i finally finished the shawl that i decided to make the rockers mother for christmas. i think it turned out well. its well over 6.5 feet long. i didn't think it was possible for me to make something that long, but it did. i can not tell you how happy i am with my casting off. the widths of the top and the bottom are exactally the same. i don't think i've ever done that before. i'm super pleased. i used lion brand homespun and size 15 needles. it looks almost like a blanket. i'm still … [Read more...]

funny things
October 23, 2003 by
so today i'm reading the oddly enough news over at yahoo!, and i found the most interesting article. stiff discipline after schoolboys' viagra prank now, i can tell you from first hand experience that viagra is nothing to play with. those rumors of 6 hours of stiffness are correct (in a normal man). it's fun for the first hour or 2... but then, it becomes an issue. now the boy i was with was 34... and he was tired of it... can you imagine? these were really boys. they were 12 and 13. … [Read more...]

last night missey andrea and i had a wonderful girls night. you know it, we went to chevys and ate nachos for dinner... then we went to target. i love target. it is one of my favorite places to shop. missey andrea bought bumpy clothes, and i bought the lion king dvd. even mom said we had to have the lion king dvd. can't really fight mom, can you? i was feeling pretty flush last night so i purchased 2 new shirts. i'm not sure of their staying power. i like them, but i don't love them. … [Read more...]
reclaiming vacant land
October 21, 2003 by
this morning, i was listening to morning edition, just like i always do. i like the news is more like stories. just a thing. anyway, this morning, i heard a very interesting story about reclaiming vacant land in flint, michigan. i think we all know, i was born and raised in flint, michigan. when i was living in flint, i remember lots of beautiful homes, lots of kids, and things were going ok. now, of course, flint is not really a nice place to live. that being said, i know many people who … [Read more...]
silicon valley turn around?
October 20, 2003 by
today wired.com suggests that the job market in san francisco for technical workers is getting better. i think that is a true statement, to a point. there are a bunch of us out there who have wonderful web skills. unfortunately, when you are out of work, you forget that you need to keep up with your skill set WHILE you are looking for work. it is very easy to get consumed in the fact that you are not working. i see so many people on sfwow complaining about some of these new tech jobs. … [Read more...]

reading about your lack of sex life
October 17, 2003 by
most days i don't think anyone reads this junk. i mean really, have you ever read such a bunch of hooey in your life? most days i just whine. it's really quite sad. but today, i found that i was mentioned in the dog snot diaries. what a riot! i mean really. did i really take advantage of the rocker? i hardly think so. the man is 6'6". i'm 5'5" (on a good day). so, i can try to take advantage (and have), but i don't normally get to do so, UNLESS he is willing. i say that the rocker … [Read more...]
deke in san francisco
October 15, 2003 by
my all time favorite crooner is going to be at the blackthorn tavern this evening. the rocker and i are planning on being in attendance. that is, unless my mood doesn't change. again this week, i have managed to put myself in a funck of uncertainity. why i do this i just don't know. i have absolutely no faith in anything anymore. unless something is up in my face screaming "HELLO", i'm all too ready to say forget it, this isn't what i want. i can tell you that i'm not too happy with … [Read more...]
