chocolatepotUghhhhh, my back has been hurting for two days and I'm not sure why. Right up between my shoulder blades. Not bad enough to stay home, just to sit around grumping. I shouldn't, Dad and Melissa got a horrible flu right after I left them last week and are still kind of sick.
Gina on Brooklyn 99 has grown on me over the years. I used to find the character kind of grating, but now I appreciate the way that she can do anything without it resulting in secondhand embarrassment.
I realized the other day that I should probably have sent a copy of the book to each museum where I patterned, and now it's probably too late so I'm just going to feel awkward about it. Man.
I watched Our Mutual Friend twice while making my petticoats, and it's made me determined to read some more less mainstream Dickens. Barnaby Fudge, Dombey and Son, Martin Chuzzlewit. At some point! I need to finish my book on Margaret Douglas, although I don't have time to do so before it's due. :( It's got some weirdnesses, though - Alison Weir is not afraid of citing, but then she'll make statements like "Jane Seymour made her women wear the gable hood rather then the French hood associated with Anne Boleyn" with no citation. I'm not saying she's definitely wrong, but where tf did that come from?
Lately I've been wanting to branch out and go crazy with the second half of the year's HSM challenges. Logically I know this won't happen, I'm too slow, but I've been itching to make something outside my usual date range. Tudor, or Elizabethan, or medieval. It would be so interesting! Actually, I do have a good Henrician kirtle, so I could make some things to go with that. Do a coif for Monochrome, undersleeves for Pattern, maybe a fitted Gothic dress for Red. That might be too much, maybe Dorothea bodies covered with red wool or silk. That's also probably a bit too much, tbh. I don't know, I get tired of being in a rut.
