procrastinate much?
so, after five and half years, i have finally located a fabric store near me. and it's really, really near me. of course, i didn't know the name of the local chain until last year, but i'm a good enough web searcher i shouldn't have needed it. right? oh well. whatever. walked in and felt right at home. okay, they didn't have what i actually needed (who knew it was that hard to find a small piece of real suede?), but it was still a real fabric store. joy! i now have an extreme desire to sew. okay, i've actually been having that urge for a while, which may be why i finally got around to locating a store. the problem is that i have no excuse to sew. not going to any SCA events in the foreseeable future. nor am i going to anything where i'd want to cosplay...in any style or subject. i did pick up a vest pattern last week, so maybe i'll pick out the cloth and notions for that. and i should snoop through the pattern books to see if i can find myself a good pattern for a Victorian style coat. 'cuz i can wear simple vests and coats with every day clothing. yeah. there we go. i have a plan...and an an excuse to sew.
in other news, i have the French translation of my thesis Abstract, which was the last piece of the thesis that i needed. tomorrow i will venture out to get the sucker photocopied. i need seven copies. we're not even sure what some of the copies are for, but that's what they say i have to have. i'm feeling perhaps a little nervous. or maybe not. or maybe so. i don't know. either way, this is where the action really starts. in six weeks or so, i may actually have a PhD. *shivers* okay, i think i'm more weirded out that nervous. though i really, really don't want to do my defense. well, i don't care about the presentation part, but i fear the question part. ugh.
it occurs to me that i forgot to eat dinner. sure, i had a very late lunch, but that was still a loooooong time ago. so now the question is sleep? or eat?
