Happy new year!

A cab driver just told me, Kids these days are ove
r nutritioned, all fat and meaty. Heh.

I don’t know why I had this bright idea to crochet a turtle. If you click on the picture below, you can see her somewhat bigger.

Mel is an outcast among the turtles. For one thing, she’s pink, very un-turtle-like. Second, she has two tails, which makes her a COMPLETE AND UTTER mutant. So she gets a bit lonely and sad at times, spending time all by herself, ostracised by the cool and normal turtle set.

I made Mel in parts, so it’s not very amigurumi (well, it’s more because she has no nose so her eyes can’t be placed below it). I had no idea how I was going to do it, but I guess I managed, sort of. She also has a small bag of aquarium gravel inside her belly, so she can function as a small paperweight.

I did loads of reading on this years ago, so it’s heartening to see that the peace deal between GAM and the Indonesian government has taken steps most would never have dreamed possible a few years ago. Let’s hope it holds.

“Zzzzzzz…”

“Hey, you asleep?”

“… mmm? Hmpf. I was.”

“I was just checking.”

I would have argued that no one could know what to believe once politicians got involved: “Now we know Saddam’s aides weren’t the only ones spinning the truth. It’s hard to know what to believe anymore.” — Dr. Germ and Mrs. Anthrax Set Free

This is beginning to annoy me,

but if I get a phone that can send e-mail, it’ll be okay.

And here we go again.
