Them spoilers, them spoilers!

I ain’t touching the internet with a ten-foot pole until I’ve finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Spoilers are everywhere.

See ya later, interwebs.

Gorilla Hero

The last six hours of my day have been mostly crap, but then I watched this video that made it all much better:

Tried to embed it, but it fizzled up my whole blog! Please click instead.

Thank you, Dresden Codak. The accompanying comic helped too.

Also! I have finished reading through the delicious archives of Scary Go Round (which you should read because it is the best thing ever and will give you weird, happy dreams). In the midst of my boy problems, I have fallen head-over-heels for the comic’s fictional Ryan Beckwith.

Another sweater!

I am queen of the raglans these days.

Shannon bought the yarn, I knit the sweater. I think that’s a pretty good deal.

The construction is very similar to the Hogwarts sweater: bottom-up raglan, slightly fitted waist, very nearly seamless. This one has a half-assed sort of boatneck thing going on.

Honestly, I think it’s waaaaaaay to big for her, but she said she wanted it to be the same size as mine.

Next up: long, fitted cardigan (also bottom-up raglan, but this time it ain’t in the round) for my mom. It will be made of the best yarn I can possibly afford.

First paying gig — maybe?

Loon and I are working with a very passionate Seattle teacher to set up a website for Seattle Green Schools (also occasionally called “Seattle Green Teams”). We’re doing the design now, and I’ll start on the real work once my AmeriCorps term is up — and yes, they might even pay me! How neat is that?

I can’t tell if I’m getting better at web design or worse. It’s always so painful.

Stick figure adventures in math! Part one: Probability

It’s no xkcd, but I think the comic Lisa and I are doing for our CAP* will be alright.

*CAP = Community Action Project. Gotta do it for AmeriCorps. Lisa, my coworker, and I are making a comic/activity book about math with the aim of encouraging middle school girls or something. I dunno, we’re losing sight of the grand scheme and just scrambling to get something done before our term is up.

Spam

Every one of us poor saps at NWEEC gets the emails sent to info@nweec.org, which is almost entirely spam. Some of it’s hi-larious.

I think this one’s my favorite yet:

Add the inches to your penis like the years to your age.

You hate your penis. Love it with Penis Enlarge Patch.

What do you think, Mark? T-shirt or band name?
