Curtains

Oct 27, 2005 18:46

I remember a morning some years ago, when I was in the middle of a winter spate of wardrobe gigs. If memory serves- and in this case, it's iffy- this was the aftermath of sunset I watched out the streetcar window, on my way to a movie set- in full knowledge that when the sun rose again, I'd already be on another set all the way across town, ( Read more... )

Ha! This is *exactly* what I was thinking.

I know that you come from the "Zoar's Mum's School of Wardrobe Construction and Interior Design," which is to say, you want the things you create to be so perfectly finished they can be worn/hung inside out. But ... but but but ...

Curtains are but hanging squares (rectangles, whatever), and perfect hems can wait while serviceable ones get the job done. You can *totally* do this on deadline.

Of course, if this is simply a "I *know* I can do it, but I'd rather be working on something a little more fun" post, well .. Amen, Sister! That I understand.

(And a wee poo on Rob for not being more clear with you. Unless of course he likes ... ugh ... never mind.) :-)

Oh, um.. *blush*

You DO know me rather well, don't you?

And you are really very, extremely right- CURTAINS- not brain surgery. Rectangles. Maybe pockets, maybe tabs, or maybe even those stupid little clippy things.

And the last sentance? Uh-huh, like that. *rolls eyes*

But-but-but... the corset, it's already cut! And it's beaded! And it will look perfect over the aubergine velvet gown that I can wear to the gig, and then just the corset on over that for the fet...!

Curtains.

I can do curtains.

(Don't have to LIKE it, though!)

Curtains? What are those?? lisebailey October 28 2005, 02:58:19 UTC

What I found funniest about this is that Rob would even care if there were curtains. Does he think he's going to be arrested for illegal gambling if the neighbours see? (It's legal as long as the house isn't raking the pot). I'm pretty sure my SO would never think to ask me to make curtains... oh, and if you're not going to play, by all means remove yourself from the scene - it's pretty boring to listen to, and I don't think you want to play the pretty wifey serving pretzels and beer. Or maybe you do?

I'm very happy to hear that you've visited our sea captain. I haven't gotten around to it myself. Do you think it's possible to sneak something tasty past the nurses? If I could think of something suitably healthy and delicious I'd like to bring it, as being the best get-well gift I can think of.

Oh CHRIST no...

No, hon... he doesn't actually have full ability to swallow. Thick liquids only. As of today, very small sips of water. I know he'd appreciate the thought, but near as I can tell he physically can't manage neither solid food nor true liquids yet.

(And hey, nice to see you here! :-)

Re: Curtains? What are those?? lisebailey October 28 2005, 14:22:54 UTC

Yeah ... when we saw him on Saturday, everything he drank had to be thickened ... even coffee (I'm not sure if that makes me sad for Isak or for the coffee!). When Chuckwagon went to see him on Sunday, he was instructed to bring some Chantico (Starbucks' thick chocolate drink).

I had the exact same reaction, though -- everything I could think of to bring would probably be verboten!

Re: Curtains? What are those?? artistatlarge October 28 2005, 16:12:46 UTC

*is confused*

Would be helpful if you could email a cheatsheet as to who these noms-de-net belong... Chuckwagon? Isak?

And for that matter, who might *you* be, O Anonymous One?

I can pretty much guarantee that you wouldn't want to play hostess for this particular event. It's POKER. It's the guys' night out, their excuse to be... well... guys.

So take yourself OUT of the house and do something YOU like to do! (and if you promise not to spend a penny more than he loses at poker, he'll be extra careful.)

artistatlarge October 28 2005, 16:14:06 UTC

Oh, if only it were so simple!

1) A good third of them, including the Big Boss, are actually chicks.

2) He doesn't really lose at poker.

But still... am feeling bolder all the time about just, you know, bailing altogether; there IS an event that night which has my interest. ;-)
