I should be working...

[unforth]

I really need to start, you know, doing my job, but why do that when I can procrastinate just a little bit longer?

Went over to dyrecorn and miraeko's last night. Watched a very strange movie, Secretary, which I rather enjoyed all things considered. I've been trying to figure out how to classify it, but have been unable to think of any standard category it fits in...I think my brain has added it to my "romance" category, but anyone who has seen it might think I'm a weirdo for that. :)

Have spent the morning working and procastinating in equal parts. I'm excited about my casting for the Apocolypse game, but I needs to do me some research so I looked up some library call numbers for books I'll grab tonight, and I started trying to hunt down a pattern for an amazing formal Kimono. (none of the commonly available patterns are nice enough in my opinion) ...this is proving more difficult than expected, though. Everyone wants to sell you Yukata's, while I want a "furisode" kimono, the most formal that can be worn by an unmarried woman, often worn to weddings. These are made with nicer fabric, and are cut differently too. :) I have to find the pattern fast, though, so here's hoping. :) (I want one that looks rather like this picture)

Have a nice day, everyone!

there is a casting for the game already?....grrr I hate being like the only person not on the lists......

I know how you feel, we weren't on the list for like 2 1/2 months.

[drydem.livejournal.com]

you will be on the list very soon. And your casting is Nuala ap Eiluned, Exiled Queen of Munster in Ireland

If you're looking to get casting for the Feb 5 Apocalypse game, then email my username at livejournal dot com, and I should get it. Then we can send you the questionnaire and hand you a nifty goddess of the underworld, death, and / or destruction. :)

I thought you were weird anyway. Though this doesn't change that.

I have a pattern, but I doubt it's what your looking for. However, I have some nice brocade material I bought to make a kimono a few years ago, and I don't think I'm ever going to use it, so if you'd like it...

I was going to come over last night, btw, but just when I was going to call you, miraeko told me on AIM that you'd just left for their house. So I made brownies on my own instead.

Sorry about that! I thought you would call if you were coming over, so when you didn't call we headed out. :( Sorry again. As for the brocade, I need to see just what the pattern I find - if I find one - calls for. But possibly, yes! :)

I wore a furisode once, it almost killed me. ^^

[unforth.livejournal.com]

I guess I have a lot to look forward to, then. :)

You'll be fine...unless it decides to be around 100 degrees in February.

[unforth.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a sado-masochistic romance. It's...different...:)

[kniedzw.livejournal.com]

It's teh awesome!

Seriously, Maggie G. was phenomenal, and the narrative itself managed to portray S&M in a reasonably positive light, so I have to give them props.

That movie made me feel dirty, but alot more sane.

Um, also, you can't put on formal Kimono by yourself. I think I will bring my kimono (plural) over tonight, so you can experiment. You are also welcome to borrow, if you want, though I do not have a furisode- they are hideously expensive.
