From beyond the cooling fan!
...er, sorry for dropping off the face of the planet without warning, everyone. Not pissed at anyone or anything, but just needed to get away and alone for a tad bit.
News in short form!
1. Have a new computer - not an Apple, but a lovely little (figuratively speaking) Acer, since they cleaned their act up in terms of reliability. 15.4" screen, DVD burner (YAY!), and 120GB hard drive make for a happier Jate.
2. No art until further notice because I am upgrading my Photoshop stuff and the campus store had to order the damned stuff for me, so...no scanning or anything else until some time next week.
3. Mostly well, although I am dreadfully afraid that when my drugs from the doctor finally run out, I am going to relapse, since I am still mildly symptomatic (acute bronchitis is a bitch, for me) and vaguely off. Last dose of antibiotic tonight and it'll be out of my system in a few days after that, so if I get sick again... ~irked at lack of health~
4. We lost power last night. We had it back in about two hours, but still - the power! I wasn't missing it nearly as much as the rest of the family, since I had prepared to curl up with a flashlight lantern, a book, and some paper. I was foiled, I tell you - foiled!
5. Some would say I've gone nuts, since I am plotting to sew very shortly. If the costume comes out like I hope it will, there might be pictures of it on the tailor's dummy. I'll also be spending some of my time this winter doing some leather crafting - bracers, gauntlets, a few thigh holsters for vials, and possibly some pouches. If they go well, there will be pictures.
I promise to climb out of my antisocial hole soon. In the meantime, I can usually be gotten a hold of via cell phone, when I don't forget to have my cell with me. >< I didn't mean to miss calls, honest.

RE:1. *loves her Lucius* And yes, I named my computer after a Death Eater. *grins* I can't help it - I've slipped wonderfully Slytherin again. *innocent hum*

I'm planning to sew costumes based on my original clothing designs - the first one is actually based on a design I made and then one of my friends, Artema, refined. With luck, and determination, the costumes will be ready for some Otakon, where she will come to me and we will parade around the con making people wish they were as awesomely dressed as we will be.
As for the leather crafting, yep! I'm trying to finish up a pair of decorative gauntlets I started trying to do a few years ago but never was able to finish due to issues with not having a hammer. (I have a hammer now - I can now punch holes in the leather! -jig-) Once I get the gauntlets finished, I'm going to purloin the digital camera to take pictures of them and maybe even a 'model' shot of me wearing one of them.
