since all my post-baby shopping so for (make that almost two years, oops) has been done at Target, I thought I’d take a look online and see what is fashionable this year, before I got out and buy stuff that is oh,… Continue reading Out of it

It’s one of those big black keys with electronics in it and a key part that whips out like a switchblade. It also had a handle on one end that let me attach it to… Continue reading Key Cover

Adding Converts
I did it. It was my first time. I feel like a real grown-up knitter now. I taught my friend to knit. It totally did not push it. She came over (from the other side of the country, no less) and more or less instantly demanded that I teach her to knit. So I did.… Continue reading Adding Converts
Lorna's Laces Super Sock – Flame
I came home on a wet and dreary end-of-fall day to find a little package of loveliness waiting for me. It’s one of those moments when I want to drop everything (including two incredibly cute boys) and cast on. Then I remembered that once I had wound the Black Watch version of this I was… Continue reading Lorna's Laces Super Sock – Flame
Early Morning Writing
I woke up at 6.30 this morning, with no boys in sight or sound. I weighed the possibilities: go back to sleep for all of fifteen minutes, or get up and have a cup of coffee and a wee write, sitting at the dining table, watching the early morning light wash the sky/house line. I… Continue reading Early Morning Writing
