amezriGot an e-mail back from Nicole and my frock coat is finished and is being shipped tomorrow! HOORAY!
productive day. Had dim sum at Emperor's. Came home and vacuumed once my mom's friend left because, omg, does her dog shed something fierce and normally it doesn't bug me, but lately it's been making my skin crawl. Thankfully, mom bought a snazzy new vacuum yesterday - a Bissell Healthy Home. Works great. Tested it yesterday and got a canister of sand out of the carpet. I was sort of scared. Anyway, after I cleaned the living room I basically went around the house and vacuumed everywhere, finally finishing up in my room. Ugh. Two hours and two canisters of dirt later, my room is clean! Mostly. I just have some things that need to be put away still, but my carpet has finally been vacuumed properly after... far too many years to mention. Uhm. Not that I never cleaned my carpet -- I just always used one of those rubber brush things and it seemed to get out a lot of stuff too, but clearly not everything.
Somehow in there I also started new art work. I think it's coming along rather well and I hope to have it finished in time for the start of con season. Got some early feedback on it and both people said it was okay, but the upper right corner is still bugging me. Hm.
Torchwood season 1 comes out on DVD this week! So my pre-order should be in soon. Also? New episodes start on BBC America this Saturday. I've not read any spoilers from the UK yet, so.. .you know, surprises.
