March is Bat Month! at the ROM. The new batcave opens this weekend.
I am half tempted to get dressed up at Batman and go down this weekend. Zil and I have memberships that let us bring in a guest each. The cape and cowl could use some maintenance anyway...
(Next week's post may involve discussion of bruises recieved battling the forces of evil. also known as the ROM's security...)

Monday night I went out and bought new shirts and pants (no, I never did find the missing pants).
This morning, after being up cooking until midnight, I was shuffling around the kitchen getting my cereal, and bent down to pick something up.
*RRRRRRRIP*
I panic, and start grabbing myself trying to find the tear. Then, I realise; my boxers have just split in half. The pants are safe.
At least it happened while I was still at home.
In other news, the cafeteria's latte bar makes a mean gingerbread chai latte, though I don't really think the word "chai" has any meaning left in this context.

It will be here sooooon.... and I won't have a chance to really play with it until some time next week.

Caffinated brain still whirring away on random topics. Right now, it is designing clothes for Kaledioscope and general weirdness wear.
I really need to get a small, durable sketchbook for my backpack kit.
- A hooded robe made of sarong-weight black fabric. Slit on the sides to waist level with waist-ties to fit, like Thai fisherman's pants. Ideally, it's have some sort of tie or fastener at the wrist, too. With the ties, it should work as both a sun shield and a lightweight bug screen, while the light material should allow sweat to be wicked away.
- Black polar fleece hakama, for cold nights at bardic.
- Arm-warmers, either wool or black polar fleece, with decorative touches on the back of the hand and along the length.
- A jacket of some kind of warm material (though maybe not *more* black polar fleece) with pleats along the length of the sleeves, with a sort of cape-let of sheer pleated dark material along the back, most likely with a hood.
- Wrap pants with nifty cuffs of some kind (i.e., find some nifty fabric to put on the bottom, or silk-screen something myself)
- Utility belt of doom; instead of carry a man-purse or using my kilt pockets on a normal belt, I am imagining a heavy belt (probably fabric, at least the first try) with alternating snap-on pouches and loops that carabiners and the like can clip onto. Good for any time I'm wearing a garment with no pockets, espcially for things like kscope where I want to keep a flashlight and bug repellant with me at all times.

The caffeine has kicked in and my brain is racing.
And not thinking about work of course - that would be madness!
My thought is this; have TV writers started deliberately putting in slashy tension between male characters, is it a side-effect of the popular TV writing style these days, or has it always been there, and it is just that geeks have become aware of/started imaginging everywhere in our post-irony age of meta-content?

I will be going to the FASS late show tomorrow night. There has been talk of the Tribe arriving dressed as pirates. I will have with me tomorrow both a pirate outfit, and a ninja outfit. I haven't decided which to wear. I will likely not have net access during the day tomorrow, so if you'd like to influence my decision either way, drop me an SMS - if you haven't got my number, LJ friends can text me through my LJ info.
