So today wasn't very exciting but productive
Good things:
+ Had breakfast with family
+ Walked around outside and around town a bit
+ Finally figured out why one of![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
drakonlily's OCs is named "Araby" and on a related note have decided that Dubliners is a great book thus far.
+ Had a very tasty cookie with my lunch and might have gotten hit on by a cute barista girl.
+ Have finally figured out Yahoo Pipes so now I can tame my RSS feeds. Actually, I just like playing with things. XD
+ Behold the next step of the costume. I need to fit that thing, as it's a recovered piece from this hideous shirt. This will require me to see if the two sewing machines in the house are actually functional and getting over my slight fear of them (I've sewn everything by hand up to this point). Looking at various sites and getting advice as far as going about it. I'm going to practice on some other things before attempting to work on that waist cincher.
+ Got the backlog of links forff_fanlisting taken care of.
+ Started making some BSG icons. Because it's about frakking time.
Bad things:
+ Tragedy nearly struck as some Trojan buried itself in a component of my text editor. Which meant I had to uninstall and reinstall once I'd purged the computer of it. Considering I nearly depend on that text editor, this was annoying.
+ MORE RAIN IS COMING. Since my workplace's building is still, ah, drying from the last flooding this is somewhat worrisome. Then again, can't be as bad as poor Iowa.
+ Nobody is home tonight! I may be making phone calls.

I'm not sure how to fix them if they're out of whack, though, but I wish you luck. I can't believe you've been sewing everything by hand. That's incredible! ...I hate hand-sewing. If you do have any sewing machine questions, I'd love to try to help you out, though I don't know how much help I'd actually be, seeing as ours, though old, has been kept in pretty consistent use, except for the couple of times we've taken it in to different places and had it fixed.
