A pun is the lowest form of humor - when you don't think of it first

Other: Highlights of My Week

• Two airport security checkpoints, 0 minutes waiting in line.
• A TSA agent wished me a happy one-day-early birthday.
• A job interview wearing my Doc Martens.
• Another job interview wearing my angry shoes, but I managed neither to get lost nor to have to walk to make up for a missed bus, so they managed not to get past being cranky shoes.
• Finished two long-in-the-works sweaters.
• Slept through half my actual birthday, since it was after a very long day of travel.
• Got on a Glendale Beeline bus so new, the instructions were still taped to the wheelchair belts.
• Got my W-2 and e-filed my returns that evening. I want my money back from the gummint, dammit!
• Made another costume for my Costume Ball.

Knittin' Crap: Costume Ball

A few months ago, my friend Steve and I were discussing the San-X mamegoma characters, those little seals that would be cute enough except they also have all sorts of costumes. Steve asked why anyone would put a costume on a baby seal. Why, because it's unbearably adorable! Of course! While it's totally absurd, we couldn't deny that it was also absurdly cute. Leave it to the Japanese cute machine to come up with something like that. Steve then suggested a new character: a ball.... with costumes!

So, I'm introducing Costume Ball! And Costume Ball's first gender-nonspecific costume, the sunflower!


Stay tuned as I add more Costume Ball costumes!
