This answers so many questions

My husband and I were joking last night that so much of human evolution happened because of predators, lions in particular, that I had to make a T-shirt.
Why are we bi-pedal? To look for lions in tall grass.
Why are we visually inclined towards pattern recognition? To spot the lions
Why are we so attracted to fire? It keeps the lions away
Why do we tend to remember negative events? Because we remember when the Lions got Jerry. Now let's throw rocks at the grass in case of lions.

Tailor


Laryn's not big on Frau frau dresses but Julian went through all the trouble of making one just for her.

I wish there was a Teapot

Best song ever!

David Tennant will always be my Doctor but Matt Smiths doing pretty well. Not everyone can pull of a fez/bow-tie combo and still look cool while saving the universe.

Productivity

Wow I got things done today. There's still a ton of things that need doing but I found my momentum and it feels great.
I worked on the elsewhere project some more. It really helps to have a clear idea of what a cultures architecture looks like to really solidify how a city is laid out.
Food got preped for the weekend without turning the kitchen into a disaster. Dinner got made before my husband got home and I even got in a bit of exercise.
I've been meaning to start doing yoga for a while, but I've never been flexible enough to do a lot of the poses correctly. Thankfully I've finally found a set of poses that are perfect for an absolute beginner like me. Once I get my flexibility up to par I'll be ready to move on to normal yoga.
I even managed to play portal2 for a while without making my self nauseous.

Cardigans and cable knit sweaters oh my!

I am a sucker for cardigans. Comfy and warm they're like a knitted hug and thankfully at the moment they are fashionable. The reason though may have more in common with the great depression rather than haute couture. The last time knitwear was so hugely popular was the 30's because it was more cost effective to make your own clothes. Guess that explains the 'do it yourself' attitude that’s becoming more and more popular.
Sadly I have neither the skill or patience to knit a full sized garment. I’ll stick with cooking mostly from scratch in a comfy cardigan.
