So, in college, we used to drive up from Athens in the summer time with a bunch of inflatable rafts and styrofoam coolers, and float down the Chattahoochee River and drink. I haven't done this in quite a while, and I was thinking it might be an amusing activity. Anyone interested in coming along? It's much more entertaining en masse! Once I get an idea about who's up for it, we can figure out a date!

Tomorrow will be in the 70's! Welcome Spring!!

I'm gonna go play around on Stone Mountain tomorrow for a dose of outdoors and granite, so if anyone is interested in playing hooky and coming with me, lemme know!

YAY FOR SPRING, DOWN WITH SNOW!

Mat and I are gonna go to the midnight show at the IMAX at Mall of Georgia on the opening night (Thursday, March 5th night). Any of you want to come? Prolly best to get tickets early, as I suspect they'll sell out.

So, I have this little food blog.

Been going for about 2 months...

Mmmm, food.

I'd been feeling that Liberal was such a boring word for my beliefs. Now, thanks to the wisdom of Matt Barber, I know that I'm actually a Baal worshiper. THANKS!

A truly amusing example of if a=b and b=c, then a=c.

YAYAYAYA!!

So much for the new drum set being more sturdy than the last -- Mat cracked the yellow pad last night. We pulled the thing apart, and sure enough, there was a big nasty crack running right down the middle. We're having a replacement expressed here, so keep your fingers crossed! We have the fancy drum set, but it's spaced wierd so it won't be as fun for everyone.

Here's wishing they made the drum sets to stand up to people hitting them with sticks.

You're all invited to the wilds of Winder on September 27 for our next Rock Band Extravaganza. We will have Rock Band 2 available for your rock amusement, as well as many amiable people with which to rock. Feel free to bring food type items, as well as any alcoholic beverages. We'll have sodas and juice, cups and plates! The fun starts in the late afternoon and will continue until everyone wusses out. Should you need directions or other information, comment here or call or communicate your confusion in any one of the other standard ways.

It's a smidge darker than I'd like, but I had to take it that far to move it past blue + yellow = green. :p Actual dyeing tomorrow, as birds have to be out of the downstairs due to nasty fumes. Weee!

So, Daine from Emperor Mage is structurally completed, but there's still plenty of beading to go. Looks good so far, and I really, really, really hope that Tamora Pierce recognizes it, because if she doesn't I just might cry. Hours and hours of hand beading need some kind of recognition, I think.

I bought the fabric for Giselle and finished my muslin test. It's very difficult to fit princess seams on yourself without help, and my dressform is much less endowed than I am in the chestal region. Poor Mat is useless at helping, even when I explain things very clearly, so I finally gave up and had my mum help me pin. Sooo much easier.

I dye all that fabric tonight. I'm freaking terrified.

They are too dark, but look, you can still see the embroidery! WIN! Happy dance!!!!!

The Cream

The Blue

The Pink

Muslin and some polyester embroidered fabric, just to see how it'd turn out.

HOOORAY!

Well, I'm car'ed, despite reluctance on my part to enter the world of monthly car payments. I got a Yarrrrrrrrris. I looked at used cars, but after my experience with the extremely slimy and gross Corolla, I saw that the Yarrrrrrrrris isn't much more expensive, so whee!

Need pirate stickers.

Saw Hellboy, it was filled with win. And then I lost my new car key in the theatre. That was not filled with win. Fortunately I had given a spare to MAT, so I immediately asked for it back. Le sigh.

Tamora Pierce at Dragoncon! SQUEE!

The Big Read thinks the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books they've printed below.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them.

It's a weird list, and I've definitely read more than 6 of them... A lot of these are school reads. But then, I suppose, many people don't actually read the book. Silly me, what was I thinking?

( see the details here! AMG! )

Dear Beau...
I told them where to find you.

Love,
Whitney

P.S. Tee hee. :) Are we going?

Am acting like a total girl today. Attended grand opening of h&m!! Squee! At last, cheap clothing that does not look/feel cheap a la forever 21 and the ilk. Am actually waiting in very long line to try on clothing. Will never be able to hold head up again, but will at least have something super cute to wear. :)
