I would like to summarize, going only by the quotes here:

@keldo: Yeah, I live in LA, so when I see a resume with a picture, man OR woman, my first thought is, "this person is an actor and probably not a serious candidate for the job." I don't think I've ever critiqued a picture, just the presence of one.

@RisaPlata: I just realized the season 18 scarf is very similar to the season 12 scarf except that it just keeps going, so I could just use that as my continuing pattern if I want. Yay! Now I just have to find time. Always something. :)

@kumquat_the_bold: No, that's better because it's true. :) I could try doing that - I'm certainly not going to use all the yarn I bought (and I only got one skein of each color) with the pattern as is.

@kumquat_the_bold: I know the stories about the wardrobe department spending all their budget on yarn, but I thought that was debunked. Is there a better story?

@Nico Coer: He's 5'10" or so? I think. You're right, 15' is a little unwieldy. It's fine as a novelty item, but I'd like him to actually use it, so maybe 10 feet is closer to what I should be aiming for?

@kumquat_the_bold: Yeah, I'm thinking I might keep it on the needle while I try to stretch it so if it doesn't work I can keep going.

I'm knitting my father a Doctor Who scarf for Christmas. I'm panicking because I'm almost halfway through and it's not even 4 feet. I'm using a much bulkier yarn than the pattern says, so I downsized it by 1/3 but now I'm thinking I shouldn't have done that. I'll stretch it when it's done, but I'm a novice knitter.…

@dodo-bajoe: I cry every time too, but I also cry during engagement ring commercials even though, not only do I not care about these people, I actively hate them for promoting the diamond industry.

@Sassy Pants: Marriage is a freakin' scary thing. I think it's normal to be afraid. Have you ever read A Practical Wedding? It's a wedding blog, but it also talks a LOT about the meaning of marriage, and having fears, and combining lives and all that stuff that's way more than just weddings. I highly recommend.

@L-dizzle: Aww, crap. I'm flying back from Providence. And there is no way in hell I'm going through a full-body scanner.

@sushini: And thank you to you and elyseface for nominating me!

Yay! My first cotd! Congrats midwesternmom, BHB, Moretta, AndPreciousLittleofThat! I am humbled.

@sexysecularist: Ooh- BOTH!

@sexysecularist: You're absolutely right, but I'm at work and don't have the resources.

How to Cure Machismo

Funny, this is exactly the outfit that a woman wore at the Los Angeles Rally to Restore Sanity. They had her hold the flag during the national anthem.

"This is what we love about Scarlett: that she's game, that she's good, that she can try on all these guises without seeming to try too hard."

When the boy who cried wolf decided to dress in sheep's clothing, the entire town collapsed into a silver-lined cloud.

@MoonfaerieWaterlilly: Cool, thanks!
