The Den of Debauchery's Subannex

Pagans for Preemies.

Mudd, last night, asked "Do modern witches ride vacuum cleaners?" my response was "No, Roombas." He grinned and said "Tenser's Floating Disc, eh?"

Viking Bubbas, bass fishing off the longboat

And a goofy plot bunny:
Sigurd dies in battle and is awaiting the valkyries. He sees them swooping down and one long slim strong hand seizes him and hauls him up over the horse's withers. "Ho yo to ho, big boy," says the pretty boy in a dress with long blond braids, bells at his wrists and no beard. "Freyja got swamped so her brother loaned a bunch of us over to her. We'll be crossing the *ahem* Rainbow Bridge in just a moment."
(I'm tired of all these butch macho guys in m/m. I want to write a full on screaming drag queen. Priests of Frey were. They dressed as women, danced with bells on, and had sex with men)

1) The Dr has certified me good to work.

2) I have an audiologist appt. Mon. We can't afford $1200 for a hearing aid, but we're spending it anyway. We can file for reimbursement from our insurance for about $960 of it.

3) Will be getting short term disability papers soon. So some income even in the dry spell

4) "Siul a ruhn" is out. The Last Gay Christmas Werewolf Story. Here's hoping.

5) Managed to get through the initial edits of "8 Days Ablaze." Will do a second pass tomorrow.

6) Crocheted on Ms. J's blankie.

7) Mountain Dew Revolution= the Revolt. But I like supernova.

Friday, I took Bunny and Fairy out for dinner. Dragon China, their choice. And then we went to the Galleria. They got t-shirts from the Disney store. Bunny's has Dory from Finding Nemo on it. Fairy's had Tigger. We got some earrings at Claires. I couldn't find a Lost Desert Aisha plushie to add to my hat anywhere.

Saturday, after work, we watched Teen Angst Specials (they were Afterschool Specials when I was a kid). One hosted by Samuel L. Jackson about Middle School. I had Obi watch it with Bunny and me. They covered Bullying, Depression, Drugs, Sex and Sexual Orientation. Bunny got a great comeback to use against some of the girls who are giving her grief. (For every incident she tells me of, I know there are a dozen more she doesn't.) Obi was kind of freaking out. He's only 10, but some of those kids were barely 12. The quote I find most interesting, "Oral sex has nothing to do with me, or my body." I also told Bunny there was a GLBT youth center in Memphis, and she said she'd like to visit.

Then we watched Thirteen. I suspect there will be many talks in weeks to come as we process.

I practiced drawing. Luke came out fine until I hit his face. He's got a weird face. Good-looking, but hard to draw. His upper lip is very long without looking like it, and his ANH nose is odd, and it only gets worse.

I ran out of claret yarn. I'm crocheting a Celtic spiral afghan for MWC. It's coming nicely, I'm about 1/3 of the way done. I also have the Scissor-Keeper mostly stitched in black and red.

Mudd went out for pop very late. And I wondered why it was taking him 45 minutes. He got stuck. Between the shelves, reaching for the last carton of pop. He has a bruise across his chest from it.

Can anyone point me to full screen, digital source for SW? My vids all look like I'm channelling El Greco through a pixelation filter.

So the kids are packed off to Vacation Bible School at first Baptist.
( Gratuitous Ray Stevens Interlude )
Need to find out when Cavalry Baptist and the Methodist church are running theirs. It's free, fun for them, and gives Dollface some one-on-one Daddy time. (he took her to Rhodes College today)

I forgot my lunch. Bummer. I have change enough for a small bag of chips.

Had some inspiration today. For some reason, I want to write the closure to The Mud Dwarf's "A Corellian in Hell."
This is good. I haven't been inspired to write for some time.

And I have most of my Christmas exchange squares done. That's a GOOD thing. The Fisherman's Ring pattern looks better in the Victorian with a claret colored inner ring and dark sage outer on aran, but not bad in the Traditional (cherry red and paddy green on white).
The Pinwheel Star looks fabulous in both.

Must finish basic exchange squares and the cross-stitch squares for Friday mailing.

Stupid Quote of the Day. From the Yorkshire Post: Dr. Smith is associated with societies for the prohibition of cruel sports, recorder playing and Welsh folksongs.

Four new squares are up on the
Star Wars Afghan Page.

If you get a "Not available at this time," wait 5 minutes and try later.
Those pics take some bandwidth.

So i did it.

5 girls, and me.
We tie-dyed t-shirts. Very Groovy, Baby! They really did come out nicely.

We macramed key-rings. They sorta got it.

Crochet? What a nightmare. Maybe next time.

Embroidery? They all got the outline stitch. We'll pick up Monday and get the others. Then they can stitch their birth flowers.

I'm not insane, I'm not hoarse, and i didn't manage to tie anyone's hair into their macrame. Therefore the evening was an unqualified success.
