That Kim Kelly is a bad banana.

Why is it that the really funny tv shows are always cancelled? What's wrong with mainstream America?

I'm 6 episodes into Freaks and Geeks and loving it...

Happy New Year!

It's 2011! Another year come and gone. Another chance for a fresh start on resolutions...

• Read all the Harry Potter books before June
• Crochet more projects and relearn to knit
• Eat less fast food; cook more
• Set up sewing machine
• Do little chores more frequently
• more to be determined.

The Reprise of a Funny

Previously in blog land I wondered if how people express their amusement offered insight into their personality. My original answer still rings true. I'm a funny haha kind of person. However...

New to the scene is "hee." Amazingly cute, my boss says this to express her sheer sense of bliss with the given subject. Although this isn't used in terms of funny, but in terms of a passive "how cute!" I love it, though when I tried it on it didn't feel right. It felt a size too small... but I think I'll try to squeeze into it.
THe sizes of expression ...

Small - hee
Medium - heh
Large - ha
Xlarge - haha
XXlarge - hohoho (heh. or maybe I'll upgrade that to a "ha" - it's a santa joke. now that's funny.)

Pretty in pink.. or honeysuckle!

Pantone has released its 2011 Color of the Year. Behold... Honeysuckle. Love it.

First Snow

Today was the first snow of the season! Christmas lights are out and glowing, and the snow was gently falling. Not enough to amount to anything, but it was my first sighting. The holidays have begun!

Like a ghoti out of water...

Yes, "ghoti" is actually a phonetic spelling for the word "fish." Strange, but true. Read more here. No wonder ESL learners find our native language so complicated. We have rules that break rules of rules, and then expect you just know which rules to follow and when. Whew. I'm tired just thinking of it. It's fun to note the uses of "ghoti" in film (Batman), toys (Neopets), language (Klingon), and good ol' Mac-Speak (Mac's speech synthesizer pronounces "ghoti" as "fish" by default.)

New Crochet on the Way

I've been scanning patterns for days looking for my next crochet project. I think I've narrowed it down to slippers, a tree skirt, or ornaments. More details to come...
