Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

This new old timey event at The Hammer Musuem on Tuesday, November 10 looks like it will be tremendouns fun. If I go, I just know I won't be able to stop thinking about Grandpa Simpson and Steamboat Willie.  Look for me --  I'll be the one giggling sporadically to herself in the middle-to-back section of the autditorium.

More information about this event here.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

daisy

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.

と思い立ち、土曜の午後Ｄ90持って宮島沼へ向かった。
野鳥の飛来地として有名なようで、こちらに越してきてから一度も訪れた事がなかった。

さて到着して沼の方へ歩いていく。
・・・何もいない。「何も」は嘘だ。何羽かの水鳥がいたにはいた。が、想像していたのとかなり違うね。

さてこれじゃカメラ出すのもなぁと思って立ちつくしていたら上司から入電。

至急出勤。

約５時間後帰宅。

帰宅後、提出期限の迫った通信教育のレポート半分を終わらせたところで就寝。

So its that time of year again and costume creation is in full swing.

The other day at work I brought my sewing machine in because we were trying to turn our weather balloon into a giant ghost by making a fabric costume for it (didn't work by the way :( ). I had not sewed in a very long time, but the little sewing I did at work made me think that I was probably the best at sewing ever, and why the hell wasnt I sewing things all the time? (normaly I hot glue all my costumes together...) Anyway long story short Paige and I went to the fabic store today and decided to put my "I rockzors and sewing" hypothesis to the test. Result:

I ROCKZORS AT SEWING!

Mostly. Some of the seams are a little wonky, I skiped interfacing because I decided it looked hard and I didnt want to buy it, but over all not too bad. It will definately work for Paige's Chun Li costume. Next up a tailed jacket for my Zatanna costume. Also, mods for my star trek costume, perhaps a jacket for my steam punk costume, who can tell. The posibilitys seem endless now that I have graduated from hot glueing.

here is the tunic I made for Paige today.

And this is who Im going to be for acctaul Halloween. Our theme this year is comicbook characters so I figured I'de go for the obscure batman love interest. Some may remember her from Batman the Animated Series where she helped Batman fight Ra'sh al Ghul.
