( Wisdom tooth extraction! Yay! )

I have to go to hospital to have two of my wisdom teeth pulled out tomorrow! I know it's pathetic to be worried about an operation that only lasts about 20 minutes and is completely routine when so many other people have it so much worse, but I've never had to have an operation or a general anasthetic before, and I know I shouldn't have but I read ( Read more... )

Woo hoo! Random quizzage!

Bah. Was meant to be going up to London this weekend for a date and shopping with a friend, but halfway through the day the speakers on my phone stopped working. I can make and receive calls, I just can't hear anything down the other end of the line. So I've had to call people and speak in stupid monalogues because they can hear me but I can't hear ( Read more... )

I got back from work about an hour ago. Somehow we managed to make 11 outfits in two and a half days. I'm sure my boss has a team of Oompa-Loompas in her room or something because it's just not humanly possible to cut patterns that fast. So, Scarlett and Hillary (We're making costumes for someone who just won an Oscar OMG!) will be trying on their ( Read more... )

OMG, I had the best day today! My friend Cherry and I got called into my boss's house; we both thought we were in trouble, but it turns out her friend has got us both jobs on the Oriana! I'M GOING ON A MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE, BABY! Basically the two of us are in charge (In Charge! Are they insane?) of the wardrobe department, but all we actually have ( Read more... )

So. The Oscars. I didn't actually get to see any of it, because Sky won't sell the rights to our paltry terrestrial TV channels (although the first thing I did when I got home today was look at the 'best' and 'worst' dresses on the AOL homepage. That probably makes me a very sad and shallow human being, but nevermind. I like to pick at the dress ( Read more... )

OMG why are they not showing the Oscars on terrestrial TV in the UK? Now I'll never get to see the wonderous skirt we made for Alex on the TV because they NEVER show the costume design award on the highlights things. cleolinda , please tell me if she wins, (which she blatently won't, because Colleen Atwood is so going to win) or if you see the skirt and it ( Read more... )

It is quarter to midnight. I have just come home from work. I arrived at work at eight thirty this morning. My shoulders hurt and my eyes hurt and I almost cried in the toilet because for some reason I left the part of my brain that enables me to use an overlocker competently at home today. I spent two hours trying to overlock a circle. But I did ( Read more... )

I've had a lovely couple of days visiting my friends, blighted only by this news item, which I heard on the radio this lunchtime. I'm still seething.

An organisation called Operation Christian Vote has bullied a cancer charity into refusing a donation from the producers of Jerry Springer the Opera.
