Patronus
So True!
Ok I'm getting old and it's forward emails like this one that like to point it out. I'm not over 30 yet but this all applies to me. Wish I knew the author of this little diatribe but alas it was not signed. And with no further ado the email.
> If you are 30 or older, you will think this is hilarious!
>
> When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their
tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what, with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways yada, yada, yada!
>
> And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no
way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
>
> But now that ... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't
help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!
>
> And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good
you've got it!
>
> I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we
wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
>
> There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter
...
> with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street
and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!
>
> There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you
had to hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
>
> We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the
phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!!
> You had to pick it up and take your chances mister!
>
> We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like `Space Invaders' and `asteroids' and the graphics sucked! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever!
> And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and
harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
>
> When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed!
>
> Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like
15 channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your a$$ and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning.
Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little @#$%.
>
> And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up
we had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire ... imagine that!
>
> If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing
and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.
>
> That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it
too easy. You're spoiled!!!!
>
> You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980! Oh yea,
and a seatbelt was Mom throwing her arm across your chest every time she hit the brakes.
Now for a visual on this point:
This is a screen shot of The Empire Strikes back a game I used to play on Atari.
This is a Game Play video of the brand new Star Wars video game for PC and other consoles like PS3 or something.
The contrast makes you want to check for grey hairs doesn't it?
I checked last week but out of superstition I'm not going to mention if I found any yet.
Have a nice day!

Dexter Swap Package Received!
OH my oh my! This was totally worth the trip to the post office to pick up! I missed the delivery yesterday while at the park with my little monsters! You have to exercise monsters thoroughly everyday or they get grumpy. :) I jumped in the car grabbed a key and ripped open the box but what did I see? Some fabulously and creatively wrapped packages and I couldn't open them without photos so when I got home I took this photo.
How cool is that they are wrapped in red tissue paper with plastic wrap ontop and each has it's own label with a quote from the show! Now the photos in order of my unwrapping them with the clever little quotes that insipred each item!
Oh yay yay yay! The yarn the bag the markers the SCRIPT! Oh my! I don't know if anyone knows this but I only get star struck by writers as I imagine myself as being a published writer one day so a script oh LORD! question though the signature is all messy like most signatures who signed it? But that doesn't matter! Eeeee!! I'm so excited. The bag is so well made! I hope I can do as well on the bag I'm making my pal! It has 2 inside pockets 2 outside pockets and a magnetic snap! I will so put all my knitting stuff in this right away! Oh and the yarn colorway is called Ice Pop! hahaha! Awesome! And I've wanted that pattern for so long! And I can't wait to try out those needles I've never seen those kind before! Yay! Thank you so much Michelle! She doesn't have a blog but you can go by Ravelry and give her a big old pat on the back because this package sure deserves one. She is mleah on Rav. :)

Vacation Time!
I'm off to San Francisco for 4 days! It's supposed to be in the 60's! Oh lord how fabulous! Just the weather will be a relief! We are going total tourist! I never get to do that, always going somewhere off the beaten path and this time it's Alcatraz and fisherman's wharf! Oh yeah baby! And even if I have to sneak out in the middle of the night I want to go to Artfibers. It's so close to my hotel I will be able to smell the wool from my room! OK I need to pack!
