Books! Hair! Clothes! MOMMY!
Sep. 28th, 2010 01:05 pmI has a Mommy! \o/
She came in on Saturday night, and she'll be leaving next Monday. In the meantime, my at-home internet time has been severely curtailed. I love y'all, but Mommy > Internet. Shocking, I know. In the meantime, I'm doing what I can to keep up with everything at work. This is made difficult by the fact that the new Parasol Protectorate book by
gailcarriger came out. I keep getting distracted by things like Lord Maccon (a werewolf) drinking all of Professor Lyall's specimens (sheep embryos preserved in formaldehyde), and commenting that he likes the "pickled crunchy snacks". And also Alexia's everything. (rolls in it) If you have not read the first two, don't read the Amazon blurb when you inevitably seek to purchase this awesomeness. Consider this series highly recommended by your friendly neighborhood Faerii. Steampunk Supernatural Mystery with a kickass heroine and a good dose of humor? Fuck yeah.
On Sunday, I dragged my Mommy out shopping. :D We picked up sunglasses, Tropic Thunder (always wanted that movie), a couple of hats, some inexpensive yet adorable clothes, purple leggings, a plaid bodice, one teeny top hat, an Athena Costume and a purple petticoat. Today, I shall take a trip to the craft store for fabric paint/dye, tulle and ribbon. My mother is an artsy sort. With our powers combined, we can have a lot of fun with this.
In related news, I've decided to let my cousin chop four inches off and layer my hair. :| It is a trial run, and I only agreed because she said it would look awesome with the rainbows. She will loan me her Super Expensive Professional Stylist Curling Iron for the trip, and show me how to use it. This is how dedicated I am, you guys. I'm cutting my hair.
RBB proceeds. (eyes it) I. Um. Well. Let's just say that things became easier after words like "skllllpt" started being dialog. And I keep being lured into kink meme fills by She Who Has Her Own Tag.
ALSO! It's cold you guys! It was 57°F/14°C this morning! I am in a sweater! And as a result, my throat hurts. (grumble) I will only put up with fall for the sake of Wincon and Halloween. Then I will proceed to whine about missing summer. You have been warned.
