Nothing better to battle the winter sniffles than some good sleep, warm coffee or tea, soup, and a good movie to snuggle in with on the couch. Of course, happy, sweet pups are good to snuggle with, ... http://ackbar.org/purls/2009/01/07/movie-review/ It's a New Year. I thought I might mention that in case you, the reader, have been living in some hole somewhere and did not know that. Quite possible, I guess, for someone to not realize it's the first of the year.

It was like that dream you have where you're running from scene to scene quickly with everyone you know somewhere in the background.

I fully acknowledge that I was a little crazy in the last post. This is a prime example of when you should not speak, write, etc. but throw yourself into a diversion of some sorts.

I can say this with pretty good certainty because at this moment you are checking my website for probably the one thousandth time expecting no new updates. If it was any other day, but today, ... http://ackbar.org/purls/2008/07/09/catching-up/ Now, I haven't always been the most consistent publisher with this whole website thing, but this absence was simply ridiculous!

In fact, ... http://ackbar.org/purls/2008/04/22/remember-me/ Recently, I started a new knitting project. Jane is always knitting socks and after seeing her progress over the holiday, I thought I would give it another go. I attempted knitting socks one other time, but quit discouraged after the project took on gargantuan proportions. That is, the sock, rather ... http://ackbar.org/purls/2008/01/08/toasty/ The holiday season is coming to a close and the new year blooms, while I sit and ponder if I have lost my following entirely. Now I recognize condom cozies are not kid-friendly nor are they family-oriented topics of conversation, but alas, I made no promises about either at the ... http://ackbar.org/purls/2008/01/03/oriented/ Before setting off for a brief (very brief) holiday interlude, I thought I would attempt to provide you with one more morsel of entertainment. I present to you, the most heinous knitting craft I have ever, ever created. Though some of you may love it, I simply shake my head ... http://ackbar.org/purls/2007/12/22/merriment/
