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I find myself in need of casting a 3D eagle, (you know, like ya do,) and I fear that my old college experience might be out of date.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.

So what's going on with all this Roman stuff, eh? Are you turning on us all of the sudden? Hmmmmm?
See you in PA!
