utilitarian knitting

By Em | Published: Sunday, May 31, 2009
I’m working on bigger projects, but I’ve got a few little projects I can share. This is a soap holder. It’s a little cotton mesh bag with a drawstring. It’s a very quick knit. I haven’t tried it out yet, but if it’s nice, I’ll write up a little pattern. And this, this is a [...]

Kebabbing

Check this shit out – Israel Lancho, Spanish Bullfighter, Gored There’s even a video at the source, if you want to see it in action. I hate to see people suffering, but I imagine this guy’s caused a lot of suffering in his lifetime too, so it’s almost like karma or something. I’m surprised this [...]

In addition….

It was suggested by A that our pic at the Leonard Cohen concert the other night should look like this…. … in the sense that A was excited too, and not as disinterested as the pic I had posted implied. Indeed – It is good to know that a $251 ticket was not wasted on [...]

Leonard Cohen

By Em | Published: Wednesday, May 27, 2009
Just got back from seeing Leonard Cohen tonight at the NAC. It was absolutely amazing! Possibly the best concert I’ve ever been to, or at least in the top 5. Amazing. I can’t believe he’s 74. I can’t believe I finally saw him live. I can’t believe I was in the same room as him, [...]

Monday Meme – random edition

1. What colour is your shower curtain? It is a super cheap clear one from Ikea. Pretty much see-through. With the lighting in my bathroom, any solid shower curtain would have me in the dark. 2. When swimming, if you really need to pee, how likely are you to just go where you are? Depends [...]

Happy Holiday Monday, Canadian folks. It looks like a nice one here in Ottawa. Here’s a meme. It’s a long one, so I’ll put it behind a cut. Like Unlike

Stitch markers

I’m knitting the Febraury Lady Sweater, and it’s been going pretty smoothly. It still kinda looks like a blob, so I’ll take a photo of it when it becomes more of a sweater. There’s a lot of lace in the pattern. Luckily, it’s not difficult lace and I’ve got the pattern memorized already. I’m ok [...]

Here they go again

http://ignatieff.me/ Oh fuck off. Global (of course) is running the latest Conservative tv ads bashing Michael Ignatieff.  The above link is part of the campaign. I’m not even a liberal supporter, and I think this attempt is pretty fucking sad. I guess this was the best they could come up with at the moment. The [...]

King Khan & company…

By Em | Published: Saturday, May 9, 2009
We went to Babylon last night to see King Khan and the Shirnes. It was pretty decent. The Sunday Sinners opened, and they were awesome and I hope to see them again. After them, Mark Sultan/BBQ was on. He was a good performer, playing drums and guitar while singing, but I wasn’t really feeling it [...]
