Otherwise you&#8217;ve only got the Mahna Mahna guy and not the Doo do doo doot! gals.  Tragedy!  And yes, I do know that the Doo do doo doot! gals are called &#8220;Snowths.&#8221;  Now I just need to clear a space off on my desk for it.  Currently, my computer workspace is the horizontal equivalent of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gulliver.cc\/radio\/fibber.htm\">Fibber McGee&#8217;s closet.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also picked up some new sheets, since I could no longer re-stitch the seams on the poor-quality ones that we had slept on the previous night.  350 thread-count cotton sateen sheets for about $50.  Extravagant, sure, but a good bargain for the quality.  The down side?  Even after washing them twice before putting them on the bed, they&#8217;re LOUD.  One of us will go to roll over, and it sounds like someone&#8217;s got their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wisegeek.com\/what-is-a-lavalier-microphone.htm\">lavalier mike<\/a> attached poorly to their shirt.<\/p>\n<p>For the non-AV geeks, it&#8217;s like we&#8217;re sleeping in a bowl of Rice Krispies.  Oh well.  Maybe they&#8217;ll quiet down with time, because there&#8217;s no returning them now!<\/p>\n<p>On the needles:  Devon UK.
