yarn store
I found a great yarn store in Grosse Pointe Park called Artisán Knitworks. I bought the 3 skeins of yarn shown below there. They had a great selection of beautiful hand-spun and hand-dyed yars

I knit this hat for my sister for Christmas. i very nonchalantly asked her, "if someone were to, say, knit you a hat, what sort of hat would you like? scull cap, stocking cap, ear flaps, pom-poms?" she sent me this link: http://www.kittyville.com/knit/kitty_hat.html and said she'd like one like that. i still need to add the pom-poms

yarn plug
I've recently bought some sock yarn from this guy: Knitivity. I was looking for a brown pink variegated colorway because my sister loves those colors together. He does a Neapolitan colorway and agreed to do a hank for me without the white. it came today and it is lovely! if i start now i may have a pair of socks ready for my sisters birthday. in September. :)

happy TLAPD!
My pirate name is:
Iron Bess Kidd
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

The only game of the 4 game series that the Tigers lost against the Yankees, and I was there. *sigh*

Would you like to play a game?
I'm addicted, nay, obsessed with a game called Kingdom of Loathing. It's an on-line Role Playing Game. No, I'm not trying to get you play Dungeons and Dragons with me, this is way cooler. You play as an adventurer traveling around the Kingdom fighting monsters and doing quests. but here's the twist: it is packed full of references to tons of cult classic movies and books. there are tons of quotes from H2G2, The Big Lebowski, and Army of Darkness, plus references to Steven King books and tons of SciFi Classics. Plus there are tons of jokes, haikus, limericks, and palindromes
There is a whole area where the the monsters are constellations named after different terms for naughty bits like the Hooded Warrior -
or the Camel's Toe -
as you can see, the graphics are very simple. there's even a taco cat -
you have the option of being a Disco Bandit, an Accordion Thief, a Pastamancer, a Sauceror, a Seal Clubber, or Turtle Tamer, each with its own set of special abilities. There's even a Wiki dedicated to KOL
I've mentioned this game once before on my blog which got Deon interested in playing. I've just found out that he has started up a clan for Dave Barry Bloggetts and that he's gotten Bismuth to play too.

Happy Fathers Day!
the photos below this post were taken downtown Detroit this sunday. the first is Scott Fountain on Belle Isle. the others are from the Heidelberg Project. My sister and I took Don and his GF to lunch at Slow's Bar BQ. Afterwards we drove around the city for awhile to show Don's GF the sites. She's from the Port Huron area and isn't familiar with the Detroit area. sorry about the craptasticness of the photos but I only had my phone with me.
