Uncle Remus: His Songs and Sayings can KISS MY ASS because I am hella DONE with it. I even encoded every single small-cap author name there WAS in the back (there were SEVERAL) and now my fingers automatically go to ctrl+v, even if I just want to type a capital V. You have NO idea how hard that was for me just now.

I have a very long and ugly history with that book. Computers are involved. Also a faceless grad student (I don't even know if it's a boy or a girl!). And now that chapter of my life is closed, /div3, huzzah (div1 is my college career and div2 is my job. That's RIGHT I'm making xml/html jokes. That's how cool I am--i.e., not very).

I want to marry Ysolda's Gretel beret. First I want to marry a girl, now I want to marry the idea of a beret (that seems to be female). Conservative America, eat your heart out. The trick will be getting the beret to propose (I guess I'm just old-fashioned).

Seriously, I don't even know if I'd look good in that beret. I generally look dumb in berets (except those weirdo kangol ones, but those are hella expensive). But all the FOs I've seen lately have been done in MALABRIGO, so holy yarngasm, Batman, I think I have to have this hat. I'm seriously tempted to use the Malabrigo I bought for my mom last year to make this hat for ME, although my mom might look super cute in a beret (not that she'd wear one--it would mess up her hair). However, I don't think I'm a neon-pink-beret sort of girl.

I also can't bring myself to pay so much for the pattern, what with the weak dollar and all. Four dollars is NOT that much, but it is when it could totally be cheaper. Stupid economy, and Ysolda's patterns being ALL AWESOME. I'll be poor and blind yet, just you wait. I'm already a crippled drug addict! Poverty would be a lovely garnish on the poorly-tossed salad that is all my medical conditions.

Now I'm hungry.
