Fuck relative clauses in the eye with a stick. Ugh.

But I finished my Tetsuo cloak last night! All but for the bottom hems, which don't actually need to be done considering the cloak is supposed to be in somewhat ragged condition anyway. I might redo one seam that was the last to be done last night, mostly because I kind of half-assed that one. I was tired and I just thought of putting it there, since I've been making this up since I finished the body of the cloak. There isn't exactly a pattern for a Tetsuo cloak, and I didn't entirely want to just do a rectangle of fabric, I wanted something a little more put together. But I can unpick that later and tack it down properly and re-sew it properly, so. And then lower edge hems! And. That's it.

Today, god, I need to fucking finish drafting Gods and Monsters, but that seems to be the usual Tuesday refrain. Once I get these costumes done maybe that'll be less of a Tuesday refrain and more of a Monday or even a Sunday refrain? Anyway, tonight's project is sewing the other cape, my Huntress cape, just getting the body done and then edging it with white later. And, heh, we'll see how long it ends up being. I swear I chopped length off the Tetsuo cape and somehow it ended up floor length anyway. Well, slightly above floor length once I'm done hemming it. But still. Goddamn.

So, that's tonight, actually most of the Huntress costume is this week except for little bits of other costumes that I'm finishing this week and holy hell this might even be mostly done by early next month. Bloody hell. Still boggled.

Not much new on other fronts, though. Exercise continues, writing continues, gardening continues. Poking and analyzing things continues. Languages continue, though not much of them yesterday on account of there was afternoon migraine. Hopefully today will be less migrainey and more productivey.

I've also been watching Orphan Black. I have Thoughts on Orphan Black, most of which amounts to "oh, hey, this really is good" and "oh you MOTHERFUCKERS" but that will wait till another time.

Adopt one today! Adopt one today! Adopt one today!

And suddenly relative clauses are everywhere, the hell is up with that.

OH DEAR GOD IT'S OVER THANK THE MOTHER. Ugh. I feel more rested (after less sleep, too), more alert, more hopeful about things in general and much less headachy. At which point I kind of have to wonder if the depressing was a result of feeling exhausted and headachy rather than hormones screwing with my emotions but, eh, either way. Plus the weather's showing temperatures in the fifties for the next five days. Low fifties, so, February appropriate, but still! YAY.

And last night's girl's night in was a resounding success. I'm not sure we'll always have such good luck with TV shows but damn that was exactly what was needed. Along with the foot soak, booze, and truffles. And relaxing. And hot men on my screen. And it was all exactly what was needed. Yum. Definitely something we should do more often, although I have no idea when the next one will be.

Of course this does absolutely nothing for my omg people are coming over and our house is still a mess anxiety, but I'm not really sure anything will. At least the boy did share some plans for what he's going to clean up, so I can strike those things off my list. Still. Tonight is going to be an exercise in ... maybe not, how fast can I get this blog post done, so much as, how efficiently can I stick to a schedule. Alternating after guitar practice, hour of blog, hour of cleaning. Or something. There's also always the possibility that it's not actually as complicated as I think. Though we still do need all the trash cans ever. I thought we had enough. Turns out not so much!

Right. I have a shitpile of things to do today, so let's get doing. Statement of intent so I can look back on this and remember later: first non-day-job priority today is finish up Cape Rouge as much as I can from my notes. Now that my head's not throbbing this should be relatively easy! Second non-day-job priority, finish coding Leviathan stuff and/or translating to Russian. Break for German at noon, break for line edits at five. Home, guitar, then alternating blog things and cleaning till bedtime. If I finish the Cape Rouge today, fine, if not, tomorrow morning.

Headache still here. Sense of impending doom slowly fading? Although not spelling anything right or using the correct English prepositions is not helping, brain, what the fuck is wrong with you. Toggle better.

(Sí, claro que estoy cambiando rapido entre español y inglés, pero de niña pude hacer eso sin problema. Ahora, claro que no. Y debo practicar mi ruso, y me duele mi cabeza, y ... )

Okay, never mind. Whine more, why don't you.

I do, at least, have chocolates for tonight. Chocolates, all the material for foot soaks, Being Human is free on Amazon, I have wine and whiskey to choose from, probably wine because dinner will be spaghetti, so, a nice red will go perfectly. And the rest of the world can just fuck right off for a little bit. We have earned this goddamn respite.

Heh. More things I'm not saying in public because that would be mean and petty and serve no useful purpose, but I disagree so hard with some of the things the Once showrunners are doing in their approach to the overall story. I'm not even watching it anymore, I'm just catching bits and pieces of interviews because a couple friends repost them. There's maybe a couple contexts where statements like that would make sense, and I wish I had enough faith to think that was the case, but, um. No. Just, no. Cheetos and Mountain Dew and little else.

Okay, no, I have work to do, I can't continue to sit here and chew on Vince's twitter account. That would be silly. Come on, self, let's get back to work and then maybe there will be less work in the future I can't even type that with a straight face. The reward for work well done is, all together now? Yeah, I thought so.
