Knit one, perl two, arrrr!
Knit one, perl two, arrrrrr!

I got an e-mail from Christine, the proprietess of Big Pink Cookie. Apparently she is producing a podcast about knitting called Pointy Sticks.

It occured to her that the song I wrote for the Flying Fish Sailors, Poke You In The Eye, would make the perfect theme song for the program. Being the ethical person she is, she sought permission from the author before proceeding and I, being the generous person I am, gave her said permission.

Episode one and two lack the theme song but her husband Mike (www.coffeecorner.org) informed me yesterday that subsequent episodes will feature my little ditty with all the appropriate credits and sundry hoo-ha.

So yea, it’s not the generational anthem I may have envisioned in my optimisic and glory seeking youth, but it’s still cool knowing that small children and domestic adults alike might take delight in singing about poking someone in the eye.

If you would like to hear the song you can download it here.

Keep on knitting in the free world!

Which way is up?

Cause what matters most is the feeling you get when you’re hypnotized

The latest from the Cynthia collection.

I really took a liking to this fabric when I found it at the quilting supply store in Katy. Cynthia was not so sure.

Little did we know how hard it would be for Cynthia to work with it. The pattern is … wll, slippery. It litterally makes your eyes swim when you look at it and when you are required to maintain a constant focus for the purpose of cutting and sewing the actual shirt it plays havock on your eyes.

Cynthia actually named this shirt “Swimmy.”

Pictures don’t do it justice. The cobination of light and motion is what really sets this shirt off.

Four pics. 1 front, 1 back and two detail shots. Click any thumb to see a larger version.

We have reached the limits of what anal probing can teach us

It’s been very foggy the last two mornings. The aliens used the fog as cover and have abducted my best friend Jim.

Testing new plugin for WordPress

If you’re viewing this on your Lj friends list it won’t be very impressive.
Click the link to bring you to www.baldheretic.com to see this as it’s intended to be seen.

I’m playing with the Lightbox java script plugin. When you click the below image a larger version should pop-up in a “Light Box”…it’s a VERY cool effect.

For the record, after Cynthia had her eyes examined and got her new contacts she still thinks I am attractive…so PPPPHHHHHTTTTTTTT!

Flying Fish Sailors – Live!

Be there or be rectangular!

We play at 4:00 pm for about an hour.

Gadzooks! I need a trim

Latest shirt from the Cynthia collection

Radio Shirt

Detail

Radio shirt detail

Â I like this one alot.

There’s another one complete and it’s a doozy. We have to wait till it’s sunny to fully capture it’s majesty.

Long overdue Dooley update

Dooley is most talkative in the morning before he is fed or gets his morning treat.Â He’s been saying “good morning” quite a bit and using his nick name of “Doodlebug” which I call him now and again. It’s hard to describe but it sounds like “Good morning dootle-buuuug.” He goes real low in tone on the “buuuug” part. He also says “Dootle-bug treat-um” and “I love you treat-um.”

This morning he was making a new sound and I could not immediately place it. Cynthia recognized it after a bit.

You know the choral “aaaaaaahhh” at the very beginning of the Simpsons theme song?Â Yup….

I fear where this is going….
