Tetris quilt is done, for reals!

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

standing on the couch to display it I will use it as a cape delicious nerd quilt I made this here quilt closeup2 close up1

I finally finished my Tetris quilt this afternoon. For a couple weeks all it needed was the edges to be hemmed and I avoided doing it for no particular reason. I took care of that today, so now it is complete. Pieced together, sandwiched with all three layers, quilted to stitch the layers together, and finished all around the edges. Quilt: complete. I think I will wear it as a cape.

Update: yes, at some point I’ll get around  to reposting the pictures in a size other than gigantic.

My friend Matt (8:16:19 PM): can you read minds? but minds in the past. not like Otto von Bismark past, but mine earlier today. because I need to know what album I wanted to download at around 5:15 today
Me (8:18:56 PM): um… were you downloading the latest red hot chili peppers?
Matt (8:20:07 PM): whoa
Matt (8:20:14 PM): no but it was blood sugar sex magik
Me (8:20:40 PM): are you serious?
Matt (8:20:42 PM): thanks!
Me (8:20:59 PM): you were actually downloading something from the red hot chili peppers?
Matt (8:21:54 PM): well see I was in the car and under the bridge came on and I thought “I should download this” but then when I got home all I remembered was I wanted to download something
Me (8:22:21 PM): and all i thought was “it was probably rhcp”, so i figured it would be the newest one.  i don’t know the name of the album
Me (8:22:31 PM): i really am psychic!!!
Matt (8:23:17 PM): anyway that was much more helpful than brandon, he just said dicks

Also, before the Super Bowl I thought the score would be 35-17, although I didn’t know which team would win.  I told a few people so I would have proof that I was guessing that score before the game even started.  The game ended up being 29-17, and if the Colts had been able to push through those final 10 yards in the last couple minutes it would have been 35-17 (Adam Vinatieri would have uncharacteristically missed the kick for the extra point, of course).  So I was pretty close, really, and got at least one of the numbers correct.

Ah, shopping…

I bought a sleeveless shirt and a swimsuit top at Old Navy today with a gift card I got for Christmas, and I still have $11 left.  I didn’t buy the swimsuit bottom to match because there wasn’t a size that fit very well.  One size was a little saggy in the butt and loose on the sides, while the next size down fit well through the hips except didn’t cover all of my behind in the vertical direction, exposing a sliver of butt crack.  I’ll probably just wear it with a basic black bikini bottom I already have.  Ok, that bottom half isn’t even a real swimsuit, it’s just some black Body by Victoria Victoria’s Secret hiphuggers underwear that I wear to the pool.  It’s similar to swimsuit fabric and the swimwear police haven’t stopped me yet, so I think I’m ok.

Shopping is so much fun, especially when I don’t need to spend any money.
