I-RONY!!!

Not really, but this is cool. I'm watching an In Living Color marathon and the opening sketch of the one on now had one of the Wayans brothers (Shawn, I think) playing Chris Rock when he was on SNL, the joke being no one knew who he was. He asked a woman tourist in front of Studio 8H if she recognized him, and she said, "Oh, you're Gumby, right?"

It was Molly Shannon. At least 2 years before she got on SNL.

That just made my day.

Side business?

I'm attempting to knit things to sell. Nothing overly fancy, just useful things. Scarves, hats, mittens, socks (the last two when I get some dpns), maybe some dishcloths and hand towels. People need dishcloths and hand towels year round, right? If I actually get this off the ground somewhat, I'll start that knitting blog I've been talking about for real with certain pieces for sale.

Right now, I'm working on a simple K2P2 ribbed scarf about 2 inches wide. It's at 4' now. Only 3' more to go! And I have a black hat that someone asked me to make, but I think they forgot about it. If they still want it it's theirs at the agreed upon price, and if not I'm sure I can sell it to someone else.

Of course, in the beginning this will only serve to feed my knitting habit rather than helping pay the bills. o:)
