Nerds Gone Wild (+another contest link)

(Happy Handwork. Go there. Tell her I sent you. That Malabrigo is gorgeous.)

Thought that would get your attention.

But no worries, there's no pictures of puny white boys in glasses running around showing off their Pokemon cards like the whores we all know they are.

This is a really horrible picture, but imagine with me ok.

This is the front yard of the house next door to us. That portion of a stump is the property line. Which is why we never got rid of it. Now, we had some nerds move in next door last week. Seriously. This made me giggle because, no offense, it's nice to have someone non-Mexican on the street again. Honestly. We were the last white family on the block. And I love nerds. But they have an obsession with watering their yard. Ok, I understand that it was a little dead. But I'd swear they're fertilizing it as the grass was nonexistant 2 days ago and now it looks like a case of Jack and the Millions of Smallish Beanstalks. It already reaches my ankle. So Wolf and I decided to try and figure out what they're attempting to make a forest for. And this is just one of the reasons that I love her even more. "What're they doing? Building a little forest for Dungeons and Dragons?" Now, I busted a gut. Seriously. Because I could imagine it. Going out there on a day off and hearing someone yelling from amist the giant blades of grass that they want to be the Dungeon Master. But, let's not forget that I'm also slightly braindead.

And lookie what I got today!

(pay no attention that thing I call a face) It's a Jack Skellington shirt! My darling Zu from Washington sent it to me. It's a super late xmas gift because we're both lazy like that. I haven't even sent hers out yet. Lol.

And I officially hate iPod. Really.
But I still love the people I work with.
Where I work, we make these iPod boxes. That we have to put together. By hand.
Amazing, isn't it?

See that little white shaped slab on the bottom right? That's what we start off with. That crap on the belt? That's what we end up with. Whenever Apple orders these, they order 75,000. That's a lot. We hate it. But it's not too bad.

So yesterday we had nothing to do but set up for 3rd shift so I started making boxes. And thought a brick wall would be fun to put together.
Then one of the guys Emmanuel and I played Jenga with our brick wall. Nothing fell. Thankfully. Because we would have been in deep shit.

Then before we clocked out, we decided to make a pyramid. See the slabs yet again on the table. The legs under the pyramid are Shane's. He wanted to kick it over because it'd be a cool picture. But none of us wanted to clean up the mess, so he didn't. We're lazy like that.

Knitting updates in next post. :)
