being good

Back to the old grind, but strangely it doesn't feel that "grindy" for a Monday morning...

Short weekend: took D. out to the newly discovered Indian Sunday brunch yesterday. Important thing to remember about buffets: don't try and eat everything! We did NOT have dinner :P

"Fingersmith" got here on Friday - much bleaker and Dickensian in overall tone than "Tipping the Velvet" but still very sweet and tantalizing, and very faithful to the book :) Again, terrific acting/cast/costumes (AFAIK; I'm no expert on the 19th century, but they look about right).

Started cutting out pirate coat.

After several days of recuping started the next chapter for my class - I'm behind but not irretrievably so. If I owe you email/fic/phone call and haven't followed through, this is the main culprit - take it up with my prof :P Hopefully will get this caught up today.

( from idragosani - splice my timber! )

( from bunny_sonatas - ahoy there, matey! )

Pirate coat front: well, the front is cut out, at least! Will be slow going but I'm crossing my fingers for Halloween...

mini movie reviews

No daytime tv for me! In the past week I've seen more movies than I care to count! Ok, not all of these are since Weds. but most are:

( snipped for your pleasure )

I'm sure there were more, but I likely slept through at least parts of them :/
