Miscellany

• I finally got my invite to Ravelry, a social knitting network, customized to let you organize all your projects and your stash! Given this, GoodReads, and Flickr, I am in a cataloging frenzy. Alas, I haven't quite figured out how I want to tag all knitting stuff yet, but I am sure I will find a methodology soon.
  
  I also finished my purple KPPPM Hedera socks yesterday in knitting circle. It's so nice to finally have time again! I haven't been to knitting circle for months, and tonight I will go swing dancing, which I've also not been to for a while. Hopefully there will be pictures of the finished Hederas, my one finished Baudelaire sock, rachelmanija's finished tatami kimono, and the beginnings of yhlee's tatami kimono, but I can't find my camera right now. Woe!



• In other news, hysteriachan linked me to.....
  
  LOLRATS!
  
  BEST. THING. EVER.
  
  I want to put my rats on there now, except I can't think of any good captions.



• I have also been watching vids like mad, but since my brain seems to have completely shut down post-IBARW, I can't think of any feedback, save "SHINY!" There will be a longer post full of my incoherent reactions once I rewatch and figure out which vid is which.



• In conclusion, all you people going to Japan for Worldcon? I hate you I am insanely jealous of all the fun you will have Can I come with you in your suitcase? Have lots of fun!.
  
  can i has souvenir?

You had to post the LOLRATS thing, didn't you ... ?

My brain will be useless for serious work for the rest of the afternoon!

(Of course they are not nearly as cute as bunnies, even though they are probably smarter ... .)

Ha! Other people must get sucked into lolrats too! I went through the entire site today. So cute!

Yay vids! I'm the opposite. I'm so into vids and thinky stuff about them that I can't think about IBARW right now except OOH interesting (I'll get back to it later). Such bad timing.

Hee! My VVC watching and IBARW is starting to collide in my head, producing some strange and interesting results.

Congrats!

I've just joined Bookreads; it seems just like Librarything, only without paid accounts. If you hadn't mentioned it in passing, I would have never known that it existed.

Goodreads is pretty awesome, isn't it? I am having entirely too much fun with all these accounts.

Occasionally the rats arise in other contexts, too. Like on cat heads (http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/08/23/onward-my-brave-steed-we-will-soon-catch-those-cheeze-bandits/).
