Friday thoughts
Jul. 20th, 2007 09:03 am I can't prevent stupid people from putting stupid, half-assed, undocumented bullshit on the 'net and calling it research. I can only combat ignorance from the ramparts of Wodeford Hall.

Another Friday thought.
Jul. 20th, 2007 11:29 amI posted the following to my kingdom e-list.
"Going to Fettburg? Can't make this weekend's sewing workshops? Haven't got a thing to wear?
I would be happy to teach you how to make a kosode and obi. I will be daytripping A&S both days. Please contact me in advance off list at wodeford AT yahoo DOT com if you wish to get together for an hour or so at A&S.
We can discuss what time of day to do this (I am entirely at the convenience of YOUR class taking schedule) and I can give you a better estimate of how much fabric to bring once we have discussed your general clothing size. You will also need needle, thread, scissors and straight pins.
Ever at the service of the kami of exquisitely fashionable taste,
Saionji no Hanae"
Kobayashi freakin' Maru. Don't like the scenario? Change it.
If anyone actually takes me up on it, great. If not, not.

It's here! It's here! It's here!
Jul. 20th, 2007 08:02 pmNo, not Harry Potter And The Whatever of Whosis. My book shipment from Cornell University Press showed up today. I will have most excellent things to read on my flight.
Sacred Rites In Moonlight (Ben no Naishi Nikki), the diary of a 13th c. lady courtier (one of Saionji's contemporaries!!!!) in the service of Emperor Go Fukakusa. (Enough with the gutter luge,![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
vsct_caius. That's a real name. "U" is pronounced "oo" in Japanese - except when it's not pronounced at all.)
And In Little Need Of Divine Intervention. 1066 had the Bayeux Tapestry. 13th century Japan has the Mongol Invasion scrolls commissioned by Takezaki Suenaga, who fought against them. This should be particularly interesting as I recently finished reading Andrew Bridgeford's 1066: The Hidden History in the Bayeux Tapestry.
Oh, to resist their siren call and save them for those long hours when I will need their diversion!
