Thanks for all the congratulations and wellwishes on the job. I want to go back through and respond to each comment, and I'm still a little anxious about the whole process, but I'm excited about the opportunity. So thanks for reading all my worrying over the last few months and for cheering me on and for being happy for me. ♥

Watched the Firefly/Serenity fandocumentary Done the Impossible this weekend. Cute, if maybe a little self-congratulatory. There's some really clever filk on there, and I continue to be impressed by how generous Joss is with his intellectual property - he just has NO insecurity about it, does he? God, to be that confident about my ability to compete in a marketplace!

SG-1 Moebius, in syndication, caught from the very beginning FTW!

Speaking of FTW, Cora dinged 40 last night. She's a paladin, so she got a free pony. PONY! *gallops all over Stranglethorn Vale*

It's been cool enough here this weekend, espeically in the evenings, that I've been thinking about fall, which always makes me want to curl up with tea, apples, a cozy blanket, the 95 P&P¹, and needlework. I went through my boxes of projects and supplies and found a baby quilt that's I've spent the last 15 years handpiecing and basting in weird little fits of industry - maybe it's time to go ahead and quilt that up for one of these babies springing up all over the place. I have a ton of cross stitch and needlework patterns and so much fabric, but I'm feeling like autumn, so I went looking for new shops online. I think this site wins - I want to put the F U C K hearts on bookmarks - there's an audience there, I think. ♥

Needlearts shops to recommend? I'm a pretty advanced stitcher and have done some design and color work of my own, so no fear!




¹ Did you see there's a new set coming out? It looks like it's mostly stuff that I don't care all that much about, so I probably won't be buying it again, but if you haven't yet bought it, this might be a good thing.

Wait, so that's what it takes to get a pony for free? Dammit, I'll just whore myself out for the gold and buy one, then.

WoW paladins are a ball - no sanctimony to be seen. :D My favorite Alliance class, I think, although I'm generally fond of rogues as well.

Ah, WoW. I thought you were talking D&D. *gets confused like that*

I've not yet fallen into the WoW crack yet. It takes money that I don't have--and too much time.

*nods* Whereas I really don't have the time for tabletop gaming anymore - WoW fits much better into the tiny bits and pieces of time I can manage to find.

And grats!!

I give you major props for playing the two classes I just can't bring myself to get past 6 and 11 (rogue and pally, respectively). Go you! :)

Inez's Stitchery in Kensington had a lot of needlework stuff last time I was there, but it's like a relic of another age.

You might get a kick out of one of the current Anti-Craft projects

I've seen that book in Borders. It's a bit lame, though, just naughty sayings. I thought they at least ought to have charts for naughty pictures as well.

Ahaha. It's been surprisingly cool here (er, in the 70s instead of the 90s) and I just borrowed the old P&P from a friend. Unfortunately, I'm going to miss the apple festival.
