Okay, now I have Semagic (the widget I use to post to my LJ) up and running on The Shiny New Laptop. (It's red.) I know that some of you are getting tired of the laptop being shiny and new and red, but you're just going to have to deal because it was expensive (and ALL THE KEYS WORK THE FIRST TIME I HIT THEM!!!) and expensive things take longer for the shiny to wear off of them.

Special for my cousin Heather: The socks are done. They are totally done. They have elastics. They have sewn-down sleeves for the elastics. They have all the ends woven in. They are, at this VERY MOMENT, soaking in their first-ever bath prior to blocking into final shape. Please stop making fun of me about the socks not being done yet.

Full disclosure: it has taken me more than a year to get the damn socks done. I am not a fast knitter nor am I a dedicated knitter. My head has been turned by other projects and activities (4-H state CTR, anyone? Roxxor, I say unto thee. It's been a good year...) and I have been unfaithful to the HoHI. Probably some mockery was deserved. Probably I deserved less mockery than I got, but anyway... I have finally fully finished the fucking socks.

Persons attending the get-together this weekend at the House of Nadz will be able to view the socks in their finished glory. I'm sure everyone there is just as excited as I am about this. :)
