I read a lot of books, but then I go through these lists and realise how many I haven't read... I need to get reading! Taken from writebrained 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read 3) Und...

Sewing Project: Hawaiian empire

nobody@vox.com(mystico_tala) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:48:53 -0500

I thought I needed a reminder about why I don't buy, or even look at, babydoll/empire waisted clothing. Most of the time, they just make a person look pregnant. I'm no different. The biggest problem was that the gathers at the waist seam didn...

nobody@vox.com(mystico_tala) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:09:39 -0500

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (or Never Say Goodbye) Okay, this movie needed a post on its own. This was another movie that I waited for a while before I watched it because it got such good reviews and I wanted to save it to really appreciate it. I wa...

Book Review: Reading Lolita in Tehran

nobody@vox.com(mystico_tala) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:24:09 -0500

Reading Lolita in Tehran Azar Nafisi I'm probably one of the last people to read this book, but I just have to comment that I really enjoyed it. Iran is so villainized by the west (well, America at least) that you rarely here about the actual p...

QotD: I'm Not Telling

What question do you hate being asked? It's either 'Do you have a job yet?' from my father. If I hear it one more time my head may explode. Or, after someone finds out that I just graduated with a PoliSci degree, 'So, what do you wan...

Bollywood Review

I pulled a muscle in my back today, so I decided to watch a movie since I couldn't move. Veer-Zaara I've watched a couple movies since my last post, but haven't really been floored enough to post about them. This movie, however, was fantasti...

Long Skirt

Nothing terribly exciting. I finished this about a week ago. I haven't got around to hemming it....and I may not. That fabric is a pain to hem. I may just zigzag a bit around the bottom....Maybe make it a teeny bit shorter also... But, other t...

I've had this fabric, already sewn into quilt squares for, no joke, over 10 years. From a sewing class I took eons ago when we first moved to Texas. Anyway. It was meant to be a quilt, obviously, but who the hell would use that? So, I took som...
