My name is Earl
Sep. 2nd, 2010 08:24 amI don't know why, but for some reason all hurricanes talk like CATS from Zero Wing.
Eastern US: What happen?
NOAA: Somebody set us up the storm. We get satellite imagery. Main screen turn on.
Eastern US: O_O WTF.
Earl: HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN!!! ALL YOUR COASTLINE ARE BELONG TO US.
Yeah old meme, but it certainly makes hurricane tracking amusing. At least post Earl the weather will be far more reasonable, eh?
Speaking of which, off to spend the day hiding from the blazing day star at work now. Ahhh central air.

Sep. 2nd, 2010 07:38 pmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. I need to have a craft-related first world snit for a few minutes. Here's my problem. See this picture?
Yes that's me five and change years ago. Egads, my face was round. ANYWAY. Beside the point. Look at my hair. I really really REALLY want that particular sort of red/orange/purple multicolor again. It was kind of my signature color. Trouble with multicolors is it seems every time I really like a set of colors it disappears. This happened with the rainbow Red Heart I started initially braiding my hair with back in high school. (And don't get me started about the closest one they make now, 'Mexicana.' IT'S NOT THE SAME OKAY THE COLORS ARE OFF.) It happened with the green/blue/purple lots I used to wear a lot too (the skein I've got is too desaturated for my liking. ETA: that one was called "Gemstone") And now I can't find this. It used to be friggin' everywhere five years ago - Caron made it first (that's it in my hair, I think) and then Red Heart made a not quite as good version and then it vanished. Back when I had dreads it didn't matter so much cause I wasn't braiding yarn into those. But now? I can't find it and I'm LIVID. I even hit Webs this afternoon cause they're open late on Thursdays. Believe it or not I found ONE hank of yarn that was PERFECT... but it was baby alpaca and while that would feel amazing in my hair, I don't feel right about dropping $12 on something that's going to eventually get thrown out. Plus it was one skein in an entire warehouse - once I get through with it, I'd be back to square one.
ARGH.
If any of you "I make things with string and needles" folk spot anything similar to what I'm describing, holler, cause yeah. GRR and stuff.
Was not a totally wasted trip to Webs, even if I didn't buy anything. I did have to research an upcoming project and I ran into an old friend while I was there, so meh. But I am MAD with the FRUSTRATE right now.
