(Some sports content, some other content toward the end.)
Okay, now I'm *really* annoyed.
I had posted earlier this morning about being bitchy at FSN Bay Area about the way they kept interrupting the hockey game last night, but the post has just vanished somewhere.
So, yeah. FSN decided that EVERYONE needed to see them shrink the hockey game broadcast so they could do a picture-in-picture display every time Barry Bonds went to the plate.
Kiss my ass, bitches, I don't give a fuck about baseball in general, and most especially don't really care about Barry Bonds and the home run thing. Get a grip, not every resident of the Bay Area is a baseball fan, and when you are already showing the game on an alternate station, DO NOT FUCK WITH THE BROADCAST!
It's a really fucking good thing that there were no goals or anything during those times when they cut away, because I would have called them and bitched rather than sending snarky email.
Raar.
But the Sharks played well, yaay! Here's hoping they can knock the Blues out of it on Thursday night, we shall see.
In other news, I finished two of the three rosaries I'm making for Brett's family. One is a jade/amazonite combination, and the other is lapis/blue lace agate. They turned out surprisingly well, and the lapis/blue lace one is my favorite. I'm also comfortable enough with the way they turned out to consider adding them to my product list. They're simple enough to do, the only problem is that they can be somewhat spendy to make, using semi-precious stones as material. I can easily get around that by using other types of beads, though, and who knows, maybe there are people willing to pay for the semi-precious ones.
Yes, I'll post pictures, but I want to finish the third one first. The third one will be rose quartz and something--the concern there is that the black thread will show through the rose quartz bead. Unfortunately, that's just a side effect of the way the thing is put together. I'd considered using lapis beads in place of the rose quartz, but I was really hoping to get three distinct, separate pieces.
And...when it comes right down to it, I'm not sure they'd mind so much, whoever ends up getting it. We shall see. :)
Hitting the publish button now. If this one doesn't post, I am going to be OH SO CRANKY.
Or, should I say, *crankier*.
