I’m furious.

It’s election time, the small kind, local politics.
I try to be and remain an informed citizen, actually using my right to vote, and doing this informed.

This is where the rant comes in: I don’t fecking want to vote on any of the parties out there. I spent three hours listening to them talking about things they either didn’t care about, or didn’t know anything. Most of it was guesswork… and this annoyed me, people should at least do their reaserach before they try to convince me. I don’t want people like that running anything.
And… this is the big part, they contradicted themselves, all the time.
One of the parties in power, that allowed some awfull commercial shit (glowing poster towers) to be planted everywhere in the city actually complained over the bombardment with useless information people have to endure.

Another party complained over the cost of every public service and that there isn’t enough cash to do anything. The same people that forced trough some tax-cuts, big ones, two years ago. And yes, they promise to give even more cuts if they win.

I hate them, politicians. Contradicting themselves, and making me not want to vote.
I hate the system, and the people in it.
Shite.

-at least I got some knitting done listening to the utter bullshit.

Two quickies for today

1. I’ve been bitten by a hamster. Not mine, but a friends, she’s in Dublin, and I’m not. So among the mountain of boxes is a hamster in a cage. She’s clearly not happy with this (or me, or something) and bit me.
Pictures of the furry little thing will come. Later, when I’m not mad at her any more.

2. I found myself in the news today. Look at the picture in this post at the official ravelry blog. Find me almost in the middle at sixth row from the bottom (the darkish pic in the middle) Fun.

The newest knitty is up!
I should be reading about genetics and atoms, not drooling over Coachella, I’ll wait a couple of days before finding and buying the yarn for it. The construction of it is going to make it look great on me. Pretty in the back while covering and drawing attention towards the chest. Love it.

My thing for socks published in knitty is stil there ‘Vog on in toe up version jumped ahead on my list. I even have the yarn for it.
Coupling looks drool-worthy as well, but uses a thicker yarn, the only reason their not on the list as well. Yet…
Sweatpea actually has yarn in the stash as well… purty.

Sophie is the pattern in this issue that makes me think. It’s probably going to be a sweater when I make it. Long sleeves is one of those things the climate around here calls for most of the year…

I’m dreaming about ravelry, and that’s before I’m even in, maybe it’s a good thing, all things considered?

But I had a peek at it today, and… WOW!

a qick little link from Dagbladet.no and a little more on the exhibition.
