Ahh, procrastination. I should be working on my essays but instead I'm watching a crappy movie and refreshing LJ and FB because the couch is comfy and warm, whereas my study area is less so on both counts ( Read more... )

As part of my procrastination when preparing for the presentation I gave today, I cleaned up my f-list. Mostly comms I no longer read and dead journals, but if you think you have been accidentally/ unfairly defriended, please speak up ( Read more... )

Things which I forgot to mention yesterday ( Read more... )

Ironfest was awesome. The tent held up and was as comfy and roomy as planned. The doors need a smidge of work to get the hang right, and the group need practice so we can become moe efficient at putting it up, but overall I'm pretty damn happy. It took us over 2 hours to raise the tent when we arrived on Friday, but given the 45- 60+ kmph winds I'm ( Read more... )

So tired. Still so many things to sew. And once Ironfest is over I will have to pull up the slack at Uni as I've let study slide while trying to get the tent and stuff done. Bah. And it's cold and I'm tired (but thankfully over my Con plague) so my fibro is acting up. Woe is me ( Read more... )

Last night Adam and I had a craft date which was really nice. I ran up some outlines on the sewing machine while he did some dishes, then I cooked dinner and we watched Thor and Game of Thrones ep 1 and 2 while I sewed more leather grommets on the tent and he did some rope work. He also pulled out his half-finished diddy bag from ages ago and asked ( Read more... )

So there was not nearly as ( Read more... )

Last batch of cookies is in the oven. Car is packed other than foodstuffs, and the blankets etc which will go on top of the box of said food. As soon as these cookies come out I'm going to have a shower and then it's off to bed to try and get 5ish hours sleep before it's up and away on the road trip to camp. Wheeeeeeeee!!!!

Operation: Baking is a go. Today I made 13 cakes, with another 10 to do tomorrow as well as 8 batches of cookies. And find and pack all my gear, and do the last of the sewing and washing, and go shopping for the last few bits and pieces, and fit everything in the car. First event of the season woooooo ( Read more... )

Yay weekend! Although as usual I've been far too busy for it to feel much like one. I had Friday off and dartanus and Liz came over to dye fabric, and we had a double date to see Red Riding Hood at the local cinema. It's been ages since I've actually been to the movies. The flick was entertaining, nothing amazing but it was very pretty. Amazing scenery, ( Read more... )
