I miss both Cartman and Kylie, but Cartman was one of the best cuddling hamsters I’ve ever met. I say this about all of my hamsters because I believe it, but she was special. We bonded as well as a giant scary human can bond with a tiny prey animal, and I miss her terribly.
She …
I love pasta salad, but I can’t stand olives. This means that I can’t eat pasta salad in most restaurants or delis, at least that I’ve tried. I pretty much gave up until I found one salad that worked for me in the deli at the Honest Weight Food Co-op in Albany, and devised my …
“Maybe this whole hamster cam thing is just a waste of time,” I think. Then Cartman gets caught by the camera looking almost unfathomably cute, and I have no choice. The cam stays.
AJ helped me to set up my display at Uncommon Grounds Saratoga. I’m still not super excited about it. I didn’t bring the best fabrics with me, and I think I could have made much better use of the space with something drapier. Not sure what else I have in my fabric stash that I …
We got about six inches of nasty, wet, heavy snow here in the last twenty-four hours or so, and we’re supposed to get more. It’s unpleasant. It literally took me 45 minutes to drive about 100 yards on my way to work this afternoon. People are out of their minds.

Happy birthday to my best friend and furry little sister Maggie! She turned 9 on Saturday. My parents made her a cake. Since the cake contains chocolate and flour, she couldn’t eat a crumb of it, but they told her how delicious it was.
Whenever I hear the words “sugar beets,” my mind flashes back to this “Sesame Street” segment from the early ‘80s. Then the song remains lodged in my head for hours, days, or weeks, until it’s displaced by something less infuriating. Now you can suffer, too.
I blame Abe Sauer for this.
I found my webcam, so we all know what that means!
The present stars are Campbell’s dwarf roommates, Erica Cartman and Kylie Broflovski. Familiarly, Cartman and Kylie.
Behold: my first ever completed pair of adult-size socks. I’ve made one pair of baby socks, but this was more ambitious. I think they turned out acceptable. I wouldn’t inflict them on anyone else, but I will wear them with pride and snuggles.
For the knitters in the crowd: this is all Lion Wool-Ease worsted (80% …
