My last day of work on this contract, so one last Shallow Fashion Details photo from the Bldg. 17 ladies' restroom:

Tomorrow, sleeping in! And finally going to see Avatar, since we were thwarted in our previous attempts.

Not AS original as I might wish, but hey - at least I riffed on a classic.

Mother and I braved the snow tonight to try out another of the new Japanese food joints. Kobe - sushi and hibachi.

No question, it was the best hibachi I've ever eaten. I didn't get sushi this time, so can't comment on that, but, absolutely, two thumbs up. Even worth the ride across town in mother's car with the broken heater.

No dessert, because we're heading home to try out another recipe in my new chocolate cake doctor book. So, all around, a day of tasty food.

Let it snow.

I love it. ... Duncan has taken a ghost story about geocaching and codebreaking and made it his own just by telling it in his own unique voice. ... Suffice to say that it's perfect for a cold Winter's night. It's certainly a story that will stay with me for a good long while.

Today is the next-to-last-day of my current work contract. On the one hand, looming unemployment and job-hunting, ugh. On the other hand, time to work on the novel I started writing on New Year's Day, time to finish clearing out the Storage Heap Room o' Doom, and time to make stuff to sell at Mourning Market and my eventually-to-be-launched Etsy store. So, mostly yay, I think.

My Dad, because he is a helper and an enabler, made the brilliant suggestion that I need to find an oversized bird cage to keep my doll in. Like this, or this, or this! (yes yes, clicky-links to eBay.) My friends who have long listened to me talk about my need for decorative cages to keep decorative people in understand why this suggestion is so appealing to me.

Speaking of my Evangeline Ghastly doll, I realized that I'm not entirely decided on her name. I thought it was Lucretia, but then the Stroppy One suggested Pandora. But neither of those seemed to stick, which I think means I haven't found her name yet. Vexing, very vexing.

Awwww! Jake von Slatt over at Steampunk Workshop wrote a very nice review and article about the Gothic Charm School book! (clicky-link!)

And finally, here, have a SFD photo (EDIT: bah, I don't like my expression or how I was tilting my head in this picture, but it shows the details of the outfit):
