Random who info from the f-list & GIP

[neadods]

Probably everyone knows this already, but archived here so I can find it:

I did not know that the BBC has a free TARDIS stencil for making t-shirts. Naturally, people are using this to make their own "Angels have the blue box" shirts.

who_knits, a new community that has taken a chunk out of crafty_tardis (Note: crafty_tardis still in existence) is setting up for a Who scarf knitathon. Plenty of people doing their first knitting project there, so there's lots of encouragement and offers to help new knitters out.

ihasatardis (the LOL Cats comm for the Whovians) continues to be hilarious.


Up early and walking to Who audios is less intensive than getting up and doing interval training for half an hour. It also leaves me in less of an "I want to DIE NOW" state, so this is the route I'm going to keep up with for a while.

Also, have finally figured out why my arm's suddenly aching again - all this exercise. Which means I can stop exercising until the stupid never-was-really-broken thing starts behaving, or strap it up and cut down on the arm exercises. I think I'm going with option 2.

Calling Hillmuth today to discuss car situation. Am really hoping that this won't turn into another 5-day, order-spare-parts-from-Colorado extravaganza. The time it takes to resolve that is going to determine how fast DB goes to the vet for his shoulder; as long as he seems comfortable, I don't feel a need to rush him there.

Have overwhelming urge to spend the next three days in bed with the covers over my head. So much for all those endorphins exercise is supposed to release.

ROFL! The icon is brilliant. 'Cause we all know Charlie is the Master Saxon ;)

I know! I HAD to have this icon the second I saw it!

I'll be getting the yarn for the knitalong on Thursday, assuming I'm close to finishing the pair of socks I'm working on. I've finished four projects in the past month or so, so I figure I'm allowed to start this and the shawl I need for my cousin's wedding, both of which have date constraints.

I've also decided to rip out both of the remaining sweaters and redo them properly...I was trying to knit them in the round, even though the patterns said to knit them flat.

And you might want to fix the strike out in your post, as it makes it look like crafty_tardis no longer exists.

I have a rather clever DVD that takes 1 minute segments and combines them into a workout of however many minutes you specify (limited choices) which I need to start using again.

I'm keeping a weather eye - I'm getting the impression that Knits is slowly killing Crafty TARDIS.

Not sure if I'm going to do the knitalong or not. It wouldn't hurt my scarf or my stash to add to it, but I tend to get very frustrated after a few rows.

Which one would that be? That could be useful.

[evil_plotbunny]

Your new icon just registered. Hee.

I don't think it will kill it completely. There's too much that isn't knitting.

That's why I'm willing to start it at the same time as the shawl (which will be a complicated pattern). I can switch back and forth as I get bored.

The DVD is called 1 Minute Workout: Minna Lessig Total Body Toning. I tried a few of the workouts on the On Demand service from Cablevision, and I found her the least painful trainer of the ones offered.

You can also choose the level of intensity and the area you want to work (upper body, lower body, abs, total body). The only equipment it uses is two sets of hand weights (light and heavy). I think I've only hit one or two segements where I wasn't coordinated enough to keep up.

The only problem I have with it is that you have to run the warm ups and cool downs separately even for the fast track segments.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

I'll bear it in mind, but right now handweights would be the worst thing, I think, considering that just walking is making my arm throb. Wish I *had* broken it, the doctor told me a clean break would heal faster!

[evil_plotbunny]

I should have thought of that.

1 Minute Workout might be a series (I never checked), and there might be one that places less stress on your arms.

Your icon is made entirely of splorfle.

Isn't it just delightful? It HAD to be mine! Very swipeable, with credit to the original warped artist. (There's another one for Seuss fans by the same artist in doctorwho.)

You are a terrible person for posting the who_knits link (and the crafty_tardis as well). Mostly because the userinfo pointed me to dw_cosplay and I can see myself wasting so much time over there.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Didn't know about those, eh? I was a bit surprised that who_daily got their info from me.

[fyrdrakken]

Everything I know about my fandoms I get via my friends list -- it helps to filter out the batshit to mere second-hand reports. (I actually just friended who_daily last week, but on the default view rather than the "No time" filter I've been on. I took a peek at my default this afternoon, winced at the amount, and may wind up losing W_D in lieu of clearing out my friends list a wee bit.) Mind you, the knitting group looks damned recent, judging by the posting dates, so no wonder I didn't run across it back when I was browsing through fandom-specific knitting comms.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, the knitting group is less than a month old. Something like 2ish weeks, I think.
