am I a bad person? My Aunt was slated to visit starting Thursday. My house is a wreck. My head is a wreck. I wasn't really looking forward to hosting (even tho she was getting a hotel). As my fathers side of the family goes away on vaca with no clue of what they want to do while there, and leaves to the locals to find "something interesting" for them to do.
I got a note that hotel availability in my area was so small that the prices were too high, and that she's going to cancel the visit. I did a small happy dance. I'm such a bad nephew!!! :: head->desk ::
ION, lovely So Cal Edison decided it would be a good idea to turn off my power for just a minute to upgrade my meter during a "snooze" section of my morning. So my alarm never came back on. o ya, makes for a lovely morning. ::head->desk (again...harder)::
Oh god, I have a new timesuck on the interwebs: [link]

Jilli, what is steampunk clothing? I'm only just barely beginning to understand the concept of steampunk and cyberpunk in terms of literature.
For some reason I'm picturing a gang of Starbucks thugs entering your cafeteria and smashing the place up....
Yeah, that's not gonna happen. I'm literally in the most secure building in San Francisco, probably the entire West Coast. They have their own police force. There's a firing range inside this building.
Jilli, what is steampunk clothing?
Quasi-Victorian crossed with Mad Science. Brass hardware, goggles, looking like you've escaped from a Jules Vern story and are about to threaten people with a raygun.
Sorry for the boring quilting updates, but I got the first border on this quilt and had to share. Take that, Grandpa!

Oh my. Now I have to get a girlfriend and make her wear this....
I love the notion of steampunk clothing. I'm not so fussed on the usual color scheme for it (brown, khaki, brass findings), but the idea of it is so damn cool.
