Apparently the way to get my brothers to do something is to start doing it myself and show them up in front of their friends. Sigh. (I am Melle, contstructor of things, attacher of fridge handles, disassembler of Large Unwieldy Desks! (Melle SMISH!) FEAR MEEEE!)
Other things going on in my life: knitting wristwarmers and OMG SOCKZ, poking at the Wingfic and the bunny for the bandom AU ... thing that's rattling around in my brain, as well as the magical knitting novel. Which is a novel about magical knitting, not a magical novel wot knits, cool though that would be.
I've also been keeping up with my blogroll, and, um. Is there a brain-stealing pickpocket (pickskull?) on the loose in the Republican party or something? "Community organiser" is a bad thing now? The hell? (Yes, I know it's dog whistle-ese for "uppity negro rabble-rouser", but still. They had to have known that was gonna get mocked all to hell and back.)
