AUGH. "Oh, tape stuff for the tape I don't have, so only dialogues to AUGH SIX DIALOGUES WTF." Well that was a wall o' cyrillic. Ow my brain. The good thing is I followed a lot of it. The bad thing is it took forever to transcribe.

Jeans were acquired. The really sad thing is that even short jeans, by Lee jeans standards at least, are long enough that I end up stepping on the heels. And putting these jeans on, they're so thin! They really don't make jeans to last anymore, do they? I mean, these aren't $12/pair wal-mart jeans that you'd kind of expect to be made by the lowest bidder, either. These are name brand, supposedly trusted jeans. Well, I guess we'll see how long they last. Sigh. Where's my cane and those kids on my lawn.

Mmph. At this point as far as my parkour practice in the park goes, it's not my agility that's in question, it's my ability to run for any length of time. Thank you, asthma. When I was in college there was an indoor track, and I did a lot more running than I do now, but having been out of college for several years any stamina I might have built up for that has been shot. Plus the humidity out makes it irksome to breathe and run anyway. That said, my energy levels are back up to where I feel they should be, and my body seems to once again be working properly. Seems. We'll see how true that is in another 3-4 weeks.

(Oh, and for my new Russian speaking friend/any other Russian speakers who are wandering by here, the routine is that dialogue gets typed up one day, and then I translate it for the next 2-3 days. And now you know! And knowing is half the battle. Go Joe.)

It is freezing in the damn store and I forgot my sweater argh. That is, I forgot to take my sweater off when I went home yesterday, and then forgot to bring it back today. Argh argh. You wouldn't think, being in the United States and with the heat wave going on in most of the United States, that I would have cause to complain about the cold. But you'd be wrong.

At some point I really need to get off my lazy ass and do all the mending/sewing that I keep meaning to do and haven't yet. First off, I think, my skirts. Which I'm not sure what even that'll involve, except possibly patches and stitch-witchery. And then more patches. I might see if there's any seams I can hand-sew, and do that tonight while I watch White Collar. Maybe pick a garment every few nights and patch it or cut it up for rags. Because some things are really threadbare enough that they'd either need huge patches or to be discarded entirely. On the plus side, I'm loving my new jeans? I just hate having to throw out clothes every few years because I've worn them through. Especially freaking jeans. These should work harder than that!

Right. God, I have so many projects going I need to figure out which ones to tackle first. Filing, I guess, first of all. Then cutting out a bottom for my whistle quiver, later today, and that might be the only project I have time for today. I also have yarn to separate onto two bobbins, and then ply it. A fingerless glove I started knitting, and, no, I think that's it for in-progress projects. Apart from the painting and spinning that's always kind of ongoing, and the repairs. Okay, not so many projects. Nngh. Friendship bracelets. None of which I have with me at the moment, though, so that's a moot point. When, I ask you, will I learn.

(The answer, of course, is never. Crafters never learn these things, that's why our homes end up in periodically tidied piles of crafty crap. Ah well.)

The closer I get to Dragon*Con, the more jittery I get about it. Sunday I definitely need to start assembling my Tron costume. It shouldn't be that hard, but I need to get my ass moving on it before I'm down to the wire and freaking out. Sunday. Yes.
