If you didn’t get to see Share on VH1’s Band Reunited : Vixen last night, you TOTALLY missed out!

Good news is, you can catch it againFriday night/Saturday morning at 2am, Saturday at 3pm and Sunday at 2pm!

Share TOTALLY rocked and represented for kick-ass knitters everywhere!!! I *love* that Aamer busted in on Knit Night at Stitch Café and I love how, when they interviewed Share, there were shelves and shelves of YARN behind her!! NICE!!

If you haven’t checked out her blog yet, I insist that you stop what you’re doing and CLICK ON OVER THERE RIGHT NOW. Share tells you straight up what’s in her head, shares what’s in her heart, and is never afraid to get crazy with her yarn. Whether you dig her patterns or not, you can’t deny they’re wildly original and cool. Simply stated, Share just ROCKS. So check her out. Please

This post actually started out as a reflection on the election. I wanted to speak out about how I feel and how I’ve been in denial or how I’ve maybe been trying to block out the whole thing. I wanted to write about how conflicted I feel around my Bush-supporting friends and how we need to NOT give in to the apathy and denial and FIGHT for what we believe in.

But nothing I wrote came out right. I get so conflicted and angry and confused when I think about it, that I couldn’t write anything. Instead, I’m going to point you — ALL OF YOU – to Kerstin and Carolyn, two OTHER knitters that ROCK — they speak their mind with such strength and intelligence, it would almost be a waste of my time to try to say it all better.

Also instead of my own election-rant, I will share some helpful, semi-election-related ‘research’ that I ‘gathered’ in a recent ‘field test’ on how NOT to hit on a guy:

• Timing and location are *everything*. When trying to pick up a guy, make sure he’s in a situation where he can be receptive to your advances. The call center of a Presidential Candidate, two days before an election that changed the course of history, is NOT such a time/location.
• When a guy is trying to save America from evil, ‘hanging out’ with you because you think he’s ‘witty and kinda cute’ is probably the LAST thing on his mind. Seriously.
• If you’re going to go ahead with this absurd endeavor, for poop’s sake, DON’T WRITE HIM A NOTE!!!!!
• Even though you’ve neglected all of my previous advice and written him a TOTALLY juvenile, 8th grade note, AT LEAST HAND IT TO HIM, instead of leaving it on his desk.
• When walking away from the desk, the note placed delicately on his keyboard, realize that he will never call you, BECAUSE HE HAS NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE!!!! This should be obvious, since you’ve never actually SPOKEN to this boy.
• If you happen to go BACK to the call center, EVER, make sure to write a different name on your name tag, like, I don’t know…LaQuita…so he never figures out that YOU were the idiot who left him the note at a time when you TOTALLY should have been focused on saving Democracy.

Of course, if nothing else, we always have Hamsters in Hats
