All those Jiggly bits

So first with some real knitting news. This is my skullie sweater. Doesn't it rock all kinds of hardcore? I am seriously loving this sweater. I've finished the border around the bottom. Well, it's the length I want to be, but I'm going to double it up. I can't think of the proper word for it right now, but you know what I mean. I made it really long, so it covers most of my bum, which just makes it like a full body hug sweater. Just the way I like it! I really want to wear it RIGHT NOW, but the needles would be pointy, *tear*! It will be the most comfortable and amazing thing ever though! I can't wait.
I really want to wear it when I go to California, on April 17th. I think that will be managable, it's only the sleeves and a massive hood. Shouldn't be too difficult.
The drawing is one I did for the class I'm taking. I put it on because it is pretty much the best drawing I've ever done, and I am super super proud of it. I was having a bit of a difficult class, and then this happened. I just decided to do a line drawing instead of trying to figure out all the shadows and stuff. So for 40 minutes I just concentrated on form. Brilliance! *doing a dance!* I also decided that it is much easier to draw nude older women, than nude young buff men. Women have all their bits tucked up and away. It is also easier to draw folds of (healthy) fat, than toned muscle. That's not to sayt that I got all giggly and embarassed when we did the first class, I just had an easier time with the actuall drawing part. Plus the woman stayed still longer than the guy.

Been a while...

I haven't been on in a while, sorry. I was... no excuses.
Yesterday Renee, Miranda and I went downtown to Romni's and got yarn. Miranda got beads at Golden Beads since she's not a knitter though. Renee got red yarn to make her Link gauntlets, her second project. And that's Link as in Zelda. She had to rip them back again today, but they're going pretty well. I got some bright green yarn to make the Punk Rock Backpack from Stitch 'n Bitch. I've already made the front pieces and have the back about 4 inches in. Not to bad since I only started yesterday.
Last night was Pi night here. Because the number for pi is 3.14159, on the third month, 14th day at 1:59 am you must eat pie and watch Daron Ayronofski's Pi. It was awesome, but we didn't get to sleep until about 4 in the morning. Yummy pie!
I also went for dinner with my dad today. We went to the East Side Mario's on Steeles and Dufferin. There is really not much to choose from in terms of nearby off campus food around here. And I really don't want to go exploring, the repercussions of getting lost up here are much greater than downtown. Blast.
To stop this from being another pictureless post, here's some shots from Trevor's band photo shoot. It was corset/Moulin Rouge night at the pub (the Absinthe), so all us girls were dressed up. I was the green fairy. We were all supposed to be adoring fans of the band. The second one is Trevor and I goofing off. It's also a better shot of the costume, which I made all of. The corset is made of duct tape that I covered in green raw silk, and then sewed detail into. The skirt is strips of lace sewed to other strips of lace, and then green tulle saftey-pinned to the top. I made the skirt ages ago, so that's why the tulle isnt' permenantally sewed in. I pinned my hair up in pin curls and slept in them, so my hair turned out uber curly, which was a lot of fun. It wasn't very hard, so I may do it more often, just for the amusement factor.

I saw a squirrel once, it was like... ch ch chhhh

So I was going to post a picture of my Minisweater, but I couldn't find any good ones. I wish I could show something, but I have no camera to show it with. The pirate sweater is coming along fairly well. I have half of the pirate face on the back done, yay! I looks pretty punk-ass. Natalie wins!
I was going to post over the weekend, but I was at home and for some reason the internet was super super super slow, so it was taking forever for the blogger page to load at all, never mind getting all the way to the posting page. Rediculous. But I'm back in residence and able to blog away with the utmost spead.
Last week I signed up for the Booty Swap that Nipper Knits is doing. I'm very excited about it. It will be my first swap! I am so looking forward to this. yay! I love pirates, yarn and I'm quite sure I'll like swaping so this will be fun.
Today was a gorgeous day. For those who missed it, I am very sorry. You should have gone outside. I met Mira and we walked down Queen St. We didn't buy much, Mira just got a little pirate thing from Magic Pony that she had been eyeing, but we saw lots of things we liked and have resolved to return when our pockets are a little better lined. I think I know the bag that I'll get for summer... We had lots of fun. It was just a nice day to be out and about and walking around. Perfect. How was your day?

Anatomy no more! (for now)

My brain is all jumpy right now. I had a medium bowl of frozen yoghurt from Yogen Fruz and a regular cup of white mocha coffee from Second Cup. Buzzzz! The frozen yoghurt was a reward for doing two tests today, both in Anatomy. I hate Anatomy. The thing I look forward to school being done the most is that I no longer have to worry about that class. Bah. The coffee is for the essay that's due tomorrow that I haven't started. I may have accidentaly overdone the caffine. Damn.

I'm getting into knitting podcasts now. I'm listening to Cast on right now, much fun. I nearly pissed my pants laughing at her discription of the fugliest yarn EVER. People ran into my room to see if I was okay because I was laughing so hard and they could hear me down the hall. I really dig this podcast thing. It's like my own little knitting advice in my room. The thing about living up at Keele and Steeles is that there isn't a lot in the way of a knitting comunity. There are people who knit, but there isn't really anyone who has more experience than me to show me how to do things. I don't say this concietedly. I know this is true since I taught most of the people in my building that I know knit. I don't thing anyone is as into it as me. When I go home at the end of the semester I want to start going to a Stitch n' Bitch, just to have more of that community. I like my knitting bubble.

I found the picture off google. I just wanted a picture of muscles.

Ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

For anyone who reads the webcomic Questionable Content, this is going to be a spoiler. Do not read anyfurther, but instead go straight to the site and read the latest! If you don't read Questionable Content, I highly suggest it. Start at the beginning and read up to now. It's very amusing. And there isnt' really and questionable content, that's just the name of the comic.


Dora kissed Marten! AH! Oh my Juicifer. I can't believe it. They were all sort of datey, and then bam! Dora kisses him. But what about Faye?!?!?!?! Faye will go all (more) crazy again and then she and Hannelore will be all sulky and crazy, and lusty after Marten. But we all know that Marten can't split three ways, so they'll just have to be crazy. Juicifer! After reading it I spent a minute sitting in front of my computer yelling ah! ah! ah! ah! and wondering who I could tell. Then I remembered my good old blog. *sigh* this way I don't have to go wake up Miranda to tell her about it.

Now back to memorizing the circulatory system.

so ... sleepy ...

Why are Thursday's scheduled as university party nights? Why? Every Thursday we all go out, drink a little too much, and go to bed rediculously late. Sometimes I just want to go to bed early, screw everyone else. I did this a few times last term. But this term my freind Mira has slept over every week. And she want's to party. She stays over to party. So I have to party. Damn. I love her dearly, she's my special Mira-friend, but sometimes I want to sleep. This week has been some how lacking in the sleep department. I think I had one bad night of sleep, then Thursday I went to bed later and because of the drinks.... actually I didn't drink on Thursday. I had a juice. hmm. Well I slept crappily again and got up early. Then yesterday Trevor and I went to Burlington for a birthday party of a friend of his (Jess) at his house. That was where the alchol was consumed. Bah. I'm going to bed. Then I can get up at a resonable hour and cram for the two tests I have on Monday. Juicifer I'm screwed.

Juicifer comes from Renee who drinks coffee on pubnights instead of alchol. We decided we should come up with new swear words instead of saying "oh my god", or "dear lord" all the time. She was trying to say Jupiter and Lucifer at the same time. Thus Juicifer was born. He is the Dark Lord of Juice.

Beautiful

I googled Beautiful just now. What I found was just a bunch of ordinary landscapes and group shots. But someone, somewhere, thought these pictures were special enough to label them beautiful.
