Thursday Afternoon Rambly Bits

Cider Vinegar: Ideal for Food!

-- A coworker of mine does rock climbing as a hobby. He did a presentation at a lunch-and-learn a while ago about the climbing, and in the midst of it he mentioned how wonderful merino wool is. Since I am currently working in merino (Debbie Bliss Merino Aran, for those who understand what that means) (I'm making gloves that I will post about as soon as I have more than just my one prototype glove), I showed him what merino looks like in ball form (rather than in clothing form). And it made me wonder how frequently people find the juncture between knitters and rock climbers, conversationwise. (It's probably pretty frequent, given the interest both have in quality fabric production.)

-- As discussion of this year's early (11 March 2012) Hugo nomination deadline heats up, I've been seeing a lot of references to "Hugo nom deadline." This made me wonder if it was the deadline for chomping on Hugos. (Om nom nom!)

-- Blechy, rainy weather today. Blech. Still beats snow.

-- Cool video seen on the ABE Books blog: Dancing Books (link to YouTube video)

-- Squeaker decided my outfit today, having rejected the outfit I'd originally laid out. Mind you, this was *my* clothing, not *hers*.

-- Muffin was ill earlier this week, but she's doing fine now. Moral of the story? Muffin should eat blueberries more deliberately and with forethought.

-- There are still two slots available in the handcrafts meme I posted a couple of days ago.

Love the dancing books video, and "Hugo nom deadline" made me laugh. :-D

I hope your weather gets less blechy soon.

-- That is a bit frightening.
-- Neat overlap!
-- Iron is a vital nutrient.
-- Blech, and yes.
-- Seen it but still cool.
-- Hee! What did she object to?
-- Glad the Blueberry Muffin is feeling better.
-- I almost jumped in but was hesitant about my ability to commit to the chain, and felt guilty at the prospect of doing one without the other.

gosh. DangerBoy only gets to pick out my hats, not the whole outfit. Which has wound up with me wearing a floppy gold plastic rain hat on cold windy days, but it's not like our cold days have been cold lately.

Hee! The cider vinegar label might be in reference to the fact that some people (including me) use vinegar as a cleaner. Maybe the label means it's better for cooking than cleaning? Still, pretty silly.
