Totally Lost I love Lost. I'm so hooked, I keep my Wednesday nights clear so I can watch it. EW has a great blog on Lost, and while it might not be as home grown as some other Lost blogs and forums, its a one-stop shop for me. Jorge Garcia aka Hurley aka Hugo, has a great blog. It isn't completely Lost oriented, a lot of it is just stuff going on in his life, and its very entertaining.

Why Would You Knit That? As my interest and skills with knitting has grown, so has my list of knitting sites that I frequent. This is a pretty funny one, I wish they would update more often, but who am I to complain?

Another knitting site I recently discovered, and love, is Ravelry. If you knit or are interested in starting to knit, I recommend that you become a member. Its free, and its an awesome community of knitters. There are a ton of free patterns. I just finished a hat that came from a free pattern from Ravelry. I will be posting some photos of that next.

starting off with my indulgences

Cuteoverload What a surprise, a chick who loves Cuteoverload. I can't help it, pictures of bunnies and hamsters, it helps me get through the day.

I can has cheezburger Same story, cute pictures with lolcaptions over them. All of the sites on the LOL Network are pretty funny.

Cake Wrecks I love pointing out other peoples mistakes. I do and its very annoying. I try to keep my comments to myself, but as people who know me know very well, I'm not very good at it. So I love this site. I often laugh to the point of crying when someone writes the full order slip on a cake, or spell congratulations "Congradlatons" Priceless.

this is what happens when I'm content

When I enjoy hearing my President's voice on Morning Edition on my way to work, I become too pleased to post. Obviously, one look at my blog categories shows my bias towards politically driven posts. To get myself back on track I'm going to start posting some of my favorite sites. I have a pretty large bookmark file and its time to unleash them. I have added a few new things to the side navigation, changed a few things around.

Late Show - Tribute to "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches"

i am gonna miss the funny. until i hear President Obama do another press conference. He is music to my ears.

Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.

I'm over the moon happy that Obama is our new president. I'm almost as happy that Dubya is not. Former President W. Bush. What a beautiful name.

What a beautiful day. It was so wonderful watching the inauguration, so many happy, overjoyed people in audience. This is truly a celebration. The nightmare that was Bush's presidency is over, it can only go up from here. I know we can't expect the world from one man, but after what we had to put up with for the last 8 years, a dead bird would've made a better president. At least the dead bird would've just smelled. A dead bird wouldn't have put us into an un-winnable war and let his other bird-buddies profit off the middle class of the country. A dead bird wouldn't have set our reputation back with the rest of the world. It would've just laid there, dead.

I am optimistic for our future. Hopefully someone buries the dead bird.

And I'm sorry about it. I spent the majority of December knitting and knitting christmas gifts and now im wishing I had taken photos of them to post. I'll start taking photos, esp since I got a new camera for christmas from my very thoughtful boyfriend. I will post a few photos from the holidays to make up for the lack of posts.
