The Big Bang Theory is my most favorite show ever! I love the geeky t-shirts they have the cast wearing on that show. I've been meaning to (for a while now) figure out where all those great shirts come from. Well, somebody did all the work for me. Check out
SheldonShirts.com. Not only have they tracked down where you can get some of those cool shirts that Sheldon (and Leonard) wear, but some of the other cool things that have been in the show. They also have links to get other great geeky stuff, too. Thanks guys at SheldonShirts!
In a related vein, you can follow the show's characters on Twitter. It's kind of amusing. Here's links to their profiles:
Sheldon,
Leonard,
Penny,
Raj,
Howard and
Leslie Winkle. Funny stuff!

I just found out that
Apocalyptica is going to be playing at the Ogden Theater on Monday night and I don't know of anybody that would go with me. Damn, damn, damn it!

My friend
Marly (from the
YarnThing podcast) designed the cutest hat pattern that was published in the current
Holiday issue of Knit Simple magazine. The minute I saw it, I knew I wanted to make it.
I've been trying to get it on the needles for two weeks now. I finally wound my skein and decided to cast on at my SnB meetup on Tuesday. Well, I got down there and guess what? Forgot to bring my needles. I had swatched earlier in the day and they were still sitting by the recliner. D'oh! I contemplated working on something else, but I really wanted to make this hat, so I bought another set of circs (I needed size 8 DPNs anyway to finish it) and set off. Well, I'm wishing I had waited now. Even though I tried to cast on as loose as possible, I think the edge is still too tight. I really should've used a bigger needle to cast on. *sigh*
Then I did a complete goober move when I was home and wanted to show Marcus what I'd started. I put the two inches I completed at SnB on my head and proceeded to pull half of it off the needles. Yay! I love putting stuff back on the needles. (NOT!)
Well, we'll see shortly if I need to frog it and start again.

Thanks to this crappy economy, nobody else is hiring right now. So, a couple of weeks ago, I swallowed my pride and basically begged to keep my job. Even though I hate what I do everyday with almost every ounce of my being and it gives me nightmares and insomnia, it's better than being unemployed, especially right before the holidays. I've made it my own personal policy not to discuss anything with my supervisors ever again. If I tell the truth, it gets used against me. I'll show up for work, try to do my job despite being untrained and using poor equipment and leave. No more going above and beyond. It's obviously not a trait valued there.
I know that I need a change, though. Here I sit, after three whole days off from work, still so sore that I can't stand up straight and my feet hurt so bad I can barely walk. Nobody should be made to work 12+ hours standing on a hard concrete floor. Granted, my being obese factors a lot into the pain I'm experiencing, but even my skinny co-workers go home being so sore they can't move. Not cool.
Business is also down. I wonder if any of us are going to have a job in the long run there. We'll see, I guess.
I'll be honest that the things going on in the world right now have me majorly concerned. Makes me wonder if anybody else has read Atlas Shrugged. The United States is becoming a Socialist country, one piece at a time. Personal responsibility and accountability are nonexistent. Everybody is looking to the government to solve their problems (created by that same government, mind you).
I'm wanting more than ever to move somewhere where I can become self-sufficient, life off the land and totally check out of this madness.
