Captain’s Log, Stardate 12.02.2005

This time it’s Robin’s fault.

Seven Things to Do Before I Die (Lord willing):

1. The salvation of my family and friends.

2. An eating tour of Europe—who cares about sight-seeing? I want to eat the food!

3. Visit the Holy Land

4. Become a successful author

5. Learn to write a book as fast as Robin or Cheryl

6. Learn to speed read

7. Read all the books in my office.

Seven Things I Cannot Do:

1. Eat uni (sea urchin) sushi

2. I am human, so I’m capable of any sin thanks to our sinful nature, but I’d like to think I’d never cheat on my husband.

3. Stop eating potato chips

4. Pass up a free book

5. Stay off the internet

6. Stop coveting more purses

7. Think I have enough books

Seven Things that Attract Me to My Spouse [romantic interest, best friend, whomever](not necessarily in this order!):

1. Oooh, he’s a cutie.

2. He plays volleyball! I love volleyball. Plus he’s athletic.

3. Hey, he’s an engineer, he’s smart

4. He’s got a sense of humor, at least

5. He plays guitar! He’s musical!

6. He emailed me! Hey, it’s mutual!

7. He doesn’t seem like he has too much emotional baggage or a side-life as an ax-murderer.

Seven Things I Say (or write!) Most Often:

1. LOL

2. You know what I mean?

3. Idiot/stupid (usually when driving)

4. Brat (usually at Heather)

5. OH MY GOSH!!!

6. Hello?

7. What—blah blah blah?

12.04.2005 I forgot to add "dork."

Seven Books (or series) I Love:

1. Bible

2. Anything by Kathy Tyers

3. Anything by Betty Neels

4. Anything by Grace Livingston Hill

5. Everything by Jane Austen

6. Ranma 1/2 and InuYasha mangas

7. Harry Potter

Seven Movies I Would Watch Over and Over Again:

1. BBC Pride and Prejudice—heck, most Jane Austen movies

2. Firefly

3. martial arts movies, for the great fight scenes

4. Most old-fashioned musical films, especially Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers, for the terrific dance scenes

5. Bubblegum Crisis, the old one and the new version

This is too hard, there aren’t too many movies I’d watch over and over.

12/04/2005 I can't believe I forgot Lord of the Rings!!! I would definitely watch those over and over again.

Seven People I Want to Join in: (be tagged)

1. Heather

2. Pammer

3. Squirl

4. Mir

5. Mary G.

6. Dream

7. Paula

Knee: The physical therapist kicked my butt yesterday. My IT Band was tight so she massaged it, which was about as pleasant as a bar brawl and just as painful.

I’ve also been getting a terrible upper back ache from the limping and uneven distribution of weight when I sit and stand. Please pray if you get a chance.

Writing: Commiserated with Robin on contest judges who tell you to do stupid things that are completely against good writing craft.

Doing critiques today, after doing so much website work yesterday.

Camy, I just have to say I think you're the coolest. I mean that. Your honesty is a hoot.

LOL, I almost put on my list of things that I say, "Idiot", usually when driving" but then thought, no, you'll end up getting an intervention about love thy neighbor, so I took it off. But, you know, there really are a lot of people who drive like idiots and since I've become a Christian, at least I've stopped flipping them off. Baby steps :)

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...

Mon afghan

Captain's Log, Stardate 02.24.2009 I am extraordinarily proud of this. For Christmas, I wanted to knit something for my parents that would be really cool and personal, and sort of an heirloom. So I took the five family crests I had for my family (in Japanese, a family crest is called a “mon”) and graphed the designs on knitting graph paper so that I could knit intarsia panels of the mons. I knit 5 intarsia panels and 4 plain panels and then sewed them together to make an afghan. In Japan, family crests are carried by both male and female, so I used mons from both my parents' sides. Traditionally, mons are passed down from mother to daughter and from father to son, but there are sometimes cases of a son taking a mother’s mon or a husband taking his wife’s family’s mon and things like that. I know we have more than 5 family crests, but we’ve lost some of them. My mom tried to find them all several years ago, but could only find these five. The fans mon was actually...

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th...
