1: for the many who may not already know this, both my parenst are episcopalian. after some erm, hum, hassles with the episcopal church (cue mel's disillusionment with organized religion, exhibits ### through ###), the diocese has finally granted my mom permission (yes. permission.) to worship with an actual parish again. all that harrumphing said and put aside, the priest of their new parish has a blog, ayia iluvatar, in which he proceeds to be a geek of the highest order. HEE! (also, his most recent posting, about the "personal ordinariates" shenanigans, continues to make my brain tired despite the excellent job he does of breaking it down into little words. what the balls, church?) (also, look at his last.fm!)
2: i had an awesome lunch today and then spent the rest of the afternoon working on my halloween costume, AIRSHIP PIRATE! (on zombie double-header kickball game night i'm adding zombie makeup to turn it into UNDEAD AIRSHIP PIRATE QUEEN!) i still have some handstitching to finish on the skirt, and i need to find a handful of different leggings/tights/thingummies that i can tear into and layer appropriately so i will not freeze my tush off on game night, but here is a terribly low-quality photo of the costume, mostly finished.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'M PRETTY EXCITED FOR THIS HALLOWEEN.
