magidThanks to Queue for the pointer: directions to crochet a Lorenz manifold. I might try doing it sometime, as if I have time and all... And there's the question of where I'd put something that's that big. Still, it's very cool. And I like that the ripples I thought should be able to be used somehow when I was first learning to crochet actually model interesting things.
I have an alpaca sweater I just snipped the shoulder pads out of. Oddly enough, the shoulder pads are covered in navy alpaca knitting. Anyone want to unravel them and use the yarn?
I drank my first martini! OK, it was a girly martini (tiramisu martini), but it came in a martini glass, so it counts. I'd never have bought it myself, not at $10 a pop, but the work $holiday party was yestereven at Vox Populi, where they feature such things. Also, much Latin-esque verbiage on their lamps and bar; I wonder if Cnoocy could read it, or it's a total fake? (My Latin being far too rusty to try.) Overall, I still don't understand why people spend so much time at these sorts of places, but it was interesting seeing a completely different flavor of work holiday party, compared to $previous employer's (theirs are much more staid, a Friday afternoon in a hotel ballroom rather than an early evening in a trendy bar).
