Hello fellow Steam-enthusiasts!

I posted about a week ago with pictures of my hair facinators and I've been meaning to set up an Etsy shop, Well I've got most of it figured it out with the exception of a name!

I've thought about it and the only thing I can come up with is "Fascinating Chronos".

What I'm looking for is feedback, thoughts and suggestions.

Thank you.

From Sev:

Reply to this post with the degree you'd award me based on my participation in fandom.

For example:

"Dr. Sev has been awarded a Ph.D in AU Crack, with a concentration in blowjobs."

or

"Sev carries dual Masters degrees in Twincest and Pirating."



Go ahead, and then post in your journal so that I can award you a degree.

~*~

Both serious and crackalicious degrees welcome!

This band is a WONDERFUL example of that as well as just some of the best new music I have heard in a long time.

While waiting on printer drivers to install:

Me: Do you use teeth whiteners?
Her: No. I just use a pre-brushing rinse.
Me: A what?
Her: It's made by Listerine. It's not Listerine, though. That's bad for you. It dries out your gums.
Me: Well you could always pop in a Burt's Bees Gum Balm.

I am in Williamsburg! We drove for about 3 and a half hours this morning to get here. My parents dropped me a block from my lecture place and I actually got here 15 minutes early, YAY. Met up with my class with no problems, and we had 3 hours of lectures in the basement of one of the historic buildings, then a brief walking tour. Then it was dark. I missed the last shuttle back to my hotel so my mom said she'd come pick me up (we're just a few minutes away). As I was waiting, wandering a little ways up the street and back, just ambling about looking for shit to snap pictures of... I suddenly got practically barreled over by a battalion of redcoats with drums and flutes and torches leading a mass of tourists with small children like the Pied Pipers of Williamsburg.




I fucking love this place.

I don't know if home decorating falls under the category of fashion, but I thought I'd share a picture of my latest project.



I made this lamp to be part of the footboard I am building for my son's bed. The footboard was supposed to be the big gift for his birthday this Sunday, but the lamp is the only thing that will be finished on time. The weather and the building renovation going on all around us have interfered with my woodworking abilities.

Here's a link to how I made the lamp, if anyone is interested:

After a lot of work I've finally finished my own set of falls!

Link to journal with pics! ---> ryu-tigre.livejournal.com/5117.html

Please feel free to tell me what you think! : )
 
 
Okay so I couldn't really make that work. BUT, I thought this was cool...




Click on zee pic to read the whole story on LA Weekly. Basically, this guy made a Christmas Tree out of Tesla Coils. That pretty much rocks my holiday spirits, because admittedly, I'm not "feeling it". Anyone else?

Might be too much work and no time to enjoy a hot cup of cocoa or shop for family gifts.

Have a great weekend all!

Hi, I'm new and such. :)

I'd really like to subscribe to an astronomy/space exploration magazine, but I'm not sure which one I should choose. I'm leaning toward Sky & Telescope but I'm also considering Astronomy magazine. Can anyone make any personal recommendations?

Thanks!

cincher

My favorite cincher ever! This is my Edwardian, Gibson girl style corset that I got as a birthday gift a few years ago. It's held up incredibly well and I have worn it a lot both under things and over them. Get your own to wear under your holiday frocks or give as a gift:

Only $150 and worth every penny.

I HAD NOT REALIZED IT, but according to the INTERNET:

MR. DICK CAVETT and I have more in common than merely my audioback book.

WITNESS:

THAT IS ALL.

 
 

Um, excuse me? I don’t mean to disturb you, but if you wouldn’t mind just scootching over for a moment…? I just ate at Panda Express and I have Duck Sauce all over me. Hello?

No worries, I’ll just grab some toilet paper…

Via Shakesville, the Third Eagle of the Apocalypse informs us all that using contraceptives makes us horrible dirty whores, undeserving of God's love )

Note: I am mocking this guy's extreme logic fail, not his religion. I realize there are people who read my LJ/DW who may and probably do disagree with me regarding contraception and religion, and that's fine. I'm basically just amazed at logic fail.
