My friend Nat's ex is moving out, and they were getting rid of their Wii... so DanDan and I jumped at the chance and bought ourselves a Wii for when we move out together. I checked on Futureshop.ca, and a Wii system costs 270$. We got ours for 200$, and it came with a few extra things. I didn't have time to check what was in the box yet. We'll probably set it up later this week.
On another note, me and DanDan are quitting our jobs at the call center. It was tough last year when I was working on my thesis, and this year, with my masters, it's not gonna be any easier. It's ok though, I get payed to study for my masters.
I also ordered 1.1 kg of undyed roving from funwithyarn.com. To be exact, this is what I bought. 5 balls of it, and it came last night. I can't wait to start needlefelting with it. I've got a few ideas already lined up. I'll have to dye it though... that part makes me nervous. I have dyes and a whole lot of undyed wool/roving.... I'm just scared to waste some or to not dye enough.

holy crap an update!
Holy crap. I've been busy. For a while, I had three jobs.
There was the call center.
Then I got a grant/job at university. It's a grant, but they pay you to do research for a prof.... so it's like a job. It's cool though, I'm getting this awesome head start on my masters, which I'll be starting in September.
Then there was the knitting classes over at Cricket Cove, which went well. Three students, two of which had already knitted before and wanted to learn again or wanted to learn more.
Ok, so as promised, here's pics of my hoard over at London-Wul :
And I got some mohair... 500 grams I think. So soft.
And my friend Nat was ogling this fine piece of wool ass:
After a bit of contemplation, she decided that she wasn't going to get it. That's when I sprung up and snatched it. It gets better:
5$! So I got it. I don't know why, I'm really gravitating towards undyed wool lately....
The trip to London-Wul cost about 75$. Ouch. Oh well... that was my first time buying real nice wool, and not crappy cheap acrylic.
I've also been listening to a lot of Weird Al lately.
More to come!
