    - is sea food considered meat or not?
    - if i had more than one meat-free meal on monday, will this increase my chances?
    - how about meat-free meals during the week?

    sassy: good luck and keep commenting!

    bala wala shi: Seafood is meat.

    The meat-free monday double bonus is only good for ONE meat-free meal (but, please enjoy as many as you like. the environment will thank you)!

    So, if this is yarn from the never-ending sweater of doom, this would mean that, if I won, we would have matching outfits, right?

    This is a hat that could convince me to wear hats other than pirate hats.

    seriously now, my reference to all food environment knowledge was an article i read in harper's "the oil we eat." so i have limited knowledge. i understand why meat, depending on how it's 'produced,' is bad for the environment but i don't understand why sea food is. so please enlighten me with either an email or suggested readings.

    Look out contest contestants...

    BTW
    You didn't have any "leftover" negative feelings about the yarn while knitting this hat did you?
    You did say it was made from leftovers of The Never-Ending Sweater of DOOM!!!! :)

    It's so hot here I can't even contemplate a woolly hat! I love cranberries, though ... and you do look super cute in it.

    How many Vuboq hours were required for the hat? I haven't started my hat yet. Got the yarn and the pattern, but haven't started yet.

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

Shaken. Bruised. And Just the Facts.

This is not the post I was intending to write this evening, but ... I need to write things down to sort them out in my head as best as possible. At approximately 2:50PM on my walk home from the metro station, I was attacked from behind. I have walked down Wayne Avenue at least twice a day for 5 years, at all hours of the day and night. I have always felt perfectly safe doing so. Even today didn't seem out of the ordinary. As I approached the intersection of Dale and Wayne, I passed a young black man in his early 20s. I made eye contact and nodded. I crossed Dale and heard a noise. I turned and saw someone running up Dale. That's when I noticed someone following me. I turned off my iPod and reached for my phone. And he jumped me, putting me in a chokehold and trying to pull me to the ground. I began hitting him over my shoulder with my large umbrella (which, sadly, is now in pieces). I hit myself in the head a couple times, too, and have a few lumps. He pulled me to the ...

Weekend Update: Thanks for the Memories, NYC!

Good afternoon, kittens! I am back from an ... eventful trip to New York City. I wish I could post more pictures, but, as you will learn in a bit, there is a Very Good Reason. On Friday, after work, I hopped on the Amtrak. It was uneventful ... except I lost my hat. Sad. I really liked that hat. Once, I arrived at Penn Station, I transferred to the subway and rode up to 50th Street. David was attending a show, so I found a little Irish bar, had a beer, and waited for the show to end. Eventually, he found me and we had a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant that was yummy and I have completely forgotten the name. Lime something? Lime Jungle? Something like that anyway. Then, we went back to David's fabulous apartment in Brooklyn. This is the kitchen: Even though it is bigger than my entire apartment, I am not jealous. The next morning, we got up and went to IKEA. David forced me to carry a 7000 pound futon frame for 58 miles through all 42 Burroughs of New York City. Seri...
