I have been entertaining myself since my last posting by making new icons. Two of them. I’m not very fast at this. :) And stealing icons. I’m not very fast at that, either. :) I shall spare you the iconlove and put them behind :) Created: Snurched:
research question
Can anybody, by any chance, tell me what swimwear (for white women (ie, wives, daughters of plantation owners) specifically) in the Caribbean in the 1650s or so would have been like, or if the whole idea is just so beyond the pale that legions of outraged society mothers would rise up from their graves to castigate me for the idea of sending their precious plantation daughters into the water? I can only get the net to cough up stuff from either pre-Roman times or 18th century on. (In a way…
I have no willpower.
I have no willpower. At *all*. I was just going to watch two episode, but I accidentally put the 5th disc in without having watched the 4th. And the first episode that didn’t matter, but the second was all full of ‘previously on Gilmore Girls’ stuff that made no sense. So I had to go ‘buh?’ and look at the 4th disc, and then I had to see the whole storyline leading up to the ‘previously on’ bit on the 5th disc, and then I had to watch that episode…
this is sort of liberating!
Screwed around a fair amount this morning (made bread, cleaned the kitchen, played solitaire, shaved my legs…) and consequently only wrote 3500 words, but I actually stopped at 2pm with a list of notes for the next scenes. This is rather liberating. I’m not staring at Nook not wanting to be there and struggling to get One. More. Page. And then. Another. out, I’m just feeling fairly pleased with what I’ve accomplished and not worrying about the rest of it right now. I’m pushing 65K and expect to hit 300…
v. pleased
I’m feeling very pleased with myself just now. In an attempt to avoid watching Gilmore Girls, I thought I’d do a drawing, maybe one last shot at my Anna Paquin/Rogue drawing before I tried a big final version. Except I did a really good job, so this one is the final version! Muahah! It doesn’t look quite like Anna Paquin, but I do think it looks like *Rogue*, so I am very happy with it. The scan’s of god-awful quality, but it’s good enough. Happy me!
