Oh Canada!

I know I say it often, but technology is really amazing!  My latest discovery (with a lot of help from my brother in law) is VPN.  I have no idea what it stands for, but it's allowed me to have an anonymous IP address.  Now, why would I want one of those?!  Well, in my case, it's so that I can watch a TV show that's only available on a Canadian website.  I really got hooked on "Being Erica", which is a show from Toronto that had been carried by SoapNet for its first three years, but was not picked up for its fourth and final season.  I went searching around and found the CBC website on which back episodes, including this season's, are stored.  But, when I clicked on the play episode button, nothing happened.  That's when I was told that, since I have a US IP address, the Canadian website isn't going to work for me.  But, there's always a workaround isn't there ;-)  So, my laptop and I take a little trip to Canada these days....

Ok, I've had a set back, but I've also found the silver lining!  Seems when I get into a crocheting groove and pick up speed, I start to crochet more tightly.  So, the segment that started out 45 - 46 inches across was 42" by the time I got it to 9 1/2 inches tall!  Needless to say, I had to do some "frogging" back to about 4 1/2 inches tall.  No worries, as I got caught up on episodes of "Being Erica" last night, I'm back at 8 inches tall, and I posted 2 new tips on http://www.crochet.lifetips.com/ :-)

Today is going to have to be laundry, paperwork, and visiting day.  But, while I watch the political shows this morning, hopefully that last inch and a half will get done.
