Ephemerals

Once upon a time, my computer (marginally named "Duo") and my husband's computer ("Darth Winslow") both ran on Windows and were linked to one another. We could access anime on the other computer and watch it on our own. (It should be noted that I did so more than he did.) Then came the installation of Linux. And since then the connection between the two has been severed. Until this weekend, when Wonderful Husband figured out how to connect them again. All hail the Wonderful Husband!

elenisiliel has seemingly gotten left with the kitten she was kitten-sitting. And while he is very cute and I would like another cat, and so would our cat, I think, he is also an ill-mannered little beastie. A hissy, fuzzy spitting ball of hate sometimes indeed. Plus two cats would be pushing it with Wonderful Husband's asthma. Le'sigh.

We live in a townhouse, and the woman renting the over-the-garage apartment from our neighbor is, well, I hate to sound like this, but "white trash" is the best term to come to mind. Woke me up at 8a.m. on a Sunday in a argument with her boyfriend, and turned the TV loud on an evangelist program when it was done. Um, common courtesy? I feel sorry for elenisiliel, who actually shares a wall with her.

And, finally, limping this weekend. Don't know what I've done to it, but the ball of my left foot hurts when I step on it. Yet the pain did not surface at all when Wonderful Husband gave me a footrub last night. Guess I'm wearing my soft-soled sandals until it stops hurting.

Train switching tracks

Hmm. Well, major costume plans for this year have been kind of derailed due to several factors, many of which are beyond any of our group's control. So... back to the drawing board? Need to rethink the year's plans. Started back in on Fuu again, though, fixing a line on the trim and repositioning one of the snap balls. Need to reposition it again about three-quarters of an inch inward, though. Also drafted the yin-yang symbol and pulled out some of the leftover white silk from my wedding dress (wedding dress fabric=good luck!) and some of the leftover black silk from Oruha and Sophia. Am debating how best to do the applique as I want two layers of the white to keep it bright.
