How evil am I?
I saw this on Patrick Swenson’s blog. He’s a mere 14% evil. You Are 22% Evil A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil. How Evil Are You?

A movement test
I met with the seamstress today and she’s confident that making the jacket will be easy. We talked about the need for the pockets to be gigantic to allow the bear’s paws inside. I’ll drop the bear’s body off with her on Saturday so she can make the pattern for the jacket. Here’s a video

Day in a nutshell
I went to work and worked on the bear. From 10:30-12:00, I went to my last Icelandic class. I have a certificate now to prove that I’ve taken the course, because you can’t tell by talking to me. Went back to work. Bought new glue gun and finished skinning the head–er, that means that I

Oops
I keep saying that I’m going home on Friday, and that’s true but what I should have been saying is that I arrive at home on Friday. I’m supposed to leave Iceland on Thursday. Oops. I need those 24 hours, a lot. So, I’ve changed my plane tickets. I’m leaving Iceland on Monday and will
Short
It turns out that the reason I lost power yesterday was because the glue gun spontaneously developed a short. I blew power again today when I started installing the jaw. I’m off to buy a new one now. Grr. Edited to add: Hurrah! The company runner is going to pick up a new glue gun

My story has been given a nice notice in this review. HorrorScope: Review: APEX Volume 1: Issue #6 Another surprising thing happened when I came to ‘Cerbo en Vitra ujo’ by Mary Robinette Kowal. What started out as an almost light-hearted piece that could’ve been ‘romance in space’ suddenly dovetailed into dark regions I know

Pelvis and legs
By the time the runner got back with the glue gun, I was already far enough into the legs of the bear that I didn’t want to stop. In a minor miracle, the pattern that I was adapting for the legs and pelvis of the bear was remarkably easy to work with. I usually have
Curses, foiled again
For unknown reasons, all of the electrical outlets in the workshop stopped working. I need my power tools. Argh. I did what hand work I could, but had to wrap up around four o’clock because I just ran out of things I could do.

Oh my goodness. The costume designers two-year old daughter is in the next room singing “You are a Pirate” in Icelandic. Soooooooo cute. Oh my. I shall faint from the cuteness of it. You can listen to the original and imagine a tiny, tiny little girl in a flowery skirt singing “Yo, ho fiddle dee,

CocktailDB: The Internet Cocktail Database
While searching for a perfect pirate beverage for World Fantasy, I stumbled upon CocktailDB, which is a beautifully laid out website. Rob and I have lots and lots of liquers in our cabinet from when all the puppeteers left the country. Everyone cleaned out their cabinets and dropped the supplies off with us. So, tonight

Arms, beautiful arms
I started by finished stitching the gusset into the remaining arm and then inserted the boning. I pinned the arms on so I could check the range of movement with them both there. I’m pleased. My movement was absolutely unencumbered and the torso is very light. I’ve been entertaining the notion of swapping the ribs
