So I took this little quiz, and here were my results:
You're just the woman (or man?!) Boromir ever
wanted. GO YOU! (But watch out that you'll
never get in my way! :})
Are you the perfect mate for Boromir (LOTR)? (not finished)

I'm in hell. I'm trying to finish a aper on nursing implications on care of the heroin user, and it's like my brain is constipated. I know what i need to say, but it's just not coming out.
Such has been my semester. Like I said. I'm in hell. Just wanted to touch base for all the people who read this. Although I don't think anyone reads it. It's a nice thought though.
See you after December 18th

http://www.jesus21.com I haven't looked into it enought to comment, but it looks quite refreshing from here.
Watched Jesus Christ Superstar this weekend. Bought a Thomas Merton book. Spoke with a patient who was a born again multisubstance addict, with Schizo affect. Nice guy. Tough life. God love him.

I know it's been a while. School has started. I finished my dress--well, it's functional. Went to another SCA event, learned how to operate a ballista. glad to be back in school. More later.

Bought the underdress material today. Blue velveteen, cotton. I bid and won an auction for a lot of 12 fur collars which I will use for trim on the surcote. The collars are mink, fox, coyote, rabbit, and something else I can't remember. Recycled and old but real. I have stayed true to my word of not using synthetic materials. But then there's the cotton issue. Cotton production is polluting. And I think my thread is cotton coated polyester. One can never win.
This week I started on the shift, which I'm sloppily making out of off white cotton muslin that I used to use for a turban for the Italian Ren dress, but it was so heavy (all 5 yards of it) it gave me a migraine the one day I wore it. But it looked really good. Now I use a smaller one that wraps just as nicely. It's a good thing I'll be using this dress as an undergarment. It's a good thing to practice with, too. I'm learning from my mistakes. It's pretty fun, but it doesn't compare to knitting. I don't think anything really does, though. Cross stitch was fun, but I really need magnifying glasses to do it. I could use a pair for using the sewing machine, too, that's for sure. I might make a little trip to CVS tomorrow...
So the overdress will lace up the back, so it will have a snugger fit. The surcoat will defineitely have a train. Now I have to think of headgear. A simple circlet and a white or blue silk sheer veil is what I have in mind. A cord or braided belt. Maybe a leather one.
