Progress

Tuesday, November 28, 2006

Only 5 half-fingers to go and the Mermaid Gloves are done.

Thumb gusset is much neater the second time around.

And remember this, the Capelet Sweater? A snail's pace progress, but progress nonetheless. I had to frog back a few rows and thought I'd try it out while it was off the circulars. Pardon the shitty lighting and the wrinkled shirt underneath.

Ha! That looks like ass! This should have been finished a long time ago, as it's just mindless straight stockinette done in the round. I'll try to get it done before 2007.

So I caught my first episode of H3roes last night after hearing all sorts of buzz about it from friends and family. We were without cable tv while in Santa Fe so we missed all the premieres. So I'm watching this show and suddenly I sit up and scream, HEY! What are you doing there you?!

This dude. I know him. We graduated from the same university. From the same department. With the same degree. OK his degree is actually much beefier than mine but you get my gist. We come from the SAME PLACE.

And we're both ASIAN.

But I'm not on a hit show now am I.

How random is it to be a CGI programmer and an actor at the same time, and how annoying is it to be so successful in both? If you were nice and less greedy you'd pick just ONE THING to be amazing at and share your other talents amongst the rest of us normal folk. He'd probably be the most fabulous knitter ever if he gave that an afternoon's effort. Ugh! I hate him! What with all his walking around all day using all sides of his sickeningly gigantic enormous moist brain. You suck!

I think what's most impressive here, though, is how you're not bitter at all. I'm impressed. ;-)

Whatever, he may be able to simulate water on a computer and simulate sheer adorable on screen (come on, how is he not completely precious?), but you can simulate fish scales out of string. I'm more impressed with your gloves, frankly.

Are you sitting down for this? He's also in People Magazine as a hot newcomber dude....in the sexiest men on the earth thing.

That's weird...someone I knew in passing in college is on that show too. She has a small role as a friend of Niki's. I didn't recognize her at first, just her name. Funny...

Well, if it's any consolation, I saw one of my best friend's commercials during Heroes last night. The Capital One commerical...he fire extinguished the dad. He's Asian too...well so am I. But I don't have a commerical.

He's my favourite character on Heroes...and I am addicted to that show!!! Great work on the mermaid gloves. I recently discovered the Pomatomous socks...I love that pattern.

I'm a tad confuse...is it real jealousy or plain sarcasm you're expressing? Because you rock in your knitting...and I bet he can't even learn how to cast on. ;-)

Ugh, I hate people like that, they're so irritating! There was a guy that I went to school with who was so perfect, 4.0 GPA, hot girlfriend, president of every society, etc...It's enough to make you want to punch them.

I'm sure he'd suck at knitting though, and if it's any consolation, I saw that show once and thought he was super annoying!

Li, that is SOOOO WEIRD.

I was completely wasting time on Wikipedia last night and looked up all the people who went to Brown. It linked to this guy and I recognized him. But I'm not sure if I recognize him from tv or from the CS department. Freaky.... last NIGHT. Weird timing, don't you think?

Oh it's not fair! Some people get all the luck don't they.

It's hard to hate him though since he's sooo good! Oh that just hurts too!
