technical difficulties...

so i am sure i have mentioned before that some electronic appliance or another seemed to be malfunctioning...constantly...but i don't know if i ever explained the whole thing properly. this comes up because the computer is officially dead. i broke down and made dave call the tech support guys for me...they kept making me do destructive recoveries of the system ie everything goes bye bye and you have to reinstall everything :( and i was sick of it and after talking to the guy for about 20 minutes the guy decides that its the computer, not the owner thats broken. i've been trying to tell them this since september (i got the computer in august) but they never believe me. so anyway its being sent to the magic computer house in the sky where it will be given a new soul. and i'm sad because i have to use the ones on campus or at dave's like i am right now. which i'm surprised he's letting me use it as he i am sure believes i am cursed with all things electronic. see i can't keep a cell phone alive for longer than a few months. very odd things start happening around me. i can't really wear a watch, they don't keep the right time, and i can rarely get anything to work right on the computer. even if i'm doing what i'm supposed to software will not install properly for me. simple tasks become impossible because i have bizarre error messages frequently. its quite a pain in the ass. but i'm used to it. i js twanted to share and let you know that i may be out of the loop until they send my baby back :(
**edit**
one thing i forgot to mention...when my computer died it took all the music on my ipod with it. all my audio books everything. all of it. i want to cry. its going back on slowly slowly. i have about 10 cds back on so far and i'm workin gon getting some of my favorite authors books back on there...sigh...just had to share
**edit 2**
so i also have had issues getting my template arranged the way i like and i think its finally fixed :)

i've heard of this strange syndrome before... crazyauntpurl blogged about her inability to keep a watch, and someone told her about some strange body chemistry vs. electronics issue? sounds like you.

knitting updates

ok, now for a knitting update :) i know thats what you really wanted to see. here are the contents of the sockpalOOOza package that goes out in one week. i am so excited! counterclockwise from lower left: there is a sock tote for her to use the next time she knits a pair of socks, the socks, postits. my favorite way to mark patterns, a card telling her all about her socks, a postcard of longs peak to show where i'm from, a birthday card fror her to share with a knitting friend on a special day, and stitch markers. yeay! i love presents! i can't wait to mail this! and on to current knitting... so a few weeks ago i went down to highlands ranch for the Littleton meetup, i went next door to string to do a yarn exchange. thats like free yarn you know. and picked up 7 balls of this elsabeth lavold sily wool. ooooh. wonderful yarn! i know, there are only 4 in the photo. thats because my italy cardigain is well under way. 2 balls in i just stared the third and i love love love this y...

and a last farewell...before i ripped out sunrise circle i took a parting photo...this sweater was jus tnot meant to be. too many other things wanted to be finished first. soon to come the bad penny 2 that i'm making for my trip to italy!

so much to do!

with only a few days to relax. a trip to the beach turns into a blur of "i just want to sit here" mixed with "but we have to do this too" so several days worth of photos divided into day parts. cause really it is all running together :) think sandra bullock from that movie premonition where the days are out of order...but nobody's gonna die. sunrise: over the ocean. after waking up early not feeling well from a late night out with the family. i took one for the team ad finished the wine...don't do that. not good. i ran the 2 blocks to the boardwalk and over the dunes to the water to get these couple of shots. seagulls and beachcombers are your only company when it's this early! i've never seen so many mussel shells when it wasn't after dinner. midday: on the boardwalk. after the beach you go to the boardwalk to grab lunch at mack and mancos. apparently the best pizza ever. i'm not convinced. but heck i don't really get the wa...
