how did it get so late

chocolatepotI'm watching the show again, and pondering how I would make a fem!Stede costume ... would it be more fun to make it relatively show-accurate but to be worn over stays, or to translate it into a gown? Not like I would have anywhere to wear it (I don't tend to go to cons), but as a thought exercise ...
I started plotting out an original f/f story (w. pirates of course) and I just. Brain, if you want to go back to original fiction let's finish the novel, hm? So I've made myself write a bit on that tonight and maybe it will be my lunchtime writing tomorrow - every Saturday I go to Boba Yaga and write while I eat and have my boba tea. (It's not a very busy place; most people go to the Latte Lounge instead, I think because they don't walk far enough down the block? Or maybe just because they look at it and go "that's for the dorks." Their loss! But it's just the right atmosphere for me to work - not so quiet that I feel understimulated while just writing, but not so busy that I get distracted.)
Rewatched the movie A League of Their Own to compare to the show - I don't know if it's just that I was nostalgic for the movie before I saw the show (when I was worried it wouldn't measure up) or if the show was just SO GOOD that it made the movie kind of suck. Anyway, if you haven't seen the show, do look into it! It's not about baseball but about all the different ways to be queer in the 1940s, and instead of focusing on the coach's character development he leaves a few episodes in. Nat Faxon is in it for five minutes. The guy who seems to basically be his replacement looks SO much like my engineer cousin it's crazy.

I'm there right now and there are two big groups of college students, nearly all apparently girls, all talking loudly about fandom stuff. It's so clear that this is where the freaks go while Latte Lounge attracts the sorority/frat people and the athletes, I LOVE IT. Even though I am generally very anti-college student.)
