To all those (probably not directed at me anyway) comments that are in my email and flist about Midsummers: I'm sorry but I can't. I won't. The end.

Worked 13 hours today. Came home. Made an obi for Masaomi. Folded up Masaomi's kimono and obi and shirt and got them into his furoshiki (pics were taken too, coming soon). I cut out the purple for the jacket! This is a huge step. Next is the gold, then interfacing, then lining and binding. I played with the material for the pants a bit, but didn't do anything with it.

While all that was getting accomplished, we watched "The Other Boleyn Girl". Actually quite an awesome movie. With pretty under-appreciated Jim Sturgess too. ^__^

Tomorrow is truck, then craziness, then home. I want to go work out tomorrow night too, since I'm already feeling like it. Wednesday I get off early to go to the doctor, so get the whole afternoon and evening to myself and Masaomi. Then overnight thursday to friday for the HD rotation. Which ... hopefully... will not suck. Hopefully.

Midsummer's went very well for opening night. Maya's adventure for tonight was in finishing a pair of partially-assembled Hakama in about two hours. I'm a little proud. I feel pretty lame that I can't help with the kitsuke though... after all these years, I think it may be time to look into serious study of the art... I hear there's a school in Boulder.
Tomorrow I get to go upstairs when the house opens and be an okyakusan! I'm terribly excited.

I have two additional tickets each for Satuday at 2 pm and Sunday at 7 pm. If anyone wants to come up to Fort Collins to see the best Kabuki/Noh/Kyogen version of Shakespere EVER, then give me a call. Or swing by the Lory Student Center Theatre before the show and ask where Maya is... most everyone backstage knows me now.

Tickets are only $6 for non-students and $3 for students, so anyone and everyone that can make it should come - this really is a once-in-a-lifetime show. ^___^

I finished watching //a//symmetry.
Stupid Japan. Let your damn gay boys be happy once in a while, would you? It was actually quality acting and production though.
Damn pretty gay doctor Araki... I think I'll probably watch the movie a few more times in the future.

Made it through truck. Spent the whole morning moving rediculous amount of Coke products around the backroom.

Now it's time to go to rehersal at CSU... but I am so tired. I mean, I was falling asleep on hold with SOS this afternoon... anyway.... I'm off. Hopefully I can be useful somehow.

Why yes, we did get to watch up through episode 5 of Firefly with starlit_dragon last night. The above line from "Schindig" was tentimes funnier to me post-Kite than it used to be. and even without strange TeniPuri jokes, I remembered that I love that show so very very much. ^__^

This morning there's an email in my gmail inbox:
"Zeteram's birthday is in 7 days (Nov. 29)" And my first thought is, no it's not! It should be Dec. 4th! >.>
Anyway, I'm already somewhat prepared for starlit_drgon's bday, which /is/ on the 29th.
Last night I got my 6th gym badge (!) after which the world got crazy, and I am now desperately afraid that I somehow advanced the plot too far and lost Riley. I also had nightmares about kimono not being done for midsummers and now I want to panic and sew all day. Which unfortunately actually means going to my store to get sensei's fabrics, calling her to have her pay for them, and then sewing until about noon-thirty when I have to pack out and head up to CSU for their half of the costume workshop. Now, I have no trouble going... as long as I'm not packing up either of my machines, because my travel machine is crap and my good machine is not portable. And I finally have my serger set up the way I like it and don't particularly want to shove it back in a box. >.>

Anyway... I guess I'll set the next episode of Ryuusei no Kizuna downloading and then get to sewing. That would probably be smart.

Also, this is going to be a bad weekend for too many posts... I apologize in advance.

Because apparently it feels all wrong to go a day without a nice checklist of things to keep me focused. I'm getting spoiled by the 4x4 walk papers at work.
Things to do today:
xMeet senseix
--Lysander wedding kimono
--"wings" for Moth (blue) - serger with black/gold
--"wings" for Moth (white for Wedding) - (serger with white/silver/kagetoki's polyneon)
--cut the-fabric-formerly-known-as-Saku's-Brocade to be a second kimono (same size as Lysander)
---Fill out and sign form for Sensei (because she really does want to pay me. o.o whut?)
-trash out of my car
-trash out for appartment
-buy gas (under $2! OMG!)
-VACCUM APARTMENT! (still needs middle-section when I have more help with wires)
-dishes and run dishwasher
-call Country about proof of insurance
-call Nice Car about taillight estimate
-Finish and turn in benefits form for work

And now newly added:
-TRUCK at 4:30 5 pm! o.o (So much for a day off. I figured it would be Gary again this week, but did they really have to call just when I was ready to settle into kimono?)
