Perfectionism at work?

I find that I don't want to blog unless I have a picture that illustrates what I'm talking about.
Example:

1.) I'd like to ponder the reasons some persons prefer the 2 [circular] needle method of sock knitting. I use one really long needle, and can't see the benefit of using two, unless it was the bonus of having a second needle in that size for emergencies. Still, I feel I need to show my position with photos. Edited to add: It seems that my method is the "magic loop" method. I still feel it is easier to knit with ONE circular in the dark, especially if each side of the sock is using a different needle. My mental image of two-circ socks is a tube growing vertically between two opposite-spinning wheels. Interestesting, perhaps even Seussical, but not practical.

2.) I'd like to discuss day 4 of the sock test-knit, and illustrate my preference for the "slip-replace-k2togtbl" method of making a "ssk"-ish left leaning decrease.

3.) I need to post my awesome Star Trek photo, but I have to scan it somehow first. Brace yourselves for a photo of a photo.

4.) I am reviewing a Devil May Cry complete box set, and the interior DVD cases feature a heapin' helping of crotch each, though I suppose it is meant to showcase the gun in the character's hand? This is too weird for me to not document it for the masses.

"You can create any wondrous item whose prerequisites you meet. Enchanting a wondrous item takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its price. To enchant a wondrous item, you must spend 1/25 of the item's price in XP and use up raw materials costing half of this price."
In translation, making a wondrous item requires not only raw materials and special skills, but a healthy chunk of your own personal experience/existence.
