Please help.
So, on Friday, my roller derby team is having a disco skate. I found a black skirt with sequin/bead details, and I found this VERY disco scarf. I'll be wearing this t-shirt (you can't see the logo, but it's the team tee), the skirt, leggings, and skates. I was just puttering around with my makeup to try for a 70s/disco look, but I'm no good at makeup. I pretty much only wear it for Halloween and Rocky Horror shows. Do you guys have any suggestions for hair and makeup? I tried to make a 70s face here.

That's me in the middle with the green skates. Over on the right, check out Roxanne's metallic purple tights!

Day 7 - My new phone takes bad pictures

Day 7 - My new phone takes bad pictures
Today, I got a new SMRTphone (Nokia X7). It has an 8MP camera, but instead of a regular flash, it has an exceptionally bright dual LED which has to be something like looking into a twin quasar. I don't normally have a problem with red-eye in my photos, but in this case, the red was the most vibrant color in the photo.

Still getting used to the new toy.

Day 4 - Knitting in the break room

Day 4 - Knitting in the break room
Definitely not the same as smoking in the boys' room. I wouldn't be doing that, anyway. I still haven't scraped up the courage to take any photos in the store itself, but that's going to be hard anyway, since I can't carry a purse or bag around with me while I'm working. There was one other person in the break room when I took this, but she was paying more attention to her phone, so I don't even think she saw me.

And the point-and-shoot betrays the fact that we haven't put the fan away even though it's not going to be used anymore.

Day 1 - Late.

Day 1 - Late.
Late, and uninspired for tonight. Late, uninspired, and unable to take selfies that aren't blurry. So I went for INCREDIBLUR and will now sit and think of Day 2 ideas while playing Sims Social. Welcome back, everyone!

New hairs.

New hairs.
I wanted a pedicure, ended up with a haircut instead. For what it's worth, 25 years is the amount of time it takes for me to completely forget that I don't want layers in my hair. I was missing my curls, though. Now I have them back. I think when this grows out an inch, it'll be perfect.

My trigger finger is sore now

My trigger finger is sore now
Yesterday, my landlady dropped off a can of Raid so I can wage war on the earwigs in our apartment. Today, the can is empty and my spraying finger is sore. I moved things, I vacuumed things, I sprayed things, and they'd just better be dead now.

Look who decided to grace me with her presence tonight! She doesn't seem to think it warrants picture-taking and big-deal-making like I do.

7 Days, Day 3 - I got my vitamin D

7 Days, Day 3 - I got my vitamin D
It's after 5pm, so I felt safe to sit on the deck and spin some yarn for a few minutes without getting a burn. If the whole summer stays like this (blue and green and under 85°), I'll be OK with it. I do prefer colder weather, but Darren is adamant about not moving any farther north.

Sorry I didn't do my hair or makeup for today's selfie, but at least I stuck to the theme. I changed the desktop on my black PC to solid black.

Also, Happy Father's Day!

7 Days - Day 1

7 Days - Day 1
Sitting in a comfy chair, listening to the 11th Sookie book, and knitting...while Packet wreaks havoc on the computer desk.

True Blood starts 6/25. I'm so glad the books are so different from the series. It's like getting twice the story.

My mom took this photo, but I wanted to share it on Flickr because it turned out so well and it shows me with my two most favorite men in the world.

7 Days, Day 5 - Make up my mind
What do I want to do with my life? I've narrowed down my options to two: medical transcription or massage therapy. Medical transcription would fulfill my need to constantly proofread and edit everything. Massage therapy would fulfill my desire to ...well, to become a massage therapist. Do I flip a coin, or what?

7 Days, Day 4

7 Days, Day 4
Waiting for an appointment. I haven't made a pair of socks in about a year, I think. My portable projects are all dishcloths now. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. I didn't take a picture yesterday, so this is my catch-up. No big whoop.

7 Days, Day 3.

7 Days, Day 3.
It snew. I started my day by walking a quarter of a mile through a FRAKE ATTACK to the bus stop, riding the bus, disembarking at the wrong stop on the wrong street, walking to the correct address on another wrong street, and then pretty much giving up. I took another bus to Darren's work and took the car for the rest of my errands.

7 Days, Day 2 - DOWN
As in, I'm down with winter. Today, I went down to the bus stop in some snow that was coming down in soft, fluffy buckets. This afternoon, the snow was so fluffy, it looked like down feathers. My alternate plan was to find an OPP officer and have him pose with me, but I'm not sure he would have been down with that.

Complete lack of inspiration led me to perform this trick for you. I don't even know if you can see what's going on. The water was boiling for my enhanced cocoa as I filmed this, so I'll get started on that right away.

I was complaining to Darren a couple of hours ago that my hair was too long. He offered to help with that, so I washed my hair and sat on the kitchen chair. He did a great job!

This is the side of the house that faces west, so this is kind of an exaggeration...but not much of one.

I worked about 6 hours on Wednesday, so I took some pictures around the shop.

Day 6 - Another new project

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 21:48:52 GMT

Day 6 - Another new project
Namely, making a 2-ply yarn out of the blue/green fiber I was spinning all summer. I took this outside and dropped the spindle off the deck rail, which is a terrific way to save time if it's not windy or cold. Otherwise, I'm pretty much limited to plying lengths equal to my own height. Why are spinning wheels so expensive?

Day 5, New project

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 01:19:19 GMT

Day 5, New project
Here I am, rolling around in the yarn (again). Under my hair, I've got my yarn, my needles, and my pattern books. I also have a big smile on my face because it's time to make a sweater!

Day 3: At work

Day 3: At work
I work in a video store...again. Actually, I love this job fiercely. My last job was full of restrictions, rules, standards, and whatnot; with this job, I'm golden as long as I know the alphabet and don't set fire to anything.

Of wool. Freshly washed, sun-dried, wool yarn. The knitting begins soon.

It didn't fit with the theme, though.

I thought she was looking at the camera. Or, maybe she is and I don't know how to aim. Either way, today wasn't an inspired day for photography because I spent too much time in my pajamas playing with the computer and with the rest of the yarn for my mom's sweater.

This was today before Katie had to leave. The weather started out really hot when Katie got here, but cooled down Friday night and was great for Saturday and today. Thanks, Ontario weather!
