Things I've been doing outside of fencing:

More shoveling out of the ~~dump~~ guest room. I took 2 bags to a clothing swap and came back with only one, and the mini-fridge IS going on Craigslist Real Soon Now.
- In that bag from clothing swap were, incredibly, pants that fit (!)
Doing a lot of hand sewing. I now have a pair of reversible (green/purple) sleeves to go with the various headwear I've been noodling on, and this completes my 16th c. women's kit, or nearly so. These deserve a post of their own.
D. used my time spent sewing to turn me on to "Lie to Me" and "Fringe". I'm enjoying them both, especially the latter which is like a darker, more complex X-Files.
- And Anna Torv's character wears perhaps the best tailored suits I've seen on a woman on tv. Yes, even better than Agent Scully!
I've found some forgotten goodies in the course of cleaning out my fabric backlog. A red and gold brocade wants to be a Victorian-esque waistcoat, and a navy and gold cotton (batik?) might want to be a Miyake, or something else Special.
Reading The Alienist, a fitting follow up for the much enjoyed Dust and Shadows.
Discovering plus size steampunk/militaria and free patterns.
Not keeping up with my email very well.
Missing writing. May steal some time to do so, if only for myself.
Trying and failing both to get in bed on time and meditate.

Does the mini-fridge work ? And what size is it ?

The mini-fridge does work, and is clean. I don't have exact dimensions, but roughly 2 1/2' tall x 18" wide by 18" deep. Are you interested?

Hrm. ::gives it a think:: No, I think I want to stick with a bigger fridge at the booth, but thanks for giving me the info !

"The Alienist" is brilliant. There is a sequel, "The Angel Of Darkness", which is just as yummy.

Thanks for the tip - I may have the sequel as well!

As it is, I don't know how either got in the house - neither D. nor I remember getting them :P
