ummm.... it's been awhile since an update...but see! I has no computers for internets in a place where it's not school, family home, w/e. (I am stealing internets from a mac store. heeeeee)

So, quick updates:

- Have you checked out lierdumoa's new Dean vid yet? GO ALREADY, her vid is the awesome...tho perhaps one should have eyedrops near by 'cause you probably won't blink for the next 3 min of vidwatching

- Got new glasses that I'm ridiculously pleased by!

- Got a sewing machine 'cause I'm sick of clothes not fitting me properly, classes upcoming and sewing classes in may.

- Editing classes going well, tho sometimes I'm all o.0; at being unable to beta people's work 'cause I'd break them.

- There is mcposse agreement that I should not not not sleep with my teachers. Really. (yeah I *know*! *winceywrygrin*)

- therapy is going well; I like my therapist and like the fact that I can sometimes make him "bzuh?" at me. (I have lack of shame in certain ways that surprises him. ....I have a suspicion that I like causing people mental hiccups, partially 'cause the world causes me mental hiccups. *ponder*)

- I think there's fiiiiiinally enough footage for PT's SPN vid. =P dang'd outro.

- ummm....what else...OH. Netflix is awesome. Tell me movies I should watch!

- OH! right! absolut3destiny's '15' vid is really fucking cool and it's totally in our queue and coming in a couple days. DUUUUDE, what a vid. ^____^

- and, cons are on hold for this next year as well. I'm down for meeting with small groups but still sorta weirdly agoraphobic so conventions are a no-go.

- mmm, and also in the market for a smallllll laptop once summer hits. Any advice/suggestions/headsup?

- lastly: dude, but I really really need to catch up on SGA, don't I? o.0

Very cool! I've been trying to get serious with my old vintage sewing machine, for the same reason -- can't get pants that remotely fit me these days. I haven't enrolled for a class yet, but I do need to look into it. In the meantime, Vogue Sewing from the library has already given me lots of "OH! that's how it's done!" moments, and I plan to order my own copy as soon as chapters.ca gets more stock in (I have giftcards, yay!)

Also looking very useful, if you do have any items that do already fit you which you'd like to reproduce, is Patterns from Finished Clothes by Tracy Doyle, which I also got from the library but haven't had time to try the techniques from yet.

ooooo, thank you for the recs! I'll be looking into it.

Oh, I got some advice from the ladies at the store: besure that your sewing machine can handle the weight of the cloths you're planning to use. 'cause like some fabrics will snag if the machine can't handle it. =)

I'll be attempting to make some kimono-like jackets, 'cause most jackets that keep me warm I find too bulky and the non-bulky ones are too thin ::tragic face:: I'll update lj on my progress. ^_^
