What I did Friday night: rope corset, front; rope corset, back, rope gauntlet.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
What I did Friday night:
Alex, I'll take "Knot taught in Scouts" for 400, please. Very neat, Teppy. Was that as much painstaking work as I think it was?
Poor Seska, I'm sorry that your dissertation is being such a... a... dissertation. Dissertations, right up there with polar bears.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's super cool, Tep.

And they say macrame's not cool.

The only painstaking part was weaving the skinny white rope into the inverted V shapes on the front of the corset. The rest of it is REALLY easy and fairly quick. You just make a larkshead, loop the rope through the larkshead, wrap the rope around the arm (or torso), and go back and forth with it. The gauntlet and the corset are done exactly the same way -- just different locations.
(The top part of the corset -- the part that goes around the neck and across the chest -- isn't actually part of a rope corset; it's a different thing, and most rope corsets are made without it. The bottom part of the corset -- the part that went down in front of the general pants-zipper area -- is ALSO not part of a rope corset; I just had leftover rope and wanted to do something decorative with it.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That is really cool, Teppy.

Our wings are not tired.
How are you feeling today, Anne?

Great job, Teppy!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm more overall achy today than yesterday. Judging from the bruises on my knees, I hit the floor a lot harder than I thought, and I started to feel it this morning. What's really worrying is that I've had a few more bouts of near-lightheadedness when I start doing things too quickly. I'm giving my doctor a call tomorrow.
