An afternoon after class, me and some friends decided to head to 圆明园(the Old Summer Palace) which is just outside the West Gate of our university. It's quite the place. Very vast and beautiful. Me and my classmate weren't able to finish going around because we had to head to a class dinner thing. I'm heading back next semester though!
Date Taken: November 1, 2010
Location: Old Summer Palace, Beijing
It is probably more because I am cheap, rather than overly green, but I despise just throwing things away when they break down. I equally despise paying someone else to fix something that I know I can do myself. The 30+ year old second-hand Speed Queen dryer fantabulosa was making a pretty bad grinding noise. When I tore it apart, I found that it had chewed away its felt gasket (that's what the barrel slides on) because of its support wheels had seized and shorn itself off its axel (because of my bad maintenance no doubt).
A few bucks later, and I've got a quiet dryer again.
Because our items are handmade, every one of them is different. This particular credenza is one of my recent favorites to have arrived fresh from England. Our cabinetmaker really pulled off a great wood selection with a beautiful stain and finish. I also like the rounded trim along the desktop, as opposed to the flat trim that you see on most furniture.
This yarn is nice and soft, but with all the cabling and it being mostly cotton, it is a *wee* bit heavy. I hope it doesn't fit him until the winter! (which is what I planned on, making the six month size but you never know!)
------
Pattern: Trellis from knitty.com - the six month size
Yarn: Shine Worsted in Grass Green from KnitPicks
Needles: Size 7
Modifications: Somehow (?) mine came out with six buttonholes instead of seven. K, cool. And I didn't sew the very bottoms of the sides together, just because I thought why not leave a little slit there for a chubby baby to fit inside?
Holy moly, I am SO glad I finally finished this! Parts of it were really fun (the back) parts of it were annoying (the front pieces) and parts of it drove me bananas (kitchenering the collar together)... but I am pretty pleased with the results. For my first sweater, I am happy with it... but of course there are things I wish looked better *coughcollarcough* My most daunting project to date, but I did it!
Knit for a co-worker who is due to have a little boy in June. I hope she likes it! :)
because yeah I totally break mirrors when I'm frustrated..
((I don't like this no. it was poorly thought out and didn't turn out the way planned and it's in black & white because it sucks lol))
Because it reminds me of a self-satisfied swashbuckling pirate cackling on the vanquished deck of his enemy, just the stance and the way he holds his arm akimbo and lifts his chin back. Yes. I have a vivid imagination.
...Because I didn't photograph anything else. It was actually quite tasty - steamed sugar snap peas, garlic mashed yukon gold potatoes, and white whine-sherry chicken.
Just because they are sweet and highly intelligent animals does not mean they make great pets. Many farms and zoos have become adoption agencies for these unwanted animals who are no longer cute little piglets. At least here, she will still be appreciated.

Perfumed Cutlass Hunt Blogpost
The Perfumed Cutlass Hunt is the latest MadPea Hunt, a brief and fun confection with hints included for each item - which is important, since there is no limit as to how far the hunt item can be from where you teleport in. You buy the HUD for 10$L at the gorgeous MadPea Pirate Cove, then click on the HUD to fill in the map at each of the participating stores, following the trail of hearts the Perfumed Cutlass left behind her in her travels. Once you've found all fifteen, you get an avalanche of gifts that I'm showing off below where X marks the spot, in the Perfumed Cutlass' secret treasure cave. To add to the fun, each store contains a fun little story about each of the Perfumed Cutlass' loves, a touch which I ended up really enjoying.
These are the prizes.
Because of the ongoing drought, Sam Rayburn Lake is very low - exposing some of the forested areas that were flooded many years ago.
I vote because it's an important way to protect our rights to be different. When we vote, we fight for our freedom of expression and ideas.
I talk a lot about being who we are and celebrating it. None of that can happen for any of us unless we make our voices heard.
I'm voting with empathy for others and an accountability for our representatives. Let's really change things and celebrate all of us today!

... because I wasn't adventurous enough to try the real thing. The veggie version was made with beans, veggies, and oats (as usual), and served with turnips, mashed potatoes, and oatcakes (also as usual).
