Adventures in ribbing

As I write this post Kara, her (and my) friend Meredith, and I are singing Karaoke Revolution for the PS2.  Could there be a more amusing pastime?  What is funny about it is we are all singing slouched on the couch and I am blogging when it is not my turn.  We are very relaxed and efficient revolution-ers.  Right this second Meredith is singing "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman".  Darn her, the crowd seems to be liking it.  Just as in American Idol, this game is all about song selection.  Kara is now singing Michelle Branch's "Everywhere".  A song she would never in a million years listen to on the radio.  She is doing good too.  Oh, it is my turn now...

...Aw yeah everybody.  I got a perfect score on "Time After Time".  I had to go with a ringer.  I am song selection queen.

So what have I been up to knitting-wise?...lots and lots of ribbing. 

First, there is Forecast...

This 2x2 ribbing actually goes pretty fast but since the warmer spring weather I have lost my motivation for this sweater.  I still want to finish it and love it but there is no way I will be able to wear it until fall.  So I am okay with a slow pace on this one. 

Next, there is Rambling Rose...

Okay, I am LOVING this sweater.  I know I am only on the back but the yarn is so soft and is knitting up so pretty that I am very hopeful this will turn out well.  I actually just finished the back ribbing last night.  This 1x1 ribbing knit on 1's was not so fast.  It would have taken me a lot longer if I wasn't so in love with the garment it is creating and am really excited to get to the front.  I want to wear this sweater while picking flowers in a field.  It seems like a sweater I could have deep, romantic, and meaningful thoughts in.  That is just how I feel about it.

So I am about to sing the final song in our last round of the game.  The problem is this round is random.  Meaning the game picks the song for you so forget about song selection.  Kara is singing "Pain"—a crap "hard" rock song.  Oh it is amusing watching her try to belt the chorus she doesn't know.  My turn again...

I got..."Play that Funky Music White Boy".  Junk.  This game was mine until I had to sing that one.  Kara won.  I was robbed.

So did you do your best Taylor Hicks rendition of "Play..."? :)

The knit projects look great!

Posted by: Amy | 05/05/2006

That game sounds like so much fun. I should prolly get it for my ps2. What a hoot that would be! That pink knit is absolutely gorgeous. It does seem extremely romantic and at peace. I can totally see why it would be used for rambling rose.

"Time after Time" is, hands-down, 100%, my favorite pop love song. And "Play the Funky Music White Boy" is hands-down, 100%, my favorite funk song. I must play this game.

Those statements may be a wee exaggeration, but they give you an idea of my emotive response to those two songs you mentioned.

Also, (I should say this in an e-mail but I'm lazy so I'll say it here) -- I have worked in garden centers for several years in the SLC area, so I have some experience with the gardening stuff. I work at a software company now, but feel free to ask if you come up with any questions. In addition to my own knowledge, I am still friends with many people who still work in the industry and we are all total plant geeks. Like, it makes our day when someone wants to talk to us about plants. Seriously.
