BRAIN CRAMP

You know bio lab has beaten your brain when you point to the turtle skeleton and identify the femur bone as a lamprey, which is in fact an aquatic parasite that sort of resembles an eel with spiral teeth.

IN BIO LAB, LAMPREY DISSECT YOU
The lamprey is a vertebrate in the class agnatha, the jawless vertebrates, and is studied as a model for the first vertebrates that arose in the Cambrian. It uses its teeth made of keretin to drill into fish, where it latches on and sucks their blood.

The only cure is a plain stockinette sock and hot chocolate.

Project: Tofutsies of the Sea Socks
Yarn: Tofutsies
Needles: 2.25 mm

Out of Context

Today's Out of Context knitting quote:

"I think I like his butt better than I like his face."

Organization

My classes have ended for the semester and it is officially Reading Period, when the college gives students a few days off to study for exams. I am very grateful for the extra time and spent today using the last of my free print quota to print a bunch of knitting patterns I have been stockpiling, updating my Ravelry account, casting-off the first of the Yellow Brick Road Knucks, and, in general, be productive knit-wise.

See the Yellow Brick Road? It will totally make more sense once I get the Emerald City embroidered on the ring finger.

As I was going through the old pictures on my digital camera, I came across this:

It is a post-it note with the measurements for my friend's hands so I may make her a pair of mittens. I do not know where the original post-it is.

It occurred to me that though I am traditionally very organized, my standards might be slipping. That I can not find my stapler I was using to staple patterns this morning does not help. I mean, how can you loose a hot pink stapler within a radius of ten feet? (I do not think I absent mindedly carried it down to the bathroom when I brushed my teeth...)

The fact that my most recent sock pattern was scribbled on a napkin that is being used as a bookmark for DuckTales does not bode well.
