Around 8:00 this evening, my grandmother passed away. I don't know the exact time, because I was teaching a class. I wasn't informed (officially) until I got home at around 10:30. She wasn't alone while she was dying, but she still waited until people were out of the room to finally let go ( Read more... )

I've been too tired to think about interaction on the internets. It's a disservice to all you wonderful folks to have to listen to me bitch about how tired I am whenever I get on AIM. July was an absolute shit stain on the underpants of life, and I hope that August will be better.

Yes, I'm still scribbling things. Yes, I still want to make ( Read more... )

Got up at 5am to watch That Wedding in London. I'm in it for the fascinators and the military uniforms. (And thanks for the drive-by body shame, broadcasters!

Well, to make this post have some substance/lols, I've planned out my outfit for tomorrow: lavender button down, grey vest, black pants, black ( Read more... )

Well, I've been in the States for a few days and I need to get my ass in gear, resolutions-wise, so let's finish this thing ( Read more... )

Today was another of those lazy days, since my dad is still out of commission. He got to sleep for most of the day, and I attempted something more substancial than tea and toast. It seems to be sticking. I spent the day on the internets, watching LP's and a K-Drama with my cousin ( Read more... )

There was more visiting of relatives on Wednesday, and I continue to see that the Crafting Gene extends far into my family: one of my aunts (a cousin of my mom's, if you want to be exact) has taken up cake decorating, making flowers from clay and wax, and jewlery making. She also brought out an album with Somewhat Embarassing Photos of myself and ( Read more... )
