It's astonishing what I can get done while procrastinating on grading, it really is. The answer to the question "How long does it take
omorka to string a four-strand 19" necklace using a combination of pressed glass, seed beads, and some cute brass leaf charms" is "exactly the length of the extended edition of LotR: The Two Towers with the production/post-production team commentary on." Not that anyone other than me was curious about that, probably. I'll try and post pictures of it tomorrow when I can get them in sunlight (the camera is damned fussy about artificial light).
When did I end up with this many freshwater pearls? I have no idea what I'm going to do with some of the odd colors. I have way more pearls and less glass than I thought. I also have tons of pressed glass leaves left over from the aforementioned four-strand necklace; I'm debating making a three-strand version for the services auction at the UU church.
Ah, well. Here's those
I don't know if I agree with this . . . but I can't think of a better match, either.

My life is rated NC-17.
What is your life rated?
. . . I'm guessing this is for the language and the nudity, because there's surely not enough sex to get this rating.
I'm a Hobbit!

Though technically not your own race, you represent what's most enjoyable and best in the Lord of the Rings world. Your love, spirit and selflessness are unsurpassed among your Middle Earth brethren.
Which Lord of the Rings race are you?
I'm finding the juxtaposition between these two . . . amusing. :)
Critics would give my life a B+.

Welcome to the pinnacle of average budget movies. That's right, short of a few million dollars to burn on cars, lawsuits and animal training, this is probably the highest you could get. Not that that's a bad thing, the B+ rating is much higher than most movies. You take a normal life and incorporate enough Hollywood clichés to woo the critics over to your side. Sure, you don't have Matrix-like funds to blow up five third-world countries in your pursuit of the most amazing action possible, but you've done very well with what you have. Between dodging lawsuits with fake names and buying time bombs that stop at :01 on their own, you make life look much more exciting than it actual is, and the critics love you for it.
What rating would critics give your life?
*shrug* For not having much of a special effects budget, this isn't bad, I suppose.

You are a Folkie. Good for you.

Wait, this can't possibly be right. I'm supposed to get the Hippie. What happened? It must have been the paisley question.

![]() | You scored as D'Artagnan. You are D'Artagnan, the brash Gascon who embodies the high ideals of the Musketeer. You are sometime your own worst enemy, but your motives are pure and your character is unimpeachable. You are destined for great things and passionate (though often ill-fated) love.
