Heading to a cooking class with @jmcclure.

ITS Christmas party has sunk *PAST* Rick James. We're now to the Chicago Bears Super Bowl Shuffle. This won't end well....

ITS Christmas party has now devolved to Rick James videos on youtube!

Big-band and Elvis Christmas music. Sewing. Sleeping cats. Hot chocolate. Contented, and a little festive.

...my response to "White House to not do Christmas this year"

Well, my response went back... and was forwarded back through the circles that tie us all.

I get a response today from someone that was not on my sister's initial list and was aimed to just me.

All I could do was smile, hit reply, and say "Merry Christmas, Drew!"

For if that was all that he got from my response that was not out of anger, who was I with my "superior intellect" to correct him. *thud*

/shakes head and sighs

Jeff (aka @eaton) and Larry (aka @TheRealCrell) are two truly nifty and interesting people I've met as a result of being on the fringes of the Drupal community. I've been watching this exchange scroll by on Twitter with a mix of admiration, amusement, and need for aspirin. Will be completely impenetrable and boring to anyone who isn't either 1) fascinated with religion or 2) fascinated with programming structures.

I'm playing, absently. I have lots of blue fabric that wants a permanent home; who am I not to oblige? I wanted something freeform and relaxed, and this seemed like a good way to play. I wish I knew more about the fabric I'm using for the center of each square. It's a print fabric ©2002, but I have no idea who made it. I'm cutting very, very carefully and sewing with itty bitty seam allowances on that center fabric, as a result. Mustn't waste any; I think it's safe to assume I will never find it again.

I liked the oceany colors. I specifically thought of sea and sky when initially pulling them out; several of these fabrics are from my Hawaii trip a year ago.  The person I think this quilt is for has traveled widely thanks to military service, and the theme and colorset feels right.

I do need to pester Asai to find out how badly I'm mangling the characters as I cut up the fabrics.  Lost in translation, indeed...

Seeing http://ping.fm/6G8pe made me realize: now that loneliness isn't clouding my perception, I did enjoy a lot about Paris.

I really should leave the internets to themselves tonight and sew. Tough to break away, but I'm happier when I do.

Just a little something funny we at Penny Dreadful Productions put together last weekend. Go check out PDP at www.getdreadful.com
