Quiet day back at work. This worked out well as I'm rather sore-throaty/muscle achey and didn't feel up to anything urgent.

D. has moved my account to a new (non-Exchange!) mail server, so hopefully any bounced mails, missed mails, or other problems will be resolved with this solution. His own mail should also be working again, if anyone's been trying to contact him.

Have spent the evening sewing eyelets, which is VERY hard on the hands and wrists, so, of course, I'm taking a break typing and browsing the web :P Findings:

Desert Torch Tailoring - fine Renaissance gear for the whole family, and some of the best men's garb I've seen online. Guys with good legs look GREAT in trunk hose; D. will surely fall prey to my first experiments in men's Elizabethan once my funds allow ;)

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] geekchick, who got it from [livejournal.com profile] mollyringwraith: LOTR parodies for The Two Towers and Return of the King. Edited highlights:

SAM: It's a shame. Now I'll never get to marry Rosie Cotton.

FRODO: (startled) YOU want to marry a girl? Really?




LEGOLAS: I didn't mean that.

ARAGORN: It's okay. Me neither.

LEGOLAS: Kiss and make up?

ARAGORN: How about I squeeze your shoulder in a very special way? (Speaking of which, ROTK is rife with lingering glances and hugs that lasted just a bit too long. I am assured that this is not just me, as the Subtext Police seem to have picked up on it :P)

Plans for the weekend: steaming the other half of the basement and going through my writing lists to find my place and possibly even write something (shock, horror!) Also will fence rapier Sunday if I don't feel worse.

OMG, their stuff is gorgeous. I'm so coveting the maroon/plum/whatever you want to call it Elizabethan gown they sold for $500. Not that I could've fit my fat arse in it anyway.

I'm sure they make to order. Besides, it takes a bit of a curvy girl to wear Elizabethan well - Gwynneth Paltrow had beautiful dresses in "Shakespeare in Love" but didn't fill them very well!

LOL Which is funny since Young Queen Liz was more coltish than curvy. Judi Dench, however, is not. :)

They do have gorgeous things and if I can ever get some $$ together, I will definitely consider them. Amazing work!
