(no subject)

So, after a rather miserable day yesterday where I spent most of it curled up in bed drifting in and out of sleep, I'm doing much better today.

Meaning that I'm able to keep my eyes open and do not have the running nose from hell. Throat's still scratchy though. *mutters*

Including today, I've got four class days left. This is a very odd feeling. As far as I know, I've just got one final I'll be sitting, and the rest are either take-homes or will be done before the class ends. No real idea on grades, though I'm thinking it'll be the usual mixed bag. However, as my grad program admission is over and done with (accepted, dealt with, just need final transcript, etc) I'm not particularly worried. So long as I pass everything, I should be ok. (I may even get something decent! Woot!)


Plans for this weekend mainly include working on A&S stuff. There are still a few things that need to be acquired, but I'm hoping they won't prove much trouble - namely the raw goat or sheep's milk. It's been sighted at the St. Phillip's Square Farmer's Market, here's hoping I can find it again. Sausage casings shouldn't prove too hard either I'm thinking. Just need to get around to finding it.

The creative juices are beginning to flow again. This is good...

Opening the neck of a blown-glass vessel is harder than it looks.


With luck - photos when I get it back next week.

Beastie Stuff!

So, spoke to my mother for a while tonight - she sent along a somewhat cleaned-up version of the stag which is very likely what I'll end up going with.

She'll probably end up sending along the beasties she created, but she wasn't entirely happy with them. Said they looked less "Scythian" and more "her doing Scythian". And if she's not happy, no sense in putting it permanently on my body.


After several recommendations and discussion over his set-up and such, have emailed Simon and am on the road to getting this done in the next few weeks (hopefully).

ETA: and things have begun processing! woot!
