Got a few things done recently

Jan 29, 2007 16:55

Read
  • Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
  • Notes from Underwhelmed by Haydn Sweterlisch (I met him at the skate park)
  • The Borgias by Ivan Cloulas (terrific history of Pope Alexander VI [Rodrigo Borgia] and his children Lucrezia and Cesare, late 15th century to early 16th)

    Learned
  • Studied:
    -books on dSLR, (bought a Pentax K10D)
    -handbook on roller derby rules & referee signals,
    -handbook on SCA sword-fighting rules and armor rules,
    -handbook for motorcycle basic rider course.

    Did
  • Caulked around two windows and tub (either someone did a poor job or the windows are older than the seller is claiming), have a little more to do
  • Made one steel elbow for SCA sword-fighting (I'll have to make another if I decide to use glaive instead of sword & shield) at Lord William's house with his help (he is a local, Barony of Storvik). After one day in the shop together he says he trusts me to work alone. My arms are sore from hammering but I might try to make my own knees!
  • William also helped me make a leather belt to hold up leg armor

    William is encouraging me to go to events and says he'll introduce me to the single guys. :D

    I just realized I haven't updated my catalog on Librarything in a long time.
