Lois? Not exactly.

Once again, my business has made me neglect vox.

I just typed the most interesting blog about stuff, then I lost it somehow. Now I have to go to class, so I will have to revisit my thoughts another time.

Here is the photo I added to my entry:

Tiny Handmade Book

What is your "bad manners" pet peeve?

Aside from the dreadfully bad manners many public cellular phone-talkers posess anyway, I often hear people saying, "Where are you at?" Could the preposition police please make an arrest??

I'm still around, but crazy busy with school.

Finished (?) last week.

I did go to see The Wrestler Sunday, though. I could ill afford the time, but I needed to get out. Excellent film.

Seriously. Money well-spent.

Why do I ever watch anything on regular television? Slightly off-topic, but still related, I got a great gift this year for Christmas:

 Oh, Ricky, you're so fine!

I'm in a strange fog as I go to work but not to school. That all changes next week when the new semester begins and two weeks later when my teaching starts up again as well.

I'll have to adjust to no more pajama days, no more internet shopping, and a huge change to my DVD-watching schedule.

I've watched a lot of movies, old and new, watched the entire series Extras and the first season of Flight of the Conchords several times. Lots of knitting and crocheting. I should give out awards:

2008 Lois Choice Awards!

Best Holiday Comedy (ever)

Best knitting motivation purchased post-holiday:

Best listening:

Best Buddies:

Happy New Year, Everyone in voxland!

A Facebook friend posted a video of this guy I had never heard of. I looked up some videos and did some searching (no, Eddie, not Wiki) and learned that he won the Dutch Idol. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and clearly, "If You Ain't Dutch, You Ain't Much!"

I just love this for very obvious reasons:

I am a cave-dwelling miser. I admit it. I took up knitting to make myself lots of shawls, scarves and hats, so that when my thermostat is stuck between 55 and 60 degrees F all winter, I don't freeze my tootsies off.

While catching up on some blog reading (like it's mandatory or something), I came across this nifty device:

It's called the Kandle Heeter (copyrighted spelling). The blog that featured it went on and on about it, so I just ordered one. I almost always have candles burning at home, so this just seems like a great idea.

You can order one for yourself at http://www.heatstick.com/ . You can also wait to read my review, but I just know I am going to love it.

You can also watch a video about this device here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9Cml9v7g4A

The inventor of this thing actually put a free tutorial on his site to make one yourself, but I wanted to reward his genius - AND I don't have time.

My heater will be in the kitchen mostly, which sits in the back of the house and at the top of the basement stairs. It's frosty in there! Maybe not for long!

Stay tuned!

There sometimes are no words to describe the abundance of my love for Eddie Izzard.

His legs may be fierce, but it's his MIND that's SO Sexie!
