Dig It

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Tue, 05 May 2009 17:24:59 -0700

One of the benefits of last year's epic move is a new backyard with lots of garden potential. Finally Spring is here and with it comes my first season in the new garden space. After a weekend of mulching and pruning and digging and bleeding (only...

Crazy 2008 in Review

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 16:29:52 -0700

What's been going on since March? This stuff! The chickens all grew into roosters. Roosters suck! Went boating. Messing around in boats != suck! Met some new people, moved into a new place. New place is the anti-suck. I sleep in a cubby in...

Say Hello to Cute, Say Hello to Flavor

Chickens are here! Thanks to a wonderful friend at the garden at my work I can have chickens. They're going to stay with a larger flock tended to by highschoolers, garden coordinators, and myself. This little guy is Flo. He (hopefull she) is ...

Self-Improvement Update: In Which I Commit to More Fun in 2008

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 12:26:19 -0700

I'm not one to make New Years' resolutions. Self improvement ought to be something you can do any day right? And mid-winter is an awful time, I think, to be making sweeping condemnations of past habits and ambitious commitments to new behaviors....

Just in Time for Winter or um... Spring, I Guess

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:10:56 -0700

One of my favorite things about snowy weather is the way the snow disperses the streetlights, putting a melon colored glow on every building, car, and lawn for miles. It's truly lovely. In winter I try to look inward, hibernate a little, take a...

Killing Me Softly

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:33:44 -0700

My assassin completed her mission today at 12:15 PM. I am now officially dead and out of the game. Judging by the weather building outside I should count myself lucky. Better to be dead with a warm hat than alive with cold ears. Capoeira class...

Hat Attack... Intrigue, Wool, and Assassination by Binary

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 22:07:56 -0700

It took me two days of frantic knitting to complete my doom-hat for the Hat Attack! (think Sockwars for your head) swap on Ravelry. Here is my geeky missive of murder who's seemingly random cables are actually placed to represent a series of numb...

You Spin Me Right Round, Baby

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 18:25:14 -0700

Progress continues on the extra fine camel/silk blend I'm spinning for the shawl project. The one I haven't blogged about or even mentioned because it is so daunting I try not to even think about it except in yarn terms. As in, "ooh, I should buy ...

Attack of the Stash

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 10:07:22 -0700

I finally put aside some time to fill out my ravelry projects and stash. Man do I have a ton of yarn but not nearly as many UFOs as I'd thought. Xian's Dr. Who Scarf is almost finished. Yes, it's been more than two years now. But it's had a l...

Adventures in the Interim

nobody@vox.com(Cuddlefish) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 09:30:33 -0700

Just in case there's somebody out there wondering (but mostly because I want to show off this year's Christmas cookies -- see below) here's a breakdown of what I've been up to during this winter of scant (non-existent) blog posts. Obsessively f...
