Pocket full of random

Traded iPods with a co-worker today, an interesting experience.  Alice Cooper, Backstreet Boys, Ozzy Osbourne, and Barry Manilow make for an odd mix.  I think I've corrupted him with Vanessa Mae.  Hubby got me Alice Cooper's "Poison" on iTunes, one of my favourite songs.

Greek pulse warmers are proceeding slowly, managed a whole two rows at lunchtime today.  Thoroughly distracted by reading (and finishing) the Yarn Harlot's book, which now resides in my portable knitting bag.  Those free lunch bags people hand out at the mall make great knitting bags.  I also have a non-portable knitting bag for bigger projects that lives at home.

Steak and Ale pie is cooking, with Newcastle Brown Ale, leek, and mushroom.  It smells better than the Guinness version.  Am I the only one who thinks Guinness tastes like dry toast?  Recipe will be uploaded some time.

The Wordpress upgrade went according to plan, but I did have to create a new theme from scratch, despite following the upgrade instructions to the letter.  The essential resource was the template tags page on the Wordpress Codex.  Note to self: try and stay less than one version behind the times in future.  It really wasn't that bad.
