oyceterGiant food pictures
Heirlooms from my market! I think they're mostly white cherry tomatoes, black brandywines, a few ox-something tomatoes (the oblong green-red ones), and one or two pink brandywines. Alas, this is from a few weeks ago, since I missed my market last weekend, but hopefully there will be more this Sunday!
Peaches from my market! I can't remember what kind these are, sadly... mostly white peaches, with a yellow one.
Giant knitting pictures
The tops of my completed Baudelaires. I messed up the tubular bind off on the left sock, sigh, but am way too lazy to undo it.
Completed socks for me! Whoo! This is the first pair that I've finished for myself.
The Anastasia socks I started in Michigan with the Rockin' Sock Club Walkin' on the Wild Tide colorway. I didn't like the colorway that much on the ball, but I love the jewel tone magentas and purples and deep greens when the yarn knits up. Also, it's helping that my sock is striping and not pooling really.
A fuzzier picture of the Anastasia socks, but a better view of the colors.
Giant rat pictures
Bya grooms himself. The best part is when the rats try to reach so far around themselves that they slooowly teeter and then fall over on their butts.
I think I woke him up, oops!
Ruki's many adventures outside the bathtub! He is the naughtiest rat ever.
Ren probably wishes he could go beyond the bathtub, but he is too fat to jump. I know, because he has tried multiple times.
Ruki now trying to decide if he wants to go back in, or if he wants to keep exploring.
Keep exploring it is...
Yup, Ruki in the shower!
Ruki by the door! Sometimes he just sits there, waiting for people to come in or out.
Ren washing his ear. So cute!
The rats really are pretty good contortionists.
Bya, playing the part of a pancake.
I think Bya's cleaning himself while trying to keep Ren pinned down.
Gotcha! Bya is a big bully rat, though these days, Ruki is attempting to be alpha rat (ha! haha! good luck!).
A very confused Ren.
Help! I've fallen and I can't get back up!
I was scritching him, which is the only reason why he's still on his back.
The cute little paws!
SO CUTE!

Sat, Sep. 29th, 2007 08:02 pm (UTC)I got the package! Woo-hoo! The kimono is GORGEOUS! Should I store it folded flat? I was worried that hanging it up would pull on the delicate parts. Also, should I trim the ties? They're a bit long.
Looking forward to your visit! I think we should take Jody for Din Tai Fung soup dumplings. Otherwise, start pondering all the fooding you want to do. Also, did I ever show you the La brea Tar Pits floating mammoths?

Sat, Sep. 29th, 2007 08:33 pm (UTC)Yay! You got the kimono!! Does it fit?
I think it'd probably be best to store it flat; the knitting will definitely stretch out if it's hung. Also, I forgot -- it should be handwashed cold, and no dryer!
I was wondering about the ties! The pattern has them really long so you can wrap them around yourself a lot. If you'd rather have shorter ones, I guess you could knot it and then cut, but I'd definitely knot tightly, otherwise it'll unravel.
I think we should definitely go to Din Tai Fung again! And Furaibo!! And Pinkberry! And Thaitown! And I did not get to see the floating mammoths!

Sat, Sep. 29th, 2007 08:36 pm (UTC)OK, we are going to see the floating mammoths. You will enjoy them. Plus there's a nice breakfast place nearby, and it's on the way to Thai Town.
I thought I'd take you to Furaibo after picking you up from the airport. And we need to haul Yoon about town! Plus, there is good eating and bookshops in pasadena, where she lives.

Sat, Sep. 29th, 2007 08:56 pm (UTC)We should definitely haul Yoon around. And watch lots of anime. And eat a lot.
Oh yeah, did you want a phone call sometime, now that you're back?
