Never Ending Story

I took over maintainership of anime_manga, which was abandoned in 2004. Time to get it running again, right?

And finally an out of date photo for Mom's vest:



It's out of date because today I finished the armscye and sewed the shoulder seams. I've picked up stitches for the neck ribbing so after 2" of that I will have just the armholes to finish, the faux i-cord in front to sew down, and then the hard part... installing a zipper.

I also have a pair of gloves in progress. I have wrists, palms, and index fingers done on both gloves and just started the middle finger of one of them today. I knit the wrists and palms of both of them at once using the magic loop technique and a long circular needle with both ends of the skein of yarn. It wasn't as much of a tangle-fest as I feared it might become. I find it is quicker to knit the fingers one at a time on double pointed needles, largely because I can get into a rhythm and just keep knitting without having to shuffle the stitches around on the long circular.

Next update should be finished vest (possibly minus zipper) and gloves.

Friday: 4-7am; 7.30am-9am
Saturday: 2-7am
Sunday: -

Thankyou and goodnghhh. Wish me luck, internets.

I'm buggered, mind, but it was a good day. ^^ Rage's dress is going to be lovely.

Hopefully I get a good night's sleep, because tomorrow is going to be a right doozy. I don't want to check my emails tonight because I don't want to lie awake stressing, but I fear it may be damned if I do, damned if I don't. Bless you, Tuesday release schedule, you screw up my sleep schedule like horrible, horrible clockwork.

So today I was introduced to Posemaniac, a site which randomly generates poses for the purpose of thirty, forty-five, ninety second sketches. It's great for getting more comfortable with drawing quick, clean lines!

( Here are today's results. )

Sheldon & Penny from The Big Bang Theory (TV series) are my otp

Dear Diary,

Today I couldn't commit my work back to the Subversion repository because there was no more space on the server.

That's all.

I am still really, really enjoying this game. Like, a lot. I only just arrived in Venice, so I've not really explored it much, but I suspect this puts me about a third of the way through the plot? Roughly. I have no honest idea. I'm just hoping to finish the game before the downloadable content comes out in Jan/Feb. (BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES HERE I COME.)

Also, I did not miss the hugging quicktime event. I MAY HAVE MASHED THE ENTIRE CONTROLLER WITH BOTH HANDS, but I hit the goddamn button. *coughs* >_>;

In any case, expecting Wyrren in about half an hour, because we are going to go see her dad's band play at some club in the Valley. :D This may involve another shower because fuckdamn it is warm and disgusting, ugh.

By which I mean I will be over here resisting the urge to turn my PS3 back on.

Upon review of the contents of the laundry, the second dark load is hereby postponed until I go to bed, because it seems pointless to do the washing and then immediately contribute to the pile again. (Although we'll have to do mum's holiday laundry tomorrow anyway, so whatev.)

In any case, the todo list:
- fold the dark load
- wash the red load (I still cannot believe we have enough reds between us to make a fucking red load. XD)
- dry the red load
- fold the red load
- water the plants
- wash mum's sheets
- dry mum's sheets
- clean the bathroom
- vacuum downstairs
- cook dinner (kormaaaaaaa)

Other than that, my plans for today involve finishing books and playing video games, and probably cooking at some point, though since I am still kind of craving pizza, this last is debatable.

Patrick Wolf was in town last night, and I took Maddie and Sonya, except Sonya had to leave before PW actually started playing. T___T Words do not describe my grief for her. ( My grief is somewhat assuaged by not thinking it was quite as awesome as Elbow at the Tivoli. BUT IT WAS STILL PRETTY GODDAMN AMAZING. )

We had a delicious Espresso Martini at the Bowery before we went to the concert, too, and man, that place is gorgeous. I always knew good things lay within that building - I've been fond of it ever since we moved here in 2006, and yet never went in. I should go sit in there early on weekday afternoons when I can afford to keep myself in twenty dollar cocktails for long enough to enjoy the atmosphere. Enjoyed my usual immunity to vodka, though, which was quite nice.

Today was reasonably productive, despite obstacles (i.e. more scheduling meetings). I think I'll finish all the open bugs for EWP5 and EAP5 docs on Monday, so I can stage those for review, give Gary a hand with his mod_cluster docs, and start working on release notes for the EAP5 post-GA items, EWS, and EWP. Next week should hopefully involve the dev team finishing ripping the guts out of EAP to make EWP and actually combing through my docs and telling me what needs to go before they reflect EWP support. I hope. Note that I do not say this with any great degree of optimism. But I should be occupied most of next week with... more... scheduling. >_>; Sigh. If worst comes to worst, I can always start trying to thread together a Security Guide. Should probably spend some time studying for RHCT at some point, too. Sigh. THAT is something that ought to go on my schedule. Oh well.

Not a lot of housework to do tomorrow, because I actually do keep on top of things during the week when there aren't other people to contend with, but I still have to:
- fold the dark load
- wash the red load (I still cannot believe we have enough reds between us to make a fucking red load. XD)
- dry the red load
- fold the red load
- wash my sheets
- dry my sheets
- wash mum's sheets
- dry mum's sheets
- clean the bathroom
- vacuum downstairs

...which, now I look at it, is pretty much the same as my list every other week. I refuse to vacuum upstairs when I've only been up there to turn the air-conditioning off and on, though. (I keep insisting I have no need for a television bar video games, and no one believes me. Mum will come home on Sunday and be all WHERE HAVE YOU PUT THE REMOTE, you watch.)

I have Patrick Wolf's water bottle.

I'm just sayin'.

Hey there! I'm Drexi, I'm 19, and I'm incredibly awkward when it comes to introductions. I've lived in several cities across the U.S., and spent six months overseas.

I'm an Anime-geek, prone to strange references, cosplay and having emoticons accompany my text. >//////<;;

My other, half-assed interests include art, writing (obviously), food-consumption, travel, sleep, roleplay and procrastination. ;>__>

I'm sarcastic, a moderate-pessimist (often enough that I can't call myself a realist), but I try not to be too abrasive to strangers.

...And though I love having people to talk to online, I'm not particularly fond about talking about myself, especially on such an easily-accessible venue, so if you're interested in starting a conversation, feel free to message me. I promise to be nice~
