'Dirty Girls'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Daisy Jane, that book sounds great! Not only does it have a great title, but it sounds like something that any knitter could appreciate, whereas with the books focused specifically on the practicalities of knitting, I really don't know whether they would be useful or they would appeal to her or she's moved past them or whatever. Thanks for the rec!
This one seems to be even more popular: [link]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
hello! (emerging from my long silence)
so much going on!
My new tag is from Tim Burton's interview on Charlie Rose ... he's an interesting man.
Andi, you might point out to the problem person's supervisor that her actions might open up the possibility of a law suit (deliberate overuse of any medication might cause problems ... and if the patient's family found out they might want to).
Hil, I suggest you track down your advisor and nail the letter to his chest (I'd suggest his forehead, but if you nail it to his chest, upside-down, he'll be able to read it). ... what? it worked for Martin Luther!

Yeah, the Mason-Dixon books looked good too. Damn, now I can't choose!

Although for the price of one of those Mason-Dixon books, I could get her two of the Yarn Harlot books. I'm leaning more toward that, since they both seem good: the first is more life experience and the second has practical tips as well. And the paperbacks are more portable for potential holiday reading.

There you go! I'm serious about the Cast-On podcast too. If she doesn't know about it, it is awesome.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yarn Harlot, except for Knitting Rules, is all essays--no patterns. The Mason Dixon books are some writing, and a goodly number of patterns. As a gift, actually, I'd lean toward Yarn Harlot. Because, well, knitting humor.
