Tis time again for the wonderful thing that we like to call Symmetrical Docking Friday. This week SDF is the first of Year Three of Symmetrical Docking Friday and stars a couple of the girls from the moetastic K-On!
Now normally this time of year I would start holding the Second Annual Symmetrical Docking Friday Championship Tournament, but I am going out of town for a week to ten days for work. So things are going to be delayed a bit. I hope to have it up and running around the 10th of September, so look around at the last year of Symmetrical Docking Fridays and pick out your favorite.

Ok feeling a bit like the white rabbit here. “I’m late, I’m late”, and being late I am going to be brief on this update.
But, while I am late it is also been two years of Symmetrical Docking Friday. And to celebrate I will once again be Symmetrical Docking Friday Championship Torment. Which will start this Wednesday. I may be out of town for part of first rounds but I should be able to have it all set up and ready to go before I leave.

Well the last thing I really needed was another hobby but I got one. This one is going to shock some of you but the new hobby is knitting. Yep that’s right knitting. Yep that craft stereotypical associated with little old ladies making sweaters for their grandkids.
Why? you may ask. Well that is a kind of a long tale but to make a long story short it comes down to Doctor Who and The Knit Princess. So through reading web comics I came across a cute little comic called The Knit Princess. It’s a very cute comic about a girl who lives for Knitting. So that me to thinking how hard could a simple scarf be to knit. So after a bit of research I found that I shouldn’t be to hard to do as the knitting is a simple knit and turn knit and turn design. The hard part is that while the scarf is simple in design it is a bit longer then your normal scarf. How long? It’s right around 25 feet long. Who would wear a scarf that long? Well that brings us to Doctor Who.
Now a lot of people have only seen the modern incarnation of of the good Doctor. But, back when I was in High School I found Dr. Who playing late night on my local PBS station. At the time they were playing episodes staring the fourth Doctor Tom Baker, and if I remember right the first serial I saw was The Robots of Death. Anyway one of the costume elements that set the fourth Doctor apart was the extra long scarfs that he wore. The color pattern of the scarfs changed from season to season. I always wanted one of those scarfs but the few I’ve seen for sale were always from the earlier seasons. The one that I always think of is from the finale Tom Baker season (number 18) when the Doctor was running around with Romana II. While it is the simplest in color pallet it is by far then longest.
So once I get the hang of knitting, the pic above is the first time I’ve gotten more then three rows done with out messing something up. I will embark on a long term project of finaling getting me a Doctor Who scarf.

This weeks Symmetrical Docking Friday features a couple of the ladies from my favorite anime of the Spring season Durarara!! (The two exclamation points are not a mistake, they are a part of the official title.) Durarara!! is a very unique series with many interwoven story lines and each episode tells the story following one of the many charters. Like a lot of anime today Durarara!! is based of a light novel series which is up to seven volumes, with the anime covering the first three in the series. Which hopefully means that we’ll be getting more animated Durarara!! action in the future.

Once again this year I will be holding the Symmetrical Docking Friday Championship Tournament. You can check out last years SDF Battle to see how it went.
