daylight savings dress

Like virtually every other shirt or dress I’ve ever owned, it wants to slide off my shoulders. I’d blame my utter lack of sewing skills, but they’ve picked up more than their share of blame for this project. My shoulders just point down and entropy, like gravity, goes along for the ride.

I finished all principal sewing on my Halloween costume tonight. In fact, I am wearing it, breathless and giggling, as I write these words; I am giving my body a few minutes to relearn how to sit properly in a dress of this type.Scratch ‘relearn.’ I’ve never worn anything remotely like this.

Welcome to All Hallow's Eve

My halloween costume: I am dressed as a serial killer. Just remember—serial killers look like everyone else.

Brad’s costumed today—check out his cam.

Good news—I just found out today that I got a big design project. I’ll be redesigning the site for a mall down in Birmingham. I’m pleased—it appears that they’re going to give me full design freedom on the site. That’s rare, and it’s a pleasure when it happens. It’s nice to be trusted. Might even be worth posting screenshots for!Other news…

Word for the day: synesthesia. A random memory dredged up from studying psychology in college. (Yes, Brad, I know that to you it’s probably ‘synaesthesia.’)
