Back from the dead...

To bring you this.

I've always know Freddie Mercury was a genius... and this only goes to strengthen that fact.

This guy is an asshole. Watch the video.

I'm deeply sorry...

...that this is the last post I've left you with for months.

World... raise your kids!

Rarr!

He desparately needs a sidekick; "Friendgirl"

It's been a long while since I've posted, mostly because of lack of inspiration. Then i lowered my standards, and now here I am. OK, no more fecitiousness. Is that even a word?

So, I came across this video and had a thought:




I think this is an excellent fashion concept, but a sadly pedestrian execution. No pun intended.

And I really want to know what about a hero's cape is illegal, and illegal enough to get you arrested. I think he's actually a crack dealer and he's using this hero guise as a front. {giggle}

What say you?

Now, I'm not judging the fact he's wearing a costume at all... no. I unfortunately also have no concept of contemporary fashion, although I've been accused of being a hipster. Hipster my "going-to-SF-dressed-as-Fezzik-from-Princess-Bride-weekend-attired" ass. This kid is about as goth as the Miley Cyrus, and the belt and boots gotta go back to Rosie the Riveter. I think he'd be better off in some red tights and vacuum formed Speedos. Scratch that, he'd just get another visit from the cops.

It's raining infants and toddlers...

Went to Babies R Us today. My very good friend and his wife are expecting.

I was rather dissapointed to see many teenagers with their mothers, moms working on their 3rd and 4th (and obviously unhappy)... le sigh. Aren't we populated enough? Is there a general consensus that perhaps one of many children will be able to become a prodilogical musician or artist, and fund the whole family?

I suppose it's a different story when you have to put planning and thought into actually getting pregnant.

In some kinda mood

Stevie Wonder > most anybody else.

Chloe won. That should put her in a great mood for her upcoming surgery. When, you ask? Sometime between now and May 17th. I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for the front page of www.BadKnitGirls.com - and Chloe's month long stay as Bad Knit Girl royalty.

Vote for Chloe!

So one of the websites Chloe frequents is having a "Bad Knit Girl" of the month competition, and she's up for May's girlie.

http://freakknitter.typepad.com/knit_girls/vote.html

Show your support and give her your click. It'll be a HUGE boon to the store*, as they will devote a whole page to her for the entire month of May.

Be sure to tell all of your friends and family to vote too.

Also be sure to send your good vibes and well wishes, as she's regressed in ilness and will likely be having another surgery in the next couple of weeks. (Way to work the sympathy vote!) She's currently home and bedridden, so smiles and pings to her are always welcomed.

*That's right, Chloe owns a yarn store!

In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room

Next Tuesday I flip my life calendar another year - to 32.

In trying to defeat my hermit-dom, I thought it might be a good idea to have a little get-together. I couldn't justify the whittling down of any invitees, so I've just decided to ask ALL of my friends to join me.

By "friends" I mean anyone who can read this, everyone who rolls their eyes when they see my hackneyed and somewhat narcissistic 'flyer', drivers who think that no one can see them picking their nose at high speed, and your friends and acquaintances who don't wield weapons in public Tiki smokehouses and bars. ;)

As our friend "RB" says, "The rules are easy. Just don't be a dick."

Chloe and I will be there @ 7:00, sipping from a flaming bowl of no fewer than 3 liquors and 3 mixers. If it doesn't taste like rotting fruit and corn syrup, it won't be on the agenda for the evening. Look for the ogre in the Hawaiian shirt - that'll be me. Come by and say "hi."

And please, PLEASE feel free to spread the good word. I want this joint to pogo, and I want you all to share in the good vibe.

P.S. No hitting on my mother-in-law.

Brilliant

The Fly - The Opera

And this ain't no 1950's clean cut, poodle skirted, flat topped "the Fly"; it's directed by Cronenberg.

I'm already vomiting from joy.

Chloe is in the paper today...

"Chloe, 29, promotes the hipper appeal of knitting just by showing up at Purlescence Yarns, the Sunnyvale store she opened in 2006 with two partners. Sporting a mohawk hairstyle and tattoos, Chloe describes herself as "the antithesis of the perceived image" of a knitter.

As a shop owner who's passionate about craftsmanship and fiber arts, she senses immediate acceptance by like-minded knitters and crocheters. That includes a steady stream of customers, said Chloe, from nearby companies including Yahoo, Google and Lockheed.

"Women who normally cross the street when they see me will come in to the store knowing I'm not here to hurt them," she said with a laugh."
