What in hell goes on around here? A tally.

Accomplished yesterday? A tally for the (un)interested:

-About a million tiny, tiny pleats sewed into a frock, which I mostly completed
-Finished His Dark Materials Trilogy
-Decided my mohawk needed trimming. Again.
-Watched, while sewing:

1) six episodes of Good Eats (including the "Ask Alton" sections)
2) a great film entitled Bedrooms and Hallways
3) the special features on the sixth disc of Rome's first season
(nb: the casting overlaps within the previous two are, frankly, hilarious)
4) a wack of youtube videos containing Eddie Izzard, David Tennant, Alan Davies, John Barrowman, and others
5) and the first five minutes of the newest Pride and Prejudice, before getting fed up with it and postponing

I also spent some time on myspace trolling for lost people, and found others who, frankly, took themselves way the hell too seriously. Great googly moogly, people. What follows is short note to them:
Dear myspace gits,
I'm not going to suddenly decide that you are cool and I need to be your friend if you are either drinking a big crappy beer at me or flipping me off. More likely, I'm going to think you are a gigantic tosser. To quote Mr. Stephen Fry, who was quoting another, "Any more of that behaviour...and you'll have a short, sharp visit from the Smack Fairy." And not in that way you're thinking, so kindly wipe that smirk off your face. Thank you.
End transmission.

Okay. Right. And now that I have gotten that off my chest, off I go to watch both of the Pride and Prejudices (miniseries and aforementioned movie) and kick out more of this sewing.

By the way, has anyone out there done any casting from flexible molds recently? I find myself in need of casting a 3D eagle, (you know, like ya do,) and I fear that my old college experience might be out of date. There have got to be new materials that are being used now.

Right! Posting! Yes!

Well, wedding in Canada now over, I can now commence the pre-Pennsic preparatory planning. There's a lot of shite to do this year, and actually I'm going to keep this short so I can get to bed soon and get up early to glaze a kilnload of pots.

Besides the aforementioned pots, on my plate at the moment include:

Finishing Va and Darrell's yurt door
Helping Va clean her yurt floor and trim the roof canvas
Sewing, like, six plaid flannel sleepytime tunics
Making three roman-style dresses, including all the inkle weaving that that implies
And probably weaving some more
Mending my existing garb
Designing and building a comfy Celtic halter top for Va and I
And however much Roman paraphernalia as I can research and make well; not doing it half-assed

Ah, yes, and I'm learning a new song for Pennsic; it's in Gaelic and English, sean-nos style, entitled "Bruach na Carraige Baine". It's the Cape Clare version, which is different than the usual treatment, I think, and not the easiest thing I've ever taught myself. Which is typical, really. "Here, let me get started three weeks beforehand learning a frustrating song, and still have sanity left after singing it fifty billion times to design a weaving pattern. Heh." Anyway, if it doesn't work out I'll ditch it for this year and pick it up later, but I was really hoping to have it down.

So, yeah, I'm sure that there are other things I'm forgetting, but I think that's all I have room for in my head.

Oh, and I really wanted to winge about how shitty an interface myspace has, but it's really kinda apparent to anyone who has spent any time on there, so I won't spend my time on it. However, if you are interested, I did set up a page there to point here, and if you'd like to friend me (or would like me to friend you), it's here. I can't promise you it will roll over and do tricks or anything, but it can't hurt.

K. Shhh. Sleeping. :)
