That's right, some parts are missing!!! I took this political IQ test and did much better than not only most Americans, but better than people in my age group as well. This is the link to that test. Take it and let me know how I did. I didn't cheat, and didn't take my time as I should have. Two of the three I got wrong I should have gotten right and feel stupid for actually getting them wrong. Oh well, take the test and let me know how you all did!
This is by far my new favorite web site. Trailer Addict has tons of movie trailers in high def. Great way to keep up on what is coming up, and what you might like to add to your Netflix queue! Here is the new Star Wars movie trailer:
I just realized I didn't knit at all today. Usually, I sit down at some point and just chill and work on a project, but somehow, I got busy and didn't.
But I did start planning my next projects. I know a few of the gifts I'll be working on for the holiday season already, and so I was sketching those out and picking out colors. And then a few days ago, I drew a beautiful project of what I want to work on for myself.
I'm behind on picture taking - my ravelry profile isn't quite up to date with my 3 latest projects. I did get a bunch of the stash photos I took last month up, so that's closer to accurate (although my last Knit Picks shipment isn't in the list yet). I still need to get the perfect ribbon for my cami, and maybe I'll find that this weekend. I'd like to go to World Market for something, so maybe I'll hit the Michael's on that side of town to see what selection they have.
So right now, I'm working on a lace wrap of my own design, and finishing my jaywalker socks. I'm not sure what socks I'll work on next after these are done, I have several skeins waiting for me to pick a pattern for them.
I've got a few knitting books right now that need to be recorded and returned to the library, too. I hate to give them back sometimes because I'd like to keep them around, but I know these ones have waiting lists.
This is really random, and it's been a while since I've made this scatter-y of a post about anything, so I think I'll click Save before I change my mind!
Yummy pop (soda) for being only 10 calories! I think we got them at World Market. Cool. :)
Here is a great video of a car that could be available in the United States by the end of next year!
I'm a fan of all things Joss Whedon does (like Buffy), and people have been talking about Dr. Horrible for a while now (including Joss himself). It's his project from during the writer's strike, and the first act was unveiled today.
I had a hard time getting the site to load, but they switched servers and we ended up watching it on E's computer. Hilarious! I can't wait to see the other two acts later on this week. You can get it on iTunes, too. Here's the trailer for it, if you haven't seen it or heard about it yet.
Enjoy!
Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.
Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.
In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.
The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.
You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.
And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)
My neck was hot working the sale my first day. So i wore it up for the longer day of selling books. :)
Seriously. You know it's got to be lunacy when even my ten year old kid points
out these crazy bastards he's seen on television. I had no idea
who Rodney Howard Brown or Todd Bentley were until my son pointed out that
they were crazy as fuck, rotflolcopter, hands down (actually up...),
certifiable, mentally insane people taking up insane amounts of time on on Christain television. What's he doing watching that? He's getting entertained, just as you would at any circus side show with a bunch of freaks performing. So, if your one of these idots, don't blame me when my kid points at you and laughs. Your doing it to yourself, it's not passing judgment. A train wreck is what it is, as is a freak show.
Drone Ambient group from Austin, Texas. Their music is both dark and lilting at the same time. A great group to sit back and relax to, or play as background music, especially at night or early morning while talking to friends. Very non-intrusive. This is not fast paced music. Give it a chance to morph and evolve.
