I've made some improvements on my latest outfit for faire. Including the addition of some trims, a farthingale, and a lace collar, a bit narrower than the lace on the sleeves. I'm thinking of narrowing the collar even more, so it's less overwhelming.
Anyhow, ( here are some pictures.Collapse )
Whaddya think?

We're going to the Ohio Renaissance Festival today, so of course I can't find: my belt, my pretty green hat, or ANY of my pouches.
This is me irritated at myself for my so-called organization. I THOUGHT I'd hunted down all my costuming stuff and stuck it in a very specific drawer, but apparently NOT.
*gnashing of teeth and irritation*
But it's all right, 'cause my mom is going in costume. Because I am brilliant and found A Way.
We're going to Faire! *GLEEEEEEE!!!!!*

I've had this kicking around in my head since we started thinking about doing another Blues Night. I know some of you are on the list for it. I don't want to just post. Don't feel it's right. So I'll post what I have here and get opinions.
The place was nearly empty. The regulars had cleared out in anticipation of this night. Only the employees and a few strays scattered through the room.
It was dark, hazy, as it should be.
A match flared at the bar, touched the tip of a cigarette. She inhaled until her lungs burned, relishing the small pain. She really wasn’t supposed to smoke, her doctors said, but it didn’t make a difference here.
She loved the burn, the stimulus, the menthol tingling in her mouth. Screw what was healthy, what she should be doing. This wasn’t the night for it.
This was a night to dig down into your soul and pull out the pain so everybody else could see. And then smile as you let go, no matter how much it hurt to turn up those lips.
She dressed for it. Spangled slinky satin in forest green clung to curves and hid bulges. She stood and shrugged out of her wrap. Better to go now, before the crowd got bigger, when it would be harder.
She leaned down to whisper into the ear of the piano player. He looked suspiciously like Ray Charles. His hands moved on the piano, pounding out Billie Holiday.
Normally, she didn’t have the voice for something so raw. But special places really made the woman. She pushed back her fall of too-long blond hair and started to sing.
“Ghost of yesterday
Stalking 'round my room
All night long you stay
Walk around profound gloom
When the darkness falls
When I've gone to bed
Weirdly come your calls
Mournfully, scornfully dead
Folly of a love I strangled
Pulsing heart I thought was gone
Gives no peace
Will not cease
Prowling 'round till dawn
Ghost of yesterday
Every night you're here
Whispering away
"Might have been, might have been, oh, my dear"
Foolish heart must pay
Ghost of yesterday
Yesterday.”
Her voice didn’t break on the last word. Good writing and sheer stubborn will prevented it. Instead she went back to her seat at the bar, and took a damaging drag from the mentholated cigarette, to keep her hands from shaking.
Blues Night.

Sore throat, hoarse, post-nasal drip. That could have been written off.

Well, we certainly fucked things up.
It's turning into No Man's Land with supposed government aid.
Edit: My point being, despite people trying as they are, still others are just... I feel like a portion of people are beating their heads against a wall that another portion of people are doing their best to keep up. It's very frustrating. I wish I had the resources to do like
camwyn and take some time off work to go help. As it is, I can't even drop some change into a bucket. That on top of seeing how crazy everything is just .... it hurts.
This is not laying blame, this is not crying out for something to be done. This is an expression of frustration at my own impotence.

This just pisses me off.
Yeah, I don't think kids need to be out randomly firing guns on the street. Or having weapons at all. But even if the lawyer hadn't mentioned the kids developmental problems? He handed the gun to the police wrapped in a banana.
This strikes me as somebody who's watched too much TV and doesn't fully understand that guns are BAD. Yeah, the kid needs legal discipline (as do his parents, but I'm not going there).
What makes that judge think that $250k bail is going to accomplish ANYTHING?
Morons are running this country, I SWEAR.
Edit: Yes, I too am a complete moron. I SWEAR I read that as banana. The whole situation takes on new meaning without the banana......
Going to crawl into an embarrassed hole now.

Way back when I first started learning about eukaryot and prokaryot cells, I determined one of the theories of evolution. I looked at the differences between different types of prokaryotic cells and compared them to the organelles of eukaryotic cells. The similarities in shape and function was just logical. Eukaryotic cells evolved of multiple prokaryotic cells. It probably started out as an afternoon snack, then turned into a symbiotic relationship where the cells were stronger together, and thus survived longer and reproduced more.
That's the way evolution works. Things in nature decide that life could be better, and start popping out experiments until one succeeds. Then they keep making that adjustment on the newer models.
Evolution has challenged and strengthened my faith. Maybe the fact that I'm not Christian, and I don't take bible myths literally contributed to that. But this is another case of “I don't understand.”
I don't understand how people can take something with such a strong case, like evolution, and throw it out the window because it doesn't fit stories that were made up more than four thousand years ago.
Phrasing will improve when I'm not at work.

So, I was perusing Adelphia, and I came across this article.
Then, two months later, came what she considered to
be a disturbingly placid meeting with President Bush. While she found
him to be a "man of faith," she also said later that he seemed "totally
disconnected from humanity and reality." And when she later heard him
speak of soldiers' deaths as "noble," Sheehan felt she had to do
something.
"To be perfectly honest, I think it is disgraceful,"
said bookkeeper Diana Kraft of Vacaville, whose son is in the Navy. "I
don't know the loss she's feeling to lose a son because, thank
goodness, I haven't had that, but we're in this war and we have to
support the troops."
Disgraceful? Yeah, it's so easy to dismiss death when it doens't touch you. When it's across the globe. It's a noble death when you aren't in danger, none of your loved ones are in danger, but you're out fighting a war for people that don't really want you there. When it's not someone you know.
For the record, here's what she said she wants to
tell him: "I would say, 'What is the noble cause my son died for?' And
I would say if the cause is so noble has he encouraged his daughters to
enlist? And I would be asking him to quit using Casey's sacrifice to
justify continued killing, and to use Casey's sacrifice to promote
peace."
Every time I hear one of those country singers going on about how it's so great to make it to Arlington Cemetary, or how their dad lost his eye in the Army (basic training accident), I want to scream. Have they been there? Have any of them served, take that risk?
How many veterans are in these protests? People who've seen, who know?
I know I'm not making any sense at all, it's just too upsetting for me. My sister's fiance lost his best friend a few weeks ago. My cousin is in Iraq right now. I spent 6 months in Kuwait at the very beginning of the war. To my eyes, it's completely pointless. I know war can sometimes boost the economy, boost country morale. That's just a fact of human nature and economy.
But it doesn't seem to be working.
And I'm tired of people dying for a man who just doesn't understand reality.

Iran and its nuclear program has been in the news a lot lately. Along side all sorts of heehawing and threats should they develop weapons et al.
And if you think about it, you have to remember that nuclear power is one of the most efficient types available. You get a whole lot of power out of very little product. For a country that just knows it has a lack of energy, nuclear power is an excellent option.
If UN countries are so all-fired against Iran using nuclear power, they need to get off their asses and start presenting them with other options. There's a metric assload of them.
But how can we expect countries that don't look beyond their own coal, oil, and nuclear power facilities to think about green energy. This stance on Iran's nuclear is highly hypocritical and stinks of deliberately keeping Iran in the dark. (Literally?) I see in the news, everything US officials say about the country reeks of racism and religious prejudice.
It's irritating.
I wish I knew more about electricity generation so I could put together some sort of report or something on better ways to generate power.

Pay attention, I’m only going to explain this once.
Excluding one month, from December of 2003 until June of 2005, I have paid rent. 95% of the time, I paid half or more. For that entire time, I paid phone and internet and TV. Putting together the internet, TV, electric, and rent for the whole two years of the lease, I have paid $200 more than my share as of this moment.
I offered to help them find someone to sublet. They decided they didn’t need anybody. I have done what I could. I was not kidding when I said I have no more to give.
Last month, I took out two payday loans and borrowed money from my parents to pay these bills. I left the phone on until the new one was set up, the bill is being forwarded to me.

I think I've figured out a way to get to WW without my mother objecting horribly. If we can get Sunrise Chasers out before then, I can totally write it off as a business expense. And if I take my brother's motorcycle, it'll cost even LESS. Yay.
Oh, I found this gem on CNN. And everybody who's surprised that SUV owners aren't participating raise your hands!

And I came across this gem. "People of color who go into the military are put on the front line," said the 67-year-old Carroll, who is black.
What century is this woman living in? I've been around MANY military units and branches and environments. 99% of non-Caucasians who go into the military are smart enough to avoid line-units. They pick jobs that will actually be useful outside the military, and don't have to prove their cajones by being infantry.
While I totally agree that it's completely inappropriate to give out high school kids' information to recruiters, I completely disagree with that statement. I do think recruiters should be allowed to set up a display in a cafeteria or common area. Kids should KNOW what's out there. But they don't need to be cold-call harassed by recruiters.
This totally discounts my opinion on the so-called front line and the No Child Left Behind Act.

I have a nauseating headache. And my stomach is miserable. And I really need to get to Kinkos, which means I need to leave in ten minutes.
I'll say more later.
