letter writing campaign

Dear Reynolds wrap slow cooker liners,

You are the best invention ever for lazy cooks. I think I love you. Will you marry me?

Dear The South,

Thank you for teaching my husband that a crock pot full of beans can be considered an entire meal. Now, let’s find some common ground on cornbread. More »

a week gone, just like that

First, some blogging business to take care of:

The “twitthis” button has been removed until they learn to do it WITHOUT using javascript hosted by amazon S3 and causing random horrendous page loading times. If you would like to twitter one of my blog post, you’re just going to have to do it MANUALLY from now on.

Your disappointment. It is palpable. More »

stop….header time

30 times I tried to take that picture.  And every time, Sadie would look away.  Or the picture would be crooked.  Or the elements weren’t in alignment.  And then the ONE picture that had laptop, knitting, socks, and Sadie all in a croppable row…

well, it’s blurry.  But…I am buzzed.  So there ya go.  Evilsciencechick, drunk again.

and….we’re back!

Sorry the site was down all day.  According the Bluehost, the server my site was hosted on was undergoing “maintenance.”  Riiiiight.  Sounds like Skippy the Intern spilled his coffee on the boards this morning.  After 8 hours of this “maintenance” (careful wipe down and removal of stickiness, Skippy likes his coffee sweet, apparently), we’re back.

Pictures of how I kept myself from going insane all day coming soon.

blogkeeping and spinning spinning spinning

first some housekeeping and helpful google fu for anyone who is looking: If suddenly, the Bad Behavior 2 plugin for wordpress starts making your comments hang up and publishing posts gives a 404 error, maybe check to see if there are any updates for your template. For some reason, K2 and BB2 decided they didn’t get along any more, so they broke up. I tried Spam Karma 2, but K2 wasn’t ready to love again, and there were still problems with comments. Updating to the latest nightly build of K2 (always a bit of a pain, sorry if things got a little wonky here yesterday) seemed to mend all wounds with BB2. I think. If anyone has problems commenting, let me know! aw crap. it started again. something is buggy, and I give up.

alright. Those that don’t knit, spin, or have an appreciation for either of those arts can probably stop reading now.
