I ran across this mockumentary over at Pointy Sticks. It must be seen. The truth will out.

Triple Joy!
Okay. I'm ready to stop whining.
Good things are happening. First to report: I finished the first sock of this pair this morning. I LOVE this sock. I'm really sorry that I mentally committed to giving it to a friend of mine. Still, it's a gift I can feel good about giving. I think the only solution is another skein in the same color and another pair. My friend and I will have Matching Socks!
Second, Michael really kicked it into gear yesterday and pulled up all the old floor tiles and laid almost all of the new floor tiles. Don't let them fool you -- it's not parquet -- but it does look a LOT nicer than concrete. Seeing how nice it looks makes me ALMOST want to go down there and finish the job and get everything organized.
Third, my new iPod arrived yesterday. I'm so tickled. It works perfectly and now I can get caught up on all my podcast pals and Astronomy lectures ... while I'm organizing the basement.

Warning: not for the faint-hearted
I ordered a new iPod from an eBay seller -- about $100 less than new. I can't wait for it to get here. I really enjoyed the old one.
Today, Michael, college student, is coming over to earn some money during Spring Break by helping me clean out the basement. This is not a job for the faint-hearted. In fact, we both were a little overwhelmed yesterday when we started on this Herculean task. 
The Aegean stables look tidy compared to my basement. Michael kept insisting yesterday that we needed to throw out a bunch of stuff and I kept resisting and putting things into piles. Maybe we'll make some progress today. Morituri te salutamus.

I WANT my ipod back!!!
I've suffered another techno-loss, but, unlike the camera, this time I don't think I'll get it back. Friday night, someone got into my unlocked car, which was sitting in my driveway, and took both my ipod and my purse.
I spent the weekend on christian retreat at my church. It was a good weekend ... very tiring, somewhat emotional, but I feel refreshed. It's the sort of thing we all probably need to do from time to time. While I was there, I started this sock. I made it all the way to the heel flap and I'm ready to turn the heel. I love the colors in this yarn! They're so rich looking.
The purse didn't have anything valuable in it. No money or credit cards. But it did have a lot of odds and ends that will be difficult to replace. The ipod, on the other hand, was very valuable and will be expensive to replace. I feel disconnected from the podcast world that I was enjoying so much. I want to hear from Dave Reidy at "Sticks and String" and Andrew at "Geek Farm Life" and Carrie Anne at "BritKnitCast" and Faith, "The Knitting Cook." I want to continue Astronomy classes at O.S.U. with Professor Pogge. I WANT my ipod back!
