Updating

With the exception of my hair growth articles, I haven't posted much of interest in a few days. This is not to say that I haven't been occupying myself, or not participating in activities of interest.

I spent Wednesday afternoon with a very dear friend, Mr. Matthew Voss. It's been far too long since I last hung out with him, and I regret this absence. So much happens in life, and happens so quickly, it seems absolutely stupid not to spend time with people while you can. Sure, now I'll want to spend countless hours fraggin him in Half Life 2, such is life. Actually, anyone whose watched me play Matt knows....wait...only Mr. Balou ever watched...that the scamp could snipe me from 1000 yards.

Within the world of Visceraman1, I've reworked the Projects page. I have to add a few screenshots of the websites referenced, I'll get to that soon, not really that high of a priority. I'll be changing the links on that page to reflect the software, and people I admire for the design, photography, photoshop and coding skills. The front page links will lean towards those who spend more time writing than tinkering, and humoring than coding. Of course, this now means that my little self indulgent projects will no doubt be posted in two areas.

The knitting? It's probably about time I ask Sweet Jeri to snap a few photos of my porky fingers whipping the yarn into shape. I'd been quite frustrated with my work, would cast on a dozen or three stitches, and when I finished knitting the first row, I'd find that my last stitch was a bit too loose. Seeing this as a horrible mistake, I would rip everything apart and start over, only to have the same results. Sure my moms had told me to keep going, but, no, I'd rip and start over. Friday night at the craft store, I heard again, just keep going. So, I kept going. And it worked. The looser stitch isn't noticeable at all - of course, with as many holes as I've made, how could anyone notice anything else? I also made myself learn how to switch colours, and will have to go back to the store for a needle to weave my ends in. Very exhilirating to finally get it.

I'll remember you said that when I sense annoyance with your endless supply of poor fitting socks and gaudy scarves....

I am the daugher of James J. This means, i know what i have to do to cover my ass, whisk off with that awkward scarf and shove in bag as soon as you can no longer see me through the front window.

I'll wear the scarf - as long as it is black. I would really like one made with that feathery yarn - quite the fashion statement. And stick with it. You can do this.

Just thought I would tell you that no one would ever recognize the mudpie making brat. Her hair was a bit lighter and had no red - I don't think she had pink cheeks and but you might want to add some freckles - not big freckles - little ones and lots of them. The shirt was white with red and blue stripes if that helps. All in all, good job
