Perfecting Extermination of Tumultuous Ants

18 August 2006

I love you Picasso!

Really. I didn’t resent nearly making myself throw up with leaning over to killkillkillkillkillkill ants in the closet as I scrubbed the closet floor within an inch of its life.

True, the ants didn’t come for your catfood this time, Picasso, I have no clue what they wanted, but it’s your fault anyway. Trust me on this. The little tiny tiny micoscopic ants earlier this week say so.

Ahem.

Anyway.

One of the things Tiphanie included in her Tiamet package was two balls of Sugar ‘n Cream in Midnight Magic.

Who comes up with these names? I like the colors of this, but how in g-d’s name is this evocative of midnightness, never mind magic? I want a naming job! Yeah. I’d come up with something better than that…..

I bet you could too! What would you call it?

Simona sent me this smiley knit.gif, it’s so goofy it’s cute, and I just had to share!

How am I feeling? Less germy. I did hurt today and had to take narcotics, probably due to the torrential rains today.

I’m still knitting the crapscarf because I couldn’t make a go of starting the glove thing, even though I tried, I really did. Either I need to cast on 20 less stitches next time, or I need to finish crapscarf. One or the other. Tiphanie, I know, would say CAST ON but I seem to be missing the caston affliction.

And I really hope Benkei the Sidekick’s stupidass scroll button fixes itself again because it’s hard to comment on blogs with a sick scroll button.

PS: The scroll button works again! For now. Yay!

  1. Yay for packages. Midnight suggests black to me - hmm. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. Love the photo of the Picasso catchen.


  2. Maybe it’s midnight in the Arctic Circle with the Aurora Borealis doin’ its thing.


  3. It’s a very pretty color, but I agree, it’s not exactly midnight looking!

    That’s a very cute picture of Picasso. Seems like a “What? I didn’t do anything! Why are you looking at me!?” kind of face.

    Maybe Benkei the Sidekick needs some narcotics too?


  4. When that Picasso picture came up in bloglines, I shrieked with delight - brilliant. And the smiley - MUST have brilliant smiley.

    I totally know what you mean about the names of the Sugar’n'Cream yarns. “Summar Splash” was ok. But I just finished knitting a “Patio Pinks” bib… and WTF re: “Country Ombre” or whatever the sage and purple unphotographable colors was…


  5. Yeah. I’m still puzzled about why the company picked Country Ombre for sage/purple/light green. :)


  6. I love that little knitting smiley face..too darn cute.


  7. EEeee!! What a beautiful Picasso shot!!
