Huh - I didn't remember that the image at the site was also green. You can find the pattern here . . . I have to say that when I started the bobbles almost killed me. But now, I can do them pretty smoothly.

(There is, of course, a long tradition of Doctor Who fan-knitting.)

I have a Dalek washcloth my friend made me. "Exfoliate!"

Love the Dalek potholder, sumi! This is even more impressive because while I thoroughly enjoy Dr. Who, I HATE Daleks with an unholy passion. Just one sound of their horrid voices makes me want to reach into the tv and pop off their non-head heads and spin them around by their toilet plungers.

What are they exactly? People/robots/aliens? I think I might prefer to think of my potholders as oddly shaped lighthouses.

They are aliens inside of robots, who have traumatised a generation of British children and PBS watchers.

we are very nerdy (hugs Buffistas, carefully avoiding my pocket protector)

I'm gonna do some "I'm freaking grateful" Snowies shopping this afternoon, but I want it to be somewhat fair: I want to send them to as many people as I can, but ugh, don't have much money (esp. after all of the money spent on keeping my dog alive).

But I do have the money to buy and send it to some, and others can get it later.

So, in order to do it somewhat fair: the first ones to email me their snailmail address will get it first. The others, later. I hope that's acceptable with all. I'm planning to send it around tomorrow.

Update: there was once last pack of Snowies there, so I bought other things instead. When it comes to Max Brenner, it really doesn't matter, IMHO. They can do chocolate, regardless to sex, race or taste buds.

I have got the bestest secret santa in the whole wide world!! There was a little peach slip in my mail box last week saying I had a package waiting for me at the post office. I kept putting off picking it up for various really stupid reasons (even stupider once I got home and opened it), but today I swung by the PO and as soon as I got home I tore right into it.

Eeeee! I can haz sour cherry vodka! This totally yummy stuff that Brenda fed me when I went down to visit a few weeks ago that she made herself. I almost don't want to drink it, because it is so delicious and eventually it will be gone and I won't have more. But...it's so good! I will drink it out of a thimble.

And, I got cherry candies (my love of cherries knows no bounds), key lime cookies, cheese cookies, a gift card for Starbuck's (my coffee budget will love you forever), and a bar of sea vegetable soap from Lush. Everything is so yummy tasting and smelling!

Thank you, Brenda!! You're the bestest.

Awesome! I was so excited when I realized I had another bottle - glad it made it intact!

Indeed, it did. I was so happy when I saw the "fragile" on the box with your name, because I was hoping beyond hope it would be the cherry vodka. If that had been the only thing in the box, I still would have been over the moon!
