ironymaiden | the colors, man.

there is an unholy symphony of animal noises outside my window. i believe there was an actual cat/dog combo going on. cats and dogs, living together - mass hysteria!

truly the end is nigh.

i've had my fill of estrogen this weekend, with two days of Northwest Quiltfest. alas, i had no camera to capture Make It Sew, the entry in the Telling Secrets themed display that revealed that Captain Jean-Luc Picard retires to the ready room after a hard day of negotiating with Klingons...and quilts. it was a great likeness, and his communicator button was beaded.
how much estrogen was there? eventually they brought in some porta-johns for the men and assigned all the restrooms in Exhibition Hall to the ladies. i think today T and me were the youngest people there without our mommies. i have the materials to make a gift for mom, fat quarters from Africa with adrinka symbols, celtic knot buttons (one of which is already adorning a hair tie for C), a koi print, a bag full of silk tie scraps, and tons of ideas.

last night was free outdoor Two Towers at Seattle Center. the crowd was joyfully enthusiastic, and if i didn't have work way too early tomorrow, i'd be there now at Return of the King, joining in a rousing chorus of "i am no man!"
