Oh, wow

And now I understand this song better. And it goes in the "Good Humanist Songs" playlist.

What's your reputation? Ecstasy.
What's your destination? Next to me.

Astonishing how good music is fractal - it always rewards looking closer . . . .

Many Happy Returns of the Day

Happy Solar Return Day, greeneyedpagan! (It's the day before mine, isn't it? But everone else seems to be giving you your goodwishes today . . .)

I hate it when the tools go walkabout

My little beading tool set is not in my beading box. The only thing I really need to finish my Blessed Ireland necklace is the round-nose pliers (I have my crimping pliers and a pair of wire-cutters that were not part of the set, and a set of chain-nose pliars that I bought on clearance somewhere) - but the whole set is missing. I looked through my yarn stash, thinking I might have dropped it in the wrong box somehow - no such luck. I even cleaned under the bed, all the way to my horde-boxes, and they didn't manage to roll down there, either. Not a clue where they could be.

So now I can either (a) go by a craft store and hope that their less-than-excellent beading supplies contain a pair of round-nose pliers, and finish this tonight, too late for my birthday party, or (b) order another, slightly better tool kit online, and wait a week for it to come in.

Things being what they are, I will probably end up doing both.


(Oh, and just to add insult to material loss, the Apollocon website says that the CoC LARP is cancelled. This removes approximately half my reason for going. Grr. And I'm not preregistered, either. Someone please talk me out of skipping the con altogether at this point, because I'm seriously considering it . . .)
