Russian Patriarchate Choir

Red Square

I was hoping for some nifty artwork on the program of the concert I went to this evening; but alas, it was all text. All the better not to compete with the singing.

I am Sorry, but I Cannot Allow This to Be

worm

I know the apartment has been cool and damp lately, but when a worm moves into the bathroom, it's not good.

Lazy Link Dump



The designers at rockscissorpaper beat me to my ecological niche.

I can make the dancer flip back and forth if I don't look directly at her, and don't think about it.

An interesting series of posts on Myers-Briggs types and Greek mythology. (I am still waiting for Odysseus.)

Grocery Store Paradox

bags

Why is it that when you ask for paper, you get everything stuffed into one bag (which then splits); but when you ask for plastic, you get one item each in thirty bags?

Finally

fall

A fall day.

Gryffindor Scarf

gryffindor scarf

Per a request, I am knitting a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry scarf in Gryffindor colors. The project is not moving along as quickly as I would like (scarf is BIG - 6.5 inches wide and 72+ inches long) and I am getting the annoying "ladder" effect between two of the double-pointed needles. Hopefully it will even out after washing.

Knit in the round in nice soft Patons Classic Merino Wool colors 204 "Old Gold" and 230 "Bright Red" on size 7 needles.
