You Are Scary



You even scare scary people sometimes!

How Scary Are You?

It's gotta be the hellhounds. Gotta be.

The uwagi collar rebuild might actually be finished tonight. Sounds simple, doesn't it. Just a collar. Except it wasn't just the collar. The damned thing has never hung quite right and it was because I'd originally made the thing too long. I had to remove both overlap panels and their linings. I hacked eight inches of hem off the body panels. I pieced them (and their linings) onto the tops of the overlap panels. I sewed the overlap panels back on. I sewed the linings back together. Now I just have to re-attach the collar.

Class notes are done. I decided a handout with a "Resources" list and a historical timeline might be nice. If I copy it double sided, it won't be unwieldy.

Powerpoint pics are done - though I'd be happier if I can find a better image of Emperor Shotoku because the one I have is a bit fuzzy blown up.

I printed up some Wodeford Hall business cards. 60 seems like a lot and at the same time not very many.

Someone just wrote to me with questions about my Irish dress. Might be worth dragging that along because SOMEBODY in this RenFaire mad state ought to be wearing an Irish dress that's actually made from wool and linen. And of course, my air-filter hat. Because it's All About The Dorky Hats!*

I won't have tomorrow evening to do much packing/prep because [profile] the_ri and [profile] dustinmartinez are gonna be in town, so I'm meeting them in San Francisco for a bout of Ritual Epithet Slinging, Art Appreciation and other such carousing.

However, I am enough of a morning person that I should be able to finish whatever I need to on Friday morning before motoring down to the conference.

(*I like hats. I really, really LIKE hats. I wish I could wear elegant, Audrey Hepburn confections with wisps of veil, or those wonderful 20's cloches - but I look like a complete dork in most hats. I must save my delight for So-Dorky-It-Has-To-Be-Period historical hats. Like my air-filter hat. Or my tate-eboshi. Or my Bigass Japanese Hat Of Doom.)

Giggle.

OK, yes, I'm easily amused, which is why I was watching Mythbusters this evening in the first place. However, the new Discovery Channel promo is just awesome. Go here:
http://dsc.discovery.com/ and check their Top Videos (right side of the screen), look for "Musical Mash: Boom De Ah Da."
