Middle Cyclone is released. If I said I was giddy with anticipation, it would be an understatement. I have been binging heavily on Neko lately. Honestly, it's a rare week that goes by that I don't listen to Fox Confessor Brings the Flood on my commute home past taco shacks and furrowed fields. It is definitely one of my MY desert-island, all-time, top five. I just bought tickets to her show at Stubb's, man I never go see live music anymore… it takes someone as engaging as Ms. Case to get me to stay out late.

Watch this video on the making of Middle Cyclone, too cool.

Oh, and read this article in the New York Times

Finally a rainy day and the husband’s away… and how I spent it

We've had an inch of rain since Sunday. Where's DH? He's been in Panama with friends, he'll be back tonight.

What I did on my rainy day off… I finally tackled the boxes and stacks of papers that needed sorting and filing. Sadly this meant my office throwing up its contents allover the house. But it's done. The table is now clear and I have finally taken care of something I have needed to do for a super long time. Deep breathe. Now all I need for tax time is literally at my fingertips.

I refuse to end my first post in days weeks talking of taxes, so here is your moment of zen… oh and a hat

This little bugger was trying to get into the black oil sunflower seed. I took this through my window, so the pics are more funny than beautiful. Notice his little arm, too cute.

Swell for Troy

and I am back on track with February Lady Sweater. I decided to frog Twist and use the yarn for FLS. I was starting to worry about Twist fitting after all that work. I think I was knitting it for the size I'd hoped I'd be when I finished… anyone else do that? It's not the wisest approach. So… FLS it is, and it's a fun knit.
