Nerd Time

today i happened upon another person's blog post which included a really confusing mix of old timey idioms.  so i had to go look it up.  long story short i found this website and i've been stuck on it for like an hour now.

so go check out fun with idioms...all that you never cared to understand about the origins of sayings :)

fan mail

i love fan mail!! 
i have a wonderful customer that sent me some pictures of my ware in action a while ago.  i confess i took some time getting this up as i was preoccupied making silk and wool felt...i had some small "vacation" between semesters so i'm getting my fiber intake while i can. hyuk hyuk. 

few things are as precious to me as when i know something i have created is loved and appreciated.

thanks again, jeff!

gary numan "are friends electric"

in which i discuss zombies

i used to have a friend that refused to eat mushrooms because they were the zombies of the plant world and eating mushrooms would make you a zombie eater.

so i was blasterizing my way through fontaine futuristics for the third time this fine night and my mind wandered to zombies....and i wonder now if that person was incorrect.  that perhaps fermented foods are the true zombies of the great food pyramid because what are fermented foods...and drinks....but RE-ANIMATED DEAD!!!???
so along that line of thinking i started musing about zombie tofu covered in zombie tamari.
zombie kombucha.  the zombie cabernet my father gave me a bottle of.  bottled zombies.  oh dear what have we done?
