eff.

Fuck you, low-pressure weather systems. FUCK. YOU.
You are not making my Friday any less shitty.

But this is. A lil' bit. Happy Premiere Day, The Watchmen movie. Please don't let Hollywood screw with Laurie's character too much.

Iko Iko

Taught my 2A girls the refrain from Sugar Boy Crawford's recording of "Jock-A-Mo" today in class. It was pretty much the highlight of my Fat Tuesday, since there is neither sassafras nor andouille sausage to be found in J-land, thus no way to make proper gumbo, and it was too rainy to have an impromptu parade with the Mardi Gras masks that we made :c

Today was mostly an I-don't-want-to-be-around-people day. Of course, an hour from now, I'm going to teach at the community center and get home just before 10. These phenomena seem to coincide a lot.

Be that as it may, here is something which makes me feel not-grumpy and less like a useless lump: Anteater stuffie pattern at last!

Note: my firstborn arikui (Japanese for anteater) son's vestments look a little wonky because I hand-stitched them rather than using a solid piece of felt.

ALSO note: the tail is a mite bit tricky to reverse on account a' it's long 'n skinny. If you ttly rawk at edge-to-edge sewing I'd recommend that instead. Even if you don't, try it out!
