This Weekend Open Thread is Filled with Glitter

I think yesterday was my most active day of the week. Although I usually count Mondays as start of the week. Shush, don’t tell anyone.
Ah, is anyone else watching the Australian Open?
I hadn’t watched a single game this year until I happened to wake up at 430am, so I’ve caught Sharapova’s match, and now watching Djokovic v Hewitt.
Wow, hello Persephone! Life got pretty crazy at the end of last year and over the holidays, but I found my way back here and look at this! Wheeeeeee bells and whistles! What are these points I’m reading about down below? I had all these emails about friending people. I has a confused. Is there a post/thread/link somewhere that explains all this? WHAT IS A UNICORN?!
This post has all the dirty details. : )
Thank you!! Off to educate myself.
Who boy. Got lots done today. Even with a 3 hour Skyrim sesh (I just cannot quit. It’s not even that fun anymore!). But I just did a bunch of grad school application stuff and it took way too long. And now I’m freaking out a bit. Because there’s still so much to do (Damn you Skyrim!)! Anybody else have an overwhelming Sunday night list? Like, writing a bazillion words, and I have to do a bunch of reading for a workshop tomorrow and laundry and a paper due two days ago and a head cold and… Â Â oh god oh god. I should go buy some chocolate to soothe my nerves. I’m like Mrs. Bennett right now. Anybody got any good tips for soothing these frayed nerves?
Also, anybody else super into Skyrim? It’s my first go at gaming, and well, I love it. And I especially love that I’m better at it than my boyfriend. Is that lame?
Marry off a couple of your daughters to well heeled suitors?
Well at least that made me laugh out loud!
I just had a busy weekend andthere’s stuff that I COULD work on but don’t need to (the Christmas tree has to come down at some point….) and it is unbelievable to me that tomorrow is already Monday. Where did my weekend go?
Pft, you’re already a champion. I saw that fancy dress you made! But Monday, already! What the hell?
Yep. I got ya. Research proposal I should have sent out to a prof on Friday, read roughly 60 pages in one book (plus endless pages in like four other books), read two articles that I told my lab advisor I’d have read/reviewed last week so we could talk about them, and all manner of data analysis that I didn’t do ALL of last week. Plus I’ve been away from work/the lab for ten days because of an injury, so there is absolutely NOOO excuse in the world for me not having done it all except that napping and NetFlix and a heating pad are a dangerous combination.
Ooh, heating pad. Might have to get on that. Seriously, that was my initial take from your post. Way to go brain. But anyway, we can commiserate, so good luck on all the (eventual) doing!
I am all for the chocolate. (Usually tea as well, but we’re pretty sure I’ve been on enough of a tea habit that I gained a tic in my left eyelid.) So, go for the cocoa and let no one bar your path!
Soooo here is the dress that I made! (In the pic, you can’t see, but there is a slit in the front almost to my knee, and a bitchin’ kick-pleat-gathered train in the back.)
You also can’t see the detailed diamond that I made on the front… will need to get actual good pictures of it at some point.
Wow! You are so talented!
Thanks! It was a ton of fun to make :)
Lovely!
Thanks!
HAWT
Thanks! Yeah, I think I might need to find more excuses to wear dresses cut like this.
Hubba hubba! That’s awesome.
Thanks :)
