My choice: Jack Huston.

If the democratically elected government of British Columbia sent a petition to Washington D.C. asking to become the 51st state, what should the U.S. do?

Yeah straight needles are for suckers, unless you’re making something small in the round. I’ve got to the point where I can judge a pattern, remove a few stitches or switch to a smaller circular needle to make, say, the body, and knit the whole thing in the round, or if it’s a cardigan, all in one piece. Top down is…

It’s true: left-handed is fastest for flat knitting. I know no way to do lace, though, without doing it right-handed. The stitches get twisted and your pace slows to a crawl.

There are three books that made me the needle-wielding menace I am today:

Full of phytoplankton — and pride.

To ride on a famous name’s coattails, and avoid being sued (if applicable). If possible, ride on the coattails of someone dead and long gone (Shelley, Austen, Brothers Grimm, etc.)

That was worse than I remembered! Who would want even one arrow flying at them?

One incredible fact someone pointed out to me today: Sir Christopher refused to kiss a fellow actor on the lips for the entirety of his career.

Why, thank you. I’m guessing there’s buildings in Europe or Israel or someplace with a piped out system, but not that I’m aware of in North America.

I was dreading it myself, but it’s not a big deal. Scrape the scraps into the bucket (get the one with the little holes in the top), and if you get into the habit of taking it out every couple days, it doesn’t smell at all.

Garburator with a pipe that leads to an automated composter — best invention ever, if someone would invent it.

Sigh. My dream man. The more you learn, the more there is to love. A couple more of his great roles were Flay in the Gormenghast TV series, and Lucas de Beaumanoir, the inquisitor in Ivanhoe: “kneeel!!”

It bears saying again: thank you to everyone in Metro Vancouver separating their scraps in the green bin program, and especially to the Vancouverites who participated in the food waste study.

How happy would I be with either,

What, he didn’t rise on the third day — that we know of?

Because to climb the social ladder, Louis needed a suitable woman at his side. Also, she reminded him of his truely beloved mother (though both seemingly snobbish, patrician females, they end up standing by the men they love, no matter what).

True. There are a lot of options between: a) doing nothing, and z) getting involved in a physical fight. Calming the situation down should be top priority.

No, no. You’re supposed to help all people, if and when they need help, not just because they are women, who used to be presumed to need help at all times.
