I overheard this from another table at dinner last night:

"What's a gigabyte?"
"Oh, that means if you printed it all out, it would equal 10,000 trees."

...NO.

Hello sailor!

I have completed the Batman skirt!



It turned out quite nicely! The fabric is pretty stiff, so the pleats are crisp and keep their shape. It's actually not finished, I need a snap closure for the top because putting a buttonhole in this thick fabric AIN'T HAPPENIN'.

I also finished a blackbird dress, which turned out to be ( a bit of a disappointment )

I have been listening to Guided By Voices a lot lately. It's kind of nice to listen to something that's, well, listenable.

Also, UGH I STILL DO NOT HAVE A LIVEJOURNAL LAYOUT. With all the fucking time I waste on the internet you'd think I would have found one by now.

I'm trying to do a project for every day this week, and this was the one I finished today. I wanted to do something non-Lolita, but I made a high waisted slightly above knee length full skirt...WHAT A DEVIATION!



God, I love this fabric so much. It was probably made for housewives in Maine to make tablecloths out of.

MOVEABLE TYPE IS THE WORST SHIT EVER. FUCKING USELESS.

Yeah, so I wrote a post for the Feministing community blog about the Lolita Jezebel article but since Moveable Type is a fuckshit, I GUESS I CAN'T POST IT. I am raging. Oh well, enjoy livejournal:

Finally finished it!

I went to the library yesterday. I checked out "Millennial Monsters: Japanese Toys and the Global Imagination", some sort of Drawn and Quarterly anthology, and a ridiculously long book about Pol Pot. What the hell? Why would I do such a thing?

I made this very housewifey dress that I'm never going to wear because I hate that length and there are a few other problems:



BUT THAT'S OKAY. Experience is the best teacher, blah blah blah.

Which reminds me, I need to work on my drawing skills if I ever want to actually get out of here. Motivation!
