It’s Go Time

Hey since this site started as a way to document my Flying Pig Half Marathon training, I guess I should point out that I’m running again. I participated in A Shot In The Dark, a 2-mile relay in downtown Cleveland, in July. All I’m going to say is that I will never eat a cheese pizza before a race again. BAD IDEA JEANS.

Now I’m working on the “Couch to 5k” program and plan on finding another short race to run in the fall. Maybe a Turkey Trot?

What is the point of having a cat if he won’t do his ONE JOB and eat delicious, yet terrifying, spiders that make their way into the house?

Can someone explain to me why mp3 albums on Amazon are consistently more expensive than the physical CDs?

Evolution of a Hat

January 17th, 2010 by racharak 2 comments »

I’m working on a couple of hats for my sister, and thought I’d share some pictures of one of them. I used to keep a blog just for knitting/crocheting projects, but I’m so slow that the site only got updated a few times a year and eventually I lost interest in it and gave up.

Pattern: Brioche Hat, Weekend Knitting Link
Yarn: Cascades 128 Super Wash, Colors 817 and 863  Link (BTW, I’ve never bought yarn before that didn’t have names for the colors. Weird.)
Hardware: Size 6 and size 8 circular needles, size 8 dpn’s

Hit the jump for details and pictures.

UPDATE: Finished hat + bonus second hat pictures have been added below. » Read more: Evolution of a Hat

Portland and Seattle

Here are pictures of my trip to Portland to visit my sister Sarah. We took in a Trail Blazers/Lakers game (BOO Kobe), rode a train, bummed around downtown Seattle, and ate way too much food. I took some videos of the train ride, but they need some editing before I post them.

Dinosaur Comics (which is awesome and you should be reading already) dude Ryan North mentioned his love of out-of-genre music covers in a post a few weeks ago. If you’ve got a few minutes to kill, here’s a few he linked to that I liked:
