Daily Update:


  • 12:16 I should. Do a productive thing now. #
  • 12:19 One easy thing about east Asian languages is that they don't have nearly as many punctuation/capitalization issues to proofread for. #
  • 12:21 I have a student who is proofreading a printer/cashier driver manual for her company. I like the nitpicky work, but dunno how my sub will do #
  • 12:35 @skysailor99 Me? No, I like that stuff. Treating overly complex sentences like a math equation is fun. :D #
  • 12:36 @skysailor99 My sub last time I was absent made a comment about how it was really hard, & she's a CreativeWrit. major. Worried for next sub. #
  • 12:41 @freosan Did you ever have to take technical writing? Do you know what text they use? #
  • 12:44 Sokka and Xander should totally get together and be ridiculous together. WHERE IS THIS FIC #
  • 12:54 @freosan Thanks! I'm wondering if that would be a decent resource for my student... #
  • 12:56 Right, I was going to sew today. 行こう‼ #
  • 13:36 Actually, I need to drop by the school and drop off this paperwork. #
  • 13:36 @freosan Hmm. Templates might help me, at least. #
  • 17:44 Sewing hakama. Going to take a break before starting on the ironing and omgpleats. #
  • 18:09 Break time. Bed seems to be calling more than FF12. #
  • 18:20 Rec: The One Where the Fire Nation Clearly Loses, by miarr. AtLA, Sokka/Zuko, NC17. community.livejournal.com/anomylic/13007.html #
  • 18:22 Lol yay Kurt! RT @vejiicakes fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/130/5/4/Avatar_The_Reckoning_by_nandomendonssa.jpg Win #
  • 18:35 Dammit, forgot to eat again. Sigh. #
  • 20:54 Next crossover I want to exist? FFXII/Fifth Element. #
  • 21:46 Ugh, pleats. Trying to fold what, 3.6m of fabric into <30cm using eight pleats and two corner rolls is haaaaaard. #
  • 21:47 (Yes, I am using the amount of fabric found in Heian hakama. Pleating diagrams are nonexistent for this period, afaik) #
  • 21:49 Also, this fabric is like the cotton equivalent of paper. Pins don't want to go thru 2 layers, nevermind 9. #
  • 21:57 Holy fuck these are huge. Need to adjust the side slits and crotch (40cm and 60cm+ [w/o gusset] deep, respectively), then sew and make ties #
  • 21:58 Self, if you get these done for hanging out in Tokyo tomorrow, you will have an awesome[ly weird] outfit. Do this. #
  • 23:10 I want to ask people on the cap_ironman comm to mark their fics for spoilers, as Iron Man 2 doesn't open here til TOMORROW. Grr, newbies. #
  • 00:22 Yay, Lhusu Mines -- my favorite place to grind. #ffxii #
  • 01:18 I probably would be done this already if it weren't for my ridiculously short attention span. #sewing #hakama #ooshiny #
  • 01:36 How wide should the hakama ties be again.... #guesstimationyay #sewing #hakama #
  • 01:37 By the way, guys, my pleats are awesome. (Possibly too many, but I do not give a shit right now.) #
  • 01:41 To do: Sew side slits; cut, sew, and attach waist ties; secure crotch seam; hem and add string/elastic into cuffs (opt.); iron the bugger. #
  • 03:12 Yeah, I should sleep now. Sewing in the morning! Or whenever the hell I wake up. #
  • 03:43 Or, I could just become nocturnal. #
