I am not a seamstress.

But I have to make Hannah's Sacagawea costume for her school play, so we're going to do it the old-fashioned way: trial and error, lay her out on the fabric and draw around her body, and hand-stitch because I don't even own a sewing machine. Not even one of those cheap little hemmers, although I'm really tempted to race over to Bed Bath & Beyond and pick one of them up today.

At least I already have the fabric. *beam* One thing I did in advance.

The play is Thursday night at 6:30; cedricsmistress and carlythemeek are going to join us for the occasion. Then on Friday it's someone elses's vision of Prisoner of Azkaban day. I feel so left out. Lots of people have already seen it, but this is a Spoiler-Free Zone. Keep that in mind. The only reviews I've read were sff_corgi's ('cause she's my OTG) and Newsweek's, because it was sitting there on the counter.

I like how gracefully I flowed The Incredible Westward Movement (as performed by 3rd- and 4th-graders) into Prisoner of Azkaban.

It's almost hellcatjelybean's birthday... wonder what her alter-egos are going to do for her?

There was yet another cat outside my door this morning. All black. Took off like a bat out of hell when I came to the door to let the boys out, though. I love you, stray kitty, but stay away. Please. Hemingway was right: one cat leads to another.

Is it possible to have too many cats?

Just wondering ...

Yeah. You reach critical mass and then the house starts to smell and you step in hairballs every time you move. That's when you know you have too many.

That does remind me! I saw your pen name on SQ. :) Another chapter, another day. Not that that is in any way interesting, but what the hell. You were the one who so graciously pointed out to me when I was out on SQ last time. :)

Ohhh, that's Narcissa Malfoy, my polar opposite Sirius-hater. My penname there is Lady Narcissa, but I haven't submitted anything lately.

Thanks for looking out for me.

*slaps forhead in complete embarrassment* I'm really sorry! I think I've talked to her as well. As a matter of fact, I'm almost certain I have. *ponders* My apologies though. Hope I didn't offend you. :\ I knew when I looked at her newest chapter to the story that it didn't quite feel right as I was quite sure you were a Sirius ficcer. But I didn't pursue the matter. I merely just assumed I'd gotten fanfics mixed up, when clearly I'd gotten fic writers mixed up. *shakes head*

Well, we're prepared to be perfectly cooperative if she decides to sit down and do some writing...

Go on, Hex. Do something divine for the lady. She deserves it. At least write her a fourth letter.

On second thought, maybe that should be Maeve's job.

I wish I could, and get her something nice to boot, but it's so frustrating not being Really Real!
