Hey, look - I finished my gloves:

Not too shabby for a first attempt, I think. Now, because I am nothing if not overly confident in my own yarn crafting abilities, I am going to make these. And oh gosh, the needles are tiny. Which is kinda fun but also a little disconcerting, because I bought bamboo needles this time (I had a coupon and wanted to try them out) and it feels a little like knitting with very long toothpicks. I keep worrying that they'll break.

(Eventually, the obsession will fade somewhat and I'll stop posting quite so much about knitting. That day is not today, however.)

So, I tend to hoard candy, as I have probably mentioned before. Thus, I have eaten very little of my Christmas candy. Today, I pulled it out and looked at and found a little tin that said Zombie Mints. I love mints, so I had one.

I wish, before I had done so, that I had noticed the smaller writing that said "brain flavor". Because they are. And, not being a zombie, I am not actually that into brain-flavored candy. Especially when I am expecting mint.

The tin's cute, though.




ETA - To clarify: I have never actually eaten brains and thus don't actually know what they taste like. But the mints taste unpleasantly meaty in a way that I don't immediately recognize as belonging to a meat-product I'm familiar with. And which is also wholly inappropriate for candy.
