In a 2004 Q&A for the Buffistas
I didn't even notice that in the article. Now it just leaves me feeling like someone saw my underwear.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

HOLY SHIT: McGill's MBA program went from under $2000 a year to $29,000 as a tuition jump within one year!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
McGill was seriously one of the best bargains in quality education out there. It was $600/semester when I started and $1200/semester when I left¹. I'm not sure how the MBA program managed to stay so cheap--I imagined it had crept up in the 20 years since I was there.
I mean, it was one of the top 15 universities in the world at the time, and we had a shitload of American students there because it was cheaper for them to be international students there than go to their own state schools back home.
¹:Oh, the ruckus at the raise! One of my best friends chained herself to the outside of the Registrar's Office in protest. Given that I'd lent her a semester's tuition just beforehand and she was also shamelessly abusing bursaries...I mean, she just showed up at this McGill office and they gave her money...I had medium to little sympathy for her.

Sorry. Shit. Wrong topic! I thought I was in Natter.
Um... we CAN talk crafts. I've made cake pops again. Successfully. The ones at Starbucks are not so good.

Oh, god, where are we?
I got nothing crafty, unless someone wants to tell me how to make a chrome effect in Gimp.

ita, I've kind of forgotten how to crochet. Which is sad. I miss it. Not as much as I miss reading, but close.

I haven't crocheted anything since my scarf and hat binge of so many years ago. And shawls--but what was that about? When was I going to wear them? They were fun, though.
How's knitting?
My main artsy issues is learning how to use colour in my illustrations. I just can't master the technique, and I don't know where to go to learn. Trial and error is mostly error for me right now.

Don't knit either anymore. Crafts have gone by the wayside of life. Between life and work (52 kids in each of my classes next year!) I am sort of drowning.
I am promising myself to complete 3 separate quilts (two of them with Thing 1 and Thing 2 fabric) and rag rugs.

I miss the feel and the mechanical nature of the projects. And then...there's a thing! You get a thing!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I crocheted a Blue Valentine scarf for my friend's Oscar party. I think I gave it to her when I left. It was basically this [link] done with blue yarn.
