gurdymonkey1. Found my package from fabrics-store.com of royal blue linen in the mail today. Yummy color, just came out of the dryer all soft and snuggly. I'll cut out a jacket and lining tomorrow. If I get my arse in gear, I could conceivably have it ready for the muster in Livermore on Sunday 5/17. I think I can take a sewing needle on a plane now, can't I?
2. Tooled on over to Palo Alto this afternoon and hung out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
didjiman , karisu_sama and jadecat9 for the open studio. The rain had stopped, but it was grey and cool all afternoon, so they didn't have many customers. I did my bit to patronize the arts, and after a great deal of dithering over which to get, acquired one of Richard's prints. (I'm also thinkin' I should get some decent photo paper and print and mount something I've shot and send it to my Mom for Mother's Day.) I had dinner with didjiman , karisu_sama and their eldest at a little Korean joint called Totoro. Yummy pickles and kimchee and what's left of my seafood "pancake" (veggies, squid, and baby shrimp suspended in an omelette-like matrix) can be tomorrow's breakfast.
3. Hiraizumi-Sensei's response to the kosode page revision:
"Looks *real* good. There had better not be any people who don't get it *now*.
You should expect, however, to still get a buncha Qs from people who just skim it because --like my armour manual -- it's got so much information the average reader's eyes may glaze over. It's an annoying thing, but I see it happen *all* the friggin' time. I hate calling people idiots (or blind, or blind idiots), but we are in an informational paradox: we give them not enough info, they ask for answers. We give them *all* the information, they can't take it all in."
Amen, my brother. I had this happen before the revision. Let the cries of "There's too much math!" begin.
