A lovely Colorado Low brought more snow in 24 hours than we've had all winter, so snow day yesterday. Which is a lot less fun than it used to be when I was a kid. The nature of my job makes it that I can work from pretty much anywhere I can pick up enough of a signal to launch a VPN connection. (seriously, I once spent the day perched on a bucket in a storage closet/server room, several more in a walk-in freezer - fun times) But a day of working from the sofa with a cat on my lap still beats a day of sitting in an office chair. (and the coffee's better)

( tldr whining over the state of recreation... )

However, people reblogging Starbuck picspam on Tumblr really makes my day. You know who you are. *g*

Finally got around to downloading P!nk's Greatest Hits... So Far - note to self: don't sing along with the explicit lyrics at work. Pay attention dammit!

Today's XKCD not so unlike messing with the Fine Arts students in astronomy class at uni. (and totally appeals to my inner 8yo *cue Beavis and Butthead laughter*)

Flaily things: dieastra's action figure theater is getting some nice attention (and well deserved - even if you're not a DW or Torchwood fan, the attention to detail she puts into each of these is amazing and worth checking out)

So yeah, apparently I can knit scarves now, thanks to the internet and help from my flist. :)
I love the internet. (still can't believe how much time I spent browsing fuckyeahfluiddynamics on Tumblr)

The iPad pocket in my shoulder bag doubles nicely for stashing knitting in because it doesn't bind the yarn, so scarves two (a variation on this) and three (haven't got a pattern for, but it's green and soft and looks like a stick of bamboo) currently in progress. *hides yarn stash for two more projects* Maybe I shouldn't have googled for local yarn shops? Actually though, I do find the repetitiveness and symmetry of knitting rather soothing for my ADD personality, and it's probably more productive than mainlining caffeine in the long run.
