Blogorrhea!

My brain is running oddly today. Yesterday, too. So people who are waiting on questions from me re: my last post will probably have to keep waiting until I can get back on track.

Last night I had a dream in which I was defending the use of masks in classical greek theatre to someone who was insisting that masks did not exist until the Renaissance. Very frustrating, and no research material is available in dreams.

Failed to get a massage from starwyse, even though I had an appointment. Work went to hell in a bucket at about 3 p.m. and I got out of the office late, then sat in traffic forever and a day. Still made it to the Social Justice meeting, though.

Social Justice is working on sending care packages to pagan soldiers (so if you happen to be or have been a pagan soldier, I'd sort of appreciate hearing what you think would be good to send in such a package). Highlight of the meeting was iron_clad dropping by, and getting to watch him ride away on zerself's little scooter. That's a day's worth of funny, right there.

To do list:
RIGHT NOW THIS WEEK:
- Sort out what to wear to the event we're going to on Saturday. This may require getting triadruid and myself fitted for tuxes, assuming that one can rent a tux on Tuesday for an event on Saturday.
- Meet with agrnmn to plan a class on Brigid for a week from Sunday
- Research for said class

BEFORE DRAGONCON:
- Register for parade. Ask wildnsquirrelly and matchgirl42 if they want to be pirates in the parade again. Find out who the Brian to be named later is, and if he's likely to want to be a pirate.
- Get clothes back from archway so that I have something to wear in parade
- Have profound hope red bodice still fits. Failing that, learn to straight-lace
- Ask saffronhare about wrap pants pattern
- Find/make skirt pattern for Promethea costume (Like this?.
- Wonder idly where I put the fabric for the Promethea costume
- Buy stuff for costumes: I need a wig, a shit-ton of gold hoop earrings (most magnetic or spring-clip), fine gold chain, little gold foil stamped coins, fine gold wire, and some resin incense.
- Make stuff for costumes: Promethea skirt/top (may require a leotard/underthing), Promethea shoulder pin (sculpey and gold-leaf for the win), Athan Miere perfume-boxes, Athan Miere chain/coin jewelry, Athan Miere pants

I've certainly never been a soldier, but this website (http://www.give2thetroops.org/items.htm) might have a few good ideas for you.
