still more clickies

Courtesy my most awesome, amazing girlfriend: Measure to name sewage treatment plant after President Bush is on the California ballot for November. WIN.

This is very nifty: how to reduce packaging: ideas from Japan. SERIOUSLY cool.

God, my brain is oatmeal, I swear.

ETA: I just recieved the little box of socks which is all sock knitting patterns! Very, very cute. And a nice form factor (they're all on laminated cards, very handy.) Mmmm, nomnom socks.

Almost makes me wish I lived in Cali.

Almost.

That's San Francisco proper: Cold, windy, expensive. But I still like it. I just wouldn't live there. :)

Geographically, most of California is total Bush-country. We just have more concentrated population in the liberal areas.

Pop was born and raised around the Mojave.

He refuses to even think about visiting.

Can't say that I blame him.

See, I think you are made to knit socks. You have awesomely creative ideas and colour-sense and you're always on the go, which makes projects like socks and mittens seem perfect for you.

Oh, I had a pattern that made me think of you. No idea if it'll go over your mohawk but it might look cute on some of your friends, too, and it's lickety-split. http://www.vogueknitting.com/node/406 Third row down, far right. The racer cap. You could do the middle stripe in a rainbow and then do black on the sides for a rainbow mohawk hat. :)

hmmm, I have a pair of mittens that need finishing.... ;)
I could do socks for summer knitting, too. since I don't wear sandals, ever.
(and thanks for the lovely compliments!)

that is a cute hat! I bet I even have black & rainbow on hand - trying to work down my stash... ^^
