Hey, all of you with possible interest in owning a chain mail (or is it chainmaille?) trinket:

Buy stuff from Catsie.I just helped her set this gallery up last night, after two days of photography with her and some friends as models. As you can see, she's really good at what she does, and the things she makes are relatively inexpensive ( Read more... )

So the ward choir performed again today. It was a medley of hymns about service; I figured it would work well as something for the week leading up to Thanksgiving ( Read more... )

Just got back from another write-a-thon. A highlight:

tibek sitting near erfie ... "LOVE ME."

Yeah, it was fun. And I got to work on my houppelande a bit, specifically the hat. I'm trying for something like the Mediator's hat in Final Fantasy Tactics (not historical, but it looks cool); it's failing so far. Ah,

And now to write up that midterm and the short story for tomorrow. Huzzaaaaaaaah.

Now, on the one hand, I admire people whose convictions are stronger than their need for protein and animal-based nutrients. The president of the medieval club is one such person, and in spite of the ribbing we all give him, he's still a good person and a good friend to a lot of people ( Read more... )

So ... number one, I've been sick with a cold/sore throat since Wednesday night. I hope I didn't get anyone from writing group sick ( Read more... )

Interesting thing that got said to me over the past week:

"Simon, I didn't think it was possible, but you speak Japanese with a French accent."
