I’ve been avoiding upgrading WordPress because the last time I did it I have a mostly-blocked recollection of completely horking up the code and breaking the template and crying tearfully into a Dos Equis.<\/p>\n

So, I’m waiting for my webhost to get the “One-Click Upgrade!” online before I do anything. Argh. 2.5 looks so shiny.<\/p>\n

So I went to L.A. last weekend and had a nice time. I visited Sarah and Bill and Baby Will, and to my astonishment, had a couple of delightful conversations with Bill which doesn’t happen too often; it’s nice to talk to someone who has almost identical political views as you. As a Republican in a fluorescent blue state, that doesn’t happen very often.<\/p>\n

The baby:<\/p>\n

While we were encumbered with the wee tot, there was not a lot of jaunting around, but I did manage a fly-by trip to the LYS by Sarah’s house, Simply Knitting in Santa Clarita. It’s a nice little shop, and they were having a 50% off all the yarn in the store (except the Koigu) sale. I got some ridiculously expensive Prism Saki sock yarn and some Mirasol Hacho yarn:<\/p>\n

\"Mirasol<\/a><\/p>\n

The Prism retails for $35 (!) which is one hell of a lot for a skein of sock yarn, so it better make the Awesomest and Most Hardy Socks ever<\/strong><\/em> in the land of socks. But having purchased it for 50% off, it doesn’t have to.<\/p>\n

The Hacho, above, is just DANGED GORGEOUS, rather reminds me of the Koigu base, but softer. Not superwash but I’m thinking mitts for this stuff anyway. I accidentally bought two different dye lots of the pink, but, eh.<\/p>\n

And now I must go, for the trifecta of perfect (ALL NEW) television is soon upon us: The Office, Lost, and Supernatural. Oh, Thursdays!<\/p>\n

Now, if only Dexter Season 2 would come out on DVD.<\/p>\n
