McCain should go as Superman for Halloween. With a pocket full of kryptonite. Rachel Maddow needs to not use my terminology. Or Alicia’s. I don’t know which of us says “horribly, horribly wrong” most, but I feel our informal, creative-commonsy intellectual property rights being infringed RIGHT THIS MINUTE. Cancer is stupid and ugly and wrong. [...]

The U.S. economy continues its spectacular collapse, and I’m seeing responses that fall into two categories: 1: “Holy recession, Batman! I cannot peel my eyes away from MSNBC! Or CNN!

I ordered a couple of cute little Scrabble-tile pendants from Little Bird Studios with coordinating ribbons, and I’m thrilled with them.

…a little anxious today, and I expect it to continue for a bit. …angry at my favorite restaurant for choosing to do Sweet Potato Soup instead of Sweet Potato Fries on the Fall Menu. Seriously?

Those purple ones with yellow accents are a replacement pair — I have a customer who’s exchanging for a looser fit on the leg. (I finished the mate this weekend, not the whole pair. I haven’t knit quite that manically in years.) I love this customer…I think she may now own more pairs of my [...]
