Monday, 16 August 2010 10:27 pmFigured out why my iTunes wasn't downloading new episodes of Grammar Girl - I don't listen to them in iTunes, so iTunes figured I wasn't listening to them at all and suspended my subscription |:< I set it back up and then downloaded the last, like, eighteen episodes I didn't have so now I have all the audio episodes available in iTunes.
Also, bought felt and pipe cleaners while out with the twins on Friday, so that I could make little heartless dolls. I bought black felt and white felt, and after spending a couple of days trying to put a doll together out of quilting squares and a poorly-scaled pattern, I scaled it properly and started making my white heartless doll. I think I'm about halfway through - I need to finish sewing the legs and feet, sew the legs to the feet, sew the antennae, and then I can start assembling it (stuffing, figuring placement of and placing the eyes and antennae, fitting in the pipe cleaners - in lieu of wire - and then sewing the pieces together). I don't really have anything I can use for eyes, so instead I'm going to embroider Heartless emblems on some scrap felt and then just glue them on... which is more inventive than what I'm doing for the normal shadow doll, which is colouring some scrap felt yellow with a Sharpie. n___n;
I am not bowling right now! This should be obvious, though I guess I could be posting from my cell phone. I should actually be bowling right now - or at least playing DDR - but, I am not. This is because a) I don't like bowling, b) I'd hate to bean eleventh a third an eleventh wheel, and c) I had a couple of mini-anxiety attacks a few hours before I needed to get ready to leave. I'm sure I would have eventually had fun if I had gone, but the full-blown anxiety attack I probably would have had before that (and probably at the bowling alley, since that's just how these things end up working for me) would have made a bad impression on Ruthie's boyfriend, and anyway, actively interacting with ten or eleven people at one time is a bit beyond my limited social skills.
There's a new show on AniMonday! I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it yet, because horror is not my preferred genre, but since the anime available to me right now is pretty limited, I have no reason to not give it a chance. Now, if only Syfy would pick up something good to replace Gundam 00... /:
