Ghosty

Well, I got my new phone. It's upgraded to 1.6, which unfortunately is as high as it will go. But at least it works good. The other one went out in the mail today, so all should be good.

I've been pricing things. Laptops, cameras, motorcycles. Not that I really WANT to spend all my tax money when I get it... But. My computer is about to die and if I'm going to buy another, I'm getting what I want. I need a mode of transportation, and I can't afford the insurance or gas for a car, so motorcycle it is. The only camera I posses is my phone, which is good, but I can't produce anything professional from it.

I'm also pricing out a vacation to NC. I NEED to go. It's all I can think about lately. So maybe if I can get up there and get it out of my system, it can hold me over for another couple of years till I can save up the money to move there. As much as I'd like Ethan and Terry to go... I really want to go by myself. I don't want to have to worry about being in the middle of a hike and suddenly they're tired and that's the end of the week. So I'm thinking just me, camping and hiking for a week... maybe two. Load up my pack and drive up there on my bike. 301 would take me the whole way, right up through Marion.

My cat just reacted to what I think must be a ghost. You know they have those built in poltergeist detectors. LoL.

Well my house is clean. Finally got that done. I haven't touched the garage which is very scary, but I'll get to that... or maybe I'll try to enter one of those organization challenge shows or something. Anyway.

I got the yarn and am chipping away at Ian's poncho. I should have it done in a couple weeks. Just in time for the fair. Nerd wars started today. I have to finish Ian's poncho first though since I'm getting paid for that one. I still have to FIND the yarn for the projects I want to do. Although now that the categories are revealed I have to re-plan my strategy. Many of the things I was thinking won't quite work now.

Giving geeks - cold hands: I will do world of warcraft mittens (instead of the hats I planned). I want to try and do the horde and alliance symbols on the backs and then I'll donate them.

Nerd culture -nerdcon: I think I will do my River Tam vest. I could definitely see someone wearing one to a con.

Technical - bonding: I think I can get away with doing Jenna's coin purse for this. Especially if I use both regular yarn and felting yarn cause that would be awesome!

Scientific - nebulas

Intellectual - prime numbers

Team Spirit - valentines day

Will all be a little difficult. I could do a non team themed one and make a gryffindor scarf for my own valentine. I'll have to think on the others.
