:( Missing People Already / Sewing Bonanza

I went to Fairbanks for four days from Wednesday to Saturday. It was a great deal of fun. ^^ I got to see everybody, and was even dogpiled for hugs at the entrance to Nerland hall. The first night I was there, we got a game of Lupus in Tabula going. Interesting game, but one for which you need people of like mind to play -- and in quantity. Requires a minimum of nine players. I recommend it, though.

Getting to hang out with people made it really hit home that I won't get to see them for a year. :'( Saddening, but... Japan! ^^' Thank goodness for instant messenger and online board games. Thank goodness for the internet (which, coincidentally, is for porn).

Now that I am done with Robin Hobb's Farseer and Tawny Man books, I will have time to sit down and sew. I think I'm gonna try to get some audio books from the library to listen to while I sew. I'm gonna buy Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders series for the incredibly long flight to Japan. Preliminary looks at Yahoo! Travel indicate 16 hours between here and Japan. That should be enough time to get at least decently far in the Liveship books.

Back to the sewing, though, I have cloth for one more skirt and cloth for lots of rennaissance bodices. ^^ I think I'm gonna get cloth for at least one flannel skirt, too, but not until I finish these and the Jedi cloak.

I've only read the first book of the Liveship trilogy, but it's good. I'll have to check out the rest of Hobbs stuff.

She's a very good author.

To elaborate on that, now that I have read the Liveship Traders series and have time to elaborate, I love the characters she creates. They're very human, very real. I love that. ^^
