For She's a Jolly Good...
Well, I finished another dress yesterday night and was planning on photographing it in today's fading light when I got the great news that I got a (highly sought-after, at least this year!) fellowship that will
1. allow me to move to Boston and not have to work
2. make my life all-around easier
3. give me the opportunity to write about machinima!
So fun! I was so excited that now the sun has pretty much set and I am still hanging around in wet socks and a droopy ponytail. Tomorrow for pictures, then. Also, Pan's Labyrinth, which I have been dying to see since Black Apple started talking about it. Maybe I will even wear my new dress! Even if I freeze!
I think I'll open a bottle of wine and celebrate!

Hurrah! Congrats and well done! Hope the wine was good, hurry up and show us the dress, and Pan's Labyrinth is great. Very dark, in every way, but great.

Thank you thank you! The wine was tasty, though I did not drink very much. I feel so dehydrated all the time. My mom keeps asking if I am pregnant. I mean *really* mom, my boyfriend is in BOSTON! You can only do so much on the internet...

Yay! Yay for you and J! and Yay for me that I will soon have a knitting partner in crime! Congratulations...moving half way across the country really isn't that terrible. I've done it twice with relatively little stress. Let me know if I can help!
