Check out skitch.com. Watch the video. Warning. You’re probably gonna want it! Sorry Windows users, it’s only for Mac. But check it out anyway. Maybe you’ll want to bug them for a Windows version? hehehe
Here. I grabbed something off the Web and tested the annotation tools:
Have you seen Snowball dance? Check out the original post here. You can see a long version here.
Marianne, Moonflower sounds like a dream plant! Huge fragrant flowers (6 inches) that glow under the moonlight. It thrives in poor, dry soil. (Can you believe that?) Just plant and enjoy. You can’t ask for an easier plant! 
And I can just go on Burpee.com and order the seeds! Yippee for Burpee!!! This is making me want to garden again. Just need to figure out where. CB and I used to do more gardening, putting fresh flowers around our unit. But we have a couple of ladies here that think anything on the property is theirs to play with. They move them wherever they want. They throw their old plants in our pots. One of them waters plants with powerful jets that always damage the delicate flowers. The worst is the sprinkling of chemicals on the plants. We just stopped bringing in new plants because they get killed anyway.
Oh Jane, they have Bleeding Heart (which I love too) on Burpee.com. 
And they can be shipped to California! It’s out of season though.
Speaking of growing something…
I am letting my hair grow long. Possibly longer than shoulder length. I’ve never had my hair that long. So, what the heck. If I don’t like it, I’ll just have it cut, and maybe donate it to a charity. Will they take graying hair? Let me tell you something though. I went to the store to get hair product to keep my stubborn hair tidy. Talk about a large selection of stuff. I was totally lost. Oh! And I got this:
SCRUNCHIES! No, not for my hair! I’ll be using these to replace the rubber bands tensioning devices on the Lendrum. Hmmm… but maybe I’ll save a few for later.
I’d better catch up on posting. July spinning guild meeting was once again full of fun. I took the Four Corner Hat in for Show & Tell. Shared the story of knitting it with the group. It felt really good. Again, I’ll let the photos do most of the speaking:
Show & Tell
Fiber Pushers
Chris was plucking the buns again. He he he
L.A. Times reporter came to interview individuals over 50. I think the article was about what people over 50 do in L.A.
Dave brought his huge, motorized drum carder and did a demo of carding and dizzing:
Ruth shot a video of Dave’s demonstration. You can see it here. (Please try your best to skip the first video. Pretty please!) To see more guild meeting photos, go here.
John taught a bulky singles class at April’s guild meeting.
This is what I made:
Not really bulky. More like heavy worsted. Need more practice!
Last time I checked, 48. No, it’s not the physical age of my brain. But an estimate of how old my brain is behaving. Looks like I need to exercise my brain “muscle” to get it back in shape. That’s why I got the Nintendo DS Lite and Brain Age. Something that I can use to exercise my brain power and, ahem, have some fun. Having a brain age of 48 at 40… I need to do something about that. Seriously, feeling that my mind is not as sharp as before bothers the heck out of me.
A couple of weeks ago CB and I hung out at Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica when the cleaning lady was here. It was nice to get away for a few hours.
Last Sunday we celebrated Thai New Year at the temple with a special “hand washing” ceremony.
There was another filming at A Mano yesterday (Wednesday). Time Warner Cable wanted to do a Video On Demand segment of the S&B. If it goes well, it might even appear on CNN. Not a lot of details. But we had tons of fun!
Normally I don’t take these personality quizzes. Why? Probably because I just don’t have the patience to go through them. But this one that I found on Númenna – Nan Annûn had a very nice interface. So I clicked through the questions and in no time I got this result. Not bad I think. 
The part about me being calculating, that is.
