Random Weekend Things

[kaitou]

It was great to see groveperson, her husband and her adorable son this weekend. We went to the downtown farmer's market and I had an awesome spinach pie while we listened to live music. The music was unbearably loud, especially for the kidlet, but the man was so obviously permanently baked that it was worth it just for the hilarity. Especially when he went into a long winded explanation of the word 'esoteric' and launched into playing the theme from The Pink Panther. Also when all the nearby table started crying and he asked, "Is it because your balloons popped, or is it my music?" Groveperson's husband gave me a new cat toy for Roxy that she loved so much that when I put it on top of the bookcase for the night, I eventually had to move a chair and a few boxes so she'd stop trying to get to it.

And since I was in the land of, like, stores and things, I picked up my Father's Day presents and a bunch of cotton yarn. I may be acquiring a stash after all. But it's all necessary! For geeky washcloths! Like the Daleks I promised people, and the first of the Star Trek washcloths. (I'm making a gold and red one, and then planning to see if the red one manages to catch on fire, or get destroyed in the wash or something)

The Trek washcloth I knitted while mainlining the first disc of Chuck. OMG what a great show. I'd heard many good things, but had never gotten around to actually watching it. (I might have done much sooner if I'd known that Adam Baldwin was in it, and playing a very slightly more civilized Jayne to boot.) Very, very funny show.

And, to drive up my ratings, two more Roxy Pictures.

she is like a stuffed-animal version of a cat. there's just something so cute about her ears...

Also, I firmly endorse testing on the red washcloth.

Hee. I keep coming up with complicated theories... Whether the yellow one will be the most battered, but make it through...(Actually if it's a kirk-cloth, it would make sense if it had lots of dropped stitches. And I've considered giving it a loop so it can hang dramatically from things) And the blue washcloth would be...logical? cantankerous?

Alas, the metaphor has completely fallen apart.

Glad that you had a good time this weekend. I thought of you on the drive in to work, because I was following an Ohio-plated vehicle, and the plate holder said "St. Mary/ St. Vincent".

(My sleepy brain then went off on a FF7 riff about "Yeah, I agree that Vincent is *good*, but a "saint?". I don't know...)

Hahahaha!

Chuck snuck up on me, too. I'm glad NBC was persuaded to renew it.

That's hilarious. I have to hide Winchester's toys, too, or he wakes me up at four in the morning by poking his chipmunk at my face.

Me too. Now I just have to remember to actually watch it when it comes back on air. (Does it really matter if you're not even a Nielsen family?)

Before even looking at the pictures I guessed what the toy must've been. I have a friend who puts hers on top of the door frame but she's taller than I am! Her cat will just sit and meow in the doorway until she gets it down to play. I don't know about your toy, but hers is on a string, too. And you can get replacements for the feathers, she has a few of foil-like (shiny!) ribbon.

I have to look around to see if there is a washcloth pattern with the Klingon trefoil on it.

[kaitou1412.livejournal.com]

Eee! If you find one, please forward me the pattern. I wish I were a better knitter and could come up with patterns on my own.

I actually bought her another toy, that has the string and I can attach different tassles and feathers and such, but it broke getting it out of the stupid package. Should just take a bit of superglue to put it back together though.
