Hubbyfink packed the Prius in about 30 minutes. Smoothest packing evar. And then we found ourselves with two hours to kill before the finale of Torchwood: Children of Earth. Hubbyfink channeled his inner assassin with "Assassin's Creed" while I escaped to the craftroom and restrung two strings of beads to wear with my Norse drag, put the finishing touches on my Italian hairdo, assembled new temple braids for my c14 vestments, and sewed salmon and pink linen together to make a third pair of reversible gamurra sleeves.

I did all that because I was feeling lazy. My alternative for burning off nervous energy would have been pulling out my Pennsic wardrobe and ironing everything.

Yeah. I'm happy with the "lazy" route.

Oh, and Torchwood? No comment; still processing.

Oh, and and? I'm on vacation. =)

I realized that my gamurra sleeves are just a skosh too short to pin to the dresses. A quick eyelet at the top of each sleeve and a lacing ring on each shoulder strap of every dress fixed that little problem.

I tried making a full cuffia (coif) last night but having too few brain cycles left provided me with a less than satisfactory result. I have jettisoned making any of these until next month at the earliest.

I have also jettisoned finishing the pink gamurra from the project list. Maaaaaybe I'll take it to Pennsic and do the handwork in camp. Maybe.

I have figured out which hat I will wear to the Mad Hatter Tea Party. Muahahaha!

I'm two days in to "Torchwood: Children of Earth". I didn't read under anyone's lj-cuts about the mini-series, but I couldn't help but notice all the emotional posts in plain view at the end of the series. Speculation which contains a spoiler for Day 2. )

In other TV news, I've got the DVR set for "Being Human" (vampires AND werewolves? It makes both Hubbyfink and me happy [we're both ehh about the ghost]) and "Doctor Who: Planet of the Dead". We should be home from Land Grab in time to watch DW, but I'm taking no chances. I can catch up on "True Blood" via OnDemand so I don't have to give up precious DVR space for that show.

Oh hey, "Coraline" and "Robot Chicken: Star Wars Special Episode Two" are out on DVD. I might have to snag those and "Children of Earth" when the latter is released next week.
