I told Andrew about helping you bring those home from your school. He found it hilarious because -- well, who else would do that, and have it be a perfectly routine thing?

So, about as non-standard for a North American knitter as possible.<br /><br />The library cart was one of the many wonderful objects I acquired when they cleared out some storage spaces on the Psyc floor. (I pushed it home through the streets, spray-painted it white in the back yard, and then single-handedly got it up 3-1/2 flights of stairs to my apartment!)<br /><br />I also got a genuine "shocker" (used in certain experiments, but I mainly like it because it says "shocker" right on the front), a working TRS-80 *with ancient floppy disk*, and 2 antique oscilloscopes with intact vacuum tubes. <br /><br />I was very sad because there were a couple of big awesome stainless-steel polygraph machines that I couldn't take. (Nowhere to put them in my 1-bedroom.)lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417223386917662430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914415.post-1089175297908773922004-07-07T00:41:00.000-04:002004-07-07T00:41:00.000-04:00You have a library cart in your home?!

But the most important question: Continental or English-style?<br /><br />I'm guessing Continental, since most of the work is really done with the left hand.argotnauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084344933892371729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914415.post-1089132310069753082004-07-06T12:45:00.000-04:002004-07-06T12:45:00.000-04:00Oops---slowness of Blogger server caused me to dou...Oops---slowness of Blogger server caused me to double-post that last comment.

Industriousness: it was more a rebellion against the specific *kind* of industriousness I should (continue to) be engaging in, namely, school stuff. I felt terribly lazy the entire time I was doing all that stuff.<br /><br />2. Cat Coop! My next band name. Although it has lots of bad name-calling potential...<br /><br />3. I learned to knit in Norway. I knit freestyle--none o' that countin' stitches business for me! Currently making fuzzy pink jumper (gak!) with a zipper down the front.<br /><br />4. Perhaps people's preference for cleaning toilets accounts for the recent finding that toilets are typically a lot more germ-free than kitchens!<br /><br />5. Marmite is not eaten here except by a few weirdo xenophiles and/or expatriates. I have to go to the imports section of the largest grocery store around to find it. <br /><br />Actually, I started out by eating Vegemite, having been introduced to it by my Kiwi/Aussie friends in Norway. Didn't try Marmite until recent acquisition of English BF. This week all my friends keep proudly referring to having tried it!lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02417223386917662430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914415.post-1089056291857752942004-07-05T15:38:00.000-04:002004-07-05T15:38:00.000-04:00Bah... dishes...

(ok, I can't back that one up but it's definately up there near the top of the list of worst chores that have to be done around the house.)<br /><br />Don't you eat Marmite in the US or is it just that you prefer Bovril?<br /><br />mmmm... Marmite & cheese on toast... I'm off to find something to eat (that dosen't generate a lot of dirty dishes).Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984460027653978210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914415.post-1089047505583339542004-07-05T13:11:00.000-04:002004-07-05T13:11:00.000-04:00Drat!

I need to bring you out here to help me build my cat coop.<br /><br />I can't wait to move into a place with a dishwasher!<br /><br />I didn't know you knew how to knit. You probably got your recent fit because I finally took my needles out the other day -- haven't had them out since we moved here in -- what, February?<br /><br />There's a new knitting/coffee shop here that I must try soon.argotnauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084344933892371729noreply@blogger.com
