			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really need to read that book Sewing for Dummies. I have come to the realization that I really suck at sewing&#33; My mother makes these things look easy. I really want to get into sewing my own stuff. A hobby that comes easy to my mother makes me lose patience real fast. I usually have a high threshold of patience, but this is hard. My simple task that I wanted to complete: Create a simple little drawstring bag that is about 3&#8243; x 7&#8243; using a portable mini sewing machine. One of those <i>As Seen On TV</i> ones: WHITE&#8217;s Sew Cute&trade; (Model SC-20). I didn&#8217;t know how to really change the bobbin to a darker thread so I left the white thread in. I really didn&#8217;t like the fact that the stitching distance seems long. There seems to be only two speeds: on and off.</p>
<p>For the bag, I used a celestial astrological theme fabric that came with a book binding kit and a dark shiny smooth fabric that I&#8217;ve had for a few years now for a liner. Didn&#8217;t turn out too bad though (<a HREF="http://shu72.com/images/celesbag.jpg">pic</a>), it should have been thought out more. I&#8217;ll have to sew the space for the drawstring to go through by hand because I sewed up the sides and it won&#8217;t fit over the sewing machine arm now. Or come up with a different way to attach the drawstring.</p>
<p>Recently, I somehow wondered off while surfing on the internet to a section of the BBC website with some classic arcade style games. I think it was a link provided in a past Lockergnome newsletter to an online game called <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/games/gamezone/">Roadies</a>. There are other games there as well. A few are based on television programs and require Flash 5.</p>
<p>What I played a little of:</p>
<ul class="nostyle">
<li><strong>Roadies</strong> &#8211; Fun and funny. Haven&#8217;t got past the second level yet. </li>
<li><strong>LA Pool Party</strong> &#8211; Played this once so far. You have a choice between 3 limos. Each with its own pool in the back.</li>
<li><strong>Diners</strong> &#8211; This is really good and challenging after a few levels.</li>
<li><strong>Gay Lords</strong> &#8211; Fun and funny. I really need to work on the launching of my exploding thongs. Played often.</li>
<li><strong>Flirt Alert</strong> &#8211; Fun Pacman style game.</li>
<li><strong>Stop&#33; Kung Fu</strong> &#8211; Kung Fu fan game with some trivia. It&#8217;s&#8230; OK.</li>
<li><strong>Pachinko</strong> &#8211; Boring to me. Didn&#8217;t play it long.</li>
<li><strong>Celebrity Arm Wrestling</strong> &#8211; <em>eeeh</em>. It&#8217;s OK. Only played one round.</li>
</ul>
