More as a way of seeing who reads what, I'm going to discuss this here but not on Facebook. Mostly because many of those receiving these as gifts read FB but not LJ. I have finished my first, trial-run Snuggie/Slanket/Snuglet, from the pattern located here (scroll down and look for "Snuglet"; linking directly was a PDF link so I decided to link to the whole projects page instead). I fancied it ...
Haven't gone anywhere, just been busy. And, perhaps seasonally-related, a bit depressed. Working and skating and working and not sleeping... Weekends are busy busy times for me. Saturday night I don't even remember what I did. Sunday morning I wrote a long post to fatshionista on how to find bras that fit. (Would that I could apply it, but I lack funds and motivation and have... enough...
Expanding on my Facebook status update. You know what? Fuck Talk Like A Pirate Day. It was funny, like, once, but as a person who actually is interested in history and language, it's mostly just horriblyannoying. Most people can't handle the second person intimate to save themselves, and haven't the slightest idea about archaic verbs and just mash words together, which is only funny the ...
Z just got called a "beatnik hippie" by a coworker. Scrambled metaphor, but I'm taking it to mean it's time to trim the beard. Photos added to Flickr-- last roll of film from Pennsic. The C-130 flyover of the Field Battle , very dramatic, and some random shots. I then finished the roll around the house. You can see the current state of the beard . You can also see streaks from where I opened ...
I am a bit sore today. I may have overdone it re: the back. Yesterday I was quite sore by the end of the day (did I mention here how the boss yelled at me when he saw me gingerly stretching my back? I don't think I've mentioned that now that I've worked a few more days, with him around, I'm much much much more fond of the man, who is sweet in his own prickly, odd, consistent way), but it got ...
New photos going up on Flickr from my session with the negative scanner-- more recent photos and some oldies and goodies. Last night I put up the film shots from Pennsic that I took on the old AE-1 with the almost-free telephoto lens, and today I'm putting up first some scanned-from-prints old family photos, and then scanned negatives from my teenage expedition to Europe, including some ...
I'm turning 30 and my wonderful sisters are banding together to get me a new sewing machine of my very own-- thusfar all my sewing adventures have been on two antique machines I inherited from various bits of the family. Not that I haven't enjoyed the old dears, but one machine is straight-stitch only, and the other is in need of repair and I haven't found a shop yet that can do it. So I've come...
It's taken me days, but I've got all the photosuploaded. I've just noticed that the Uploadr helpfully did not upload any of the videos, however. So I have to go back and add the videos from second week. My paid Flickr accountexpires in, like, a minute, though, so I have to scrape up some money to fix that. (Huh, guess I bought it when I got home from last Pennsic?) * I have been mostly ...
Back to work today, but at least the store doesn't open until noon so I have a few hours to psych myself up to the concept this morning. Oh, if I want coffee I'd better make it now, though. Boo. Getting photos uploaded as we speak-- the first batch from the Olympus (from last week) went up last week, and the only thing I did yesterday was pull the second batch, both weeks' worth of photos from ...
