Linkages and Stuff

Man, it is just ONE OF THOSE DAYS where I wish I had more time. I mean, it's 4pm 5pm already!

Today it was made official that I am the writer for the supplemental materials portion of the game package (before I was just writing stuff and hoping it'd make it in) but it is really super for sure going in. Now I have a technical manual and curriculum materials under my publishing belt! Whoo!

Also gotten done:

Costuming

+ I have started the Paine shawl thing. I have the over layer all sewn and I'm waiting on more pyramid studs for the under layer. I have to say, the studs look way more badass than if I'd cut out little metal squares (like a lot of Paine cosplayers do). Also need to figure out what I'm going to do for the weird pin thing she uses to keep that shawl thing on. Dear Nomura: wtf I don't even have words for the thingies on your costumes anymore. Oh and the pleather I picked up was thin enough to sew through without having to switch to Effy. Awesome.

+ I'll be taking pics soon. And by soon I mean probably next week.

FFEX

+ Still writing the story. XD

+ Did the in-depth beta work though! I really hope I was thorough enough, I've never beta-ed for someone I don't know.

And now links!

+ On the Search for a Feminist Pop Star or how Miley Cyrus may be growing up, but is still selling something.

+ PORTAL FOR FREE You know, for those of you that don't already own this awesome game already like me. I love free games.

+ xkcd and the tricky associations of sex and gender when doing the color poll. Also the color poll was awesome.

+ Amazing classrooms that I wish I had when in school.

+ When I grow up I want to be eccentric.

+ Devils on Horseback or a food that Britain has clearly been hiding from me!
