dragondancer515, femme4jack, mmouse15 for their birthday wishes, and hoshikage for a birthday fic chapter! The birthday itself was unexceptional; I tend to get depressed around my birthday concerning varying things including the state of humanity, but my worldview improved after work finished and I could indulge in a strong-tasting snack. I got books from toothycat (yay!), a few Blu-Rays from my parents-in-law, a G1 Bumblebee pillow from my sister-in-law (yes, I will take and post a pic soon for all of you), and the Singer puzzle box from my Wonderful Husband. I believe my parents and sister have got me something as well, but that gets to wait for the weekend.
Among the sewing bloggers community, there are challenges similar to NaNoWriMo except for stitching. "Me Made May" and "Self Stitched September" are the two that come to mind ATM. The goal is to wear something you made every single day for a month. I look at my wardrobe and kind of laugh; I don't have nearly enough self-made clothing to attain that goal. I have decided to do my own challenge this month, which is "Stitch Some September." My goal is to sew every day and knock some projects off my slate. Tonight, with the assistance of Sushi and Paris, I have worked on the collar for my early medieval gown. A little bit more pinning and then I can do the second topstitching layer (I am not doing 100% handsewing on this and have made the active decision not to care if my decidedly non-period seam finishes show) and be done with it.
While pinning, I watched my next episode of Transformers: Prime, "A Sick Mind." At the point when Ratchet said of the crash ship, "If they were in stasis mode, there may be survivors," I immediately piped up "No there aren't! I've seen this episode of Star Trek." And when they needed someone to go into Megatron's mind, I immediately went all G1, referencing "Evil brainwaves!" (Yes,hoshikage, giggle all you want.) Really, though, given the episode's title, the cliffhanger to part II seemed rather obvious from the beginning.
