Jeez, is this retroactive jetlag....
Aug. 17th, 2007 03:26 pm....or is my brain turning to mush because of some guy?
I forgot to bring in my class notes to copy for tomorrow. I think I have leftovers from A&S last year, but even if I don't I can wing it. In the meantime, I printed out the Five Hundred Essential Japanese Season Words, made a bunch of poetry "work sheets" and will pick up a package of cheap pens because it has been my experience that fifty percent or more of the people who show up for a poetry class will do so without writing materials. (EDIT - found leftover handouts. It pays to packrat such things.)
Must dig out the Tanabata poems from Sacred Rites In Moonlight, which I discovered as I read it on the flight to Pennsic because I told Yukiko-hime about 'em.
Must compose a poem on the theme of Tanabata of my own. (Must give some thought to seeing what Some Guy is truly made of by composing a poem for him and finding a willing shill to deliver it to him when he is not expecting it tomorrow.)
Must press what I'm wearing and whatever I take for loaner purposes so they don't look like complete rags.(EDIT - I have four kosode WITH obi to lend ready to go. That's going to have to be enough.)
(Must finish dressing poor, neglected Hikaru! He is such a handsome monkey, he should come to the feast.)
Must pack sake cups since Emma says she picked up a bottle of Momokawa Diamond for the feast. (Must warn Emma that the alcohol content of sake is around 15%.)
