We interrupt your regularly scheduled Melo...

I decided to post something here, just because I can. Booyah! It's a cool, sunny day here in Bloomington today. It's a lot nicer than yesterday, when it was cold, rainy, and even snowed a little bit. To a Texan like me, snow at the end of March is still a strange, strange concept. I'm told that it did snow in Waco on Easter Sunday last year, though, so I guess it's not out of the realm of possibility. So why is this random friend of Melissa's posting on her blog about the weather, you ask? My answer is threefold: 1) Because I can. 2) Because I'm bored. 3) Because I knew you'd read it. Alright, I'm done. ;)

obama on the tonight show

He makes it so easy to love him.

happy st patricks day

this post has nothing to do with st patricks day, i just wanted to say that.

I started doing twitter a while back, and have not really found much use for it. i post some silly haikus on it sometimes... what is it supposed to be used for? I think im just too web old-school.

Hmm, some links...
I love looking at old photographs, and Shorpy has some of the coolest old pictures in very high resolution. I love finding pictures of fashionable ladies and very serious looking children.

The St Petersburg Times has set up a website to track President Obama's promises that he made on the campaign trail. So far he's doing pretty well!

knitting projects

I've made a lot of projects and never bothered to take pictures of them. Here are a couple of hats, the one that I am wearing I just finished.



The baby is not mine, she belongs to Dan and Jackie.

links, monday edition

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.
