When I mentioned Alice the other day, I was talking about this Alice.




Sort of a blend of ideas for the costume we made for Peggy for FC a couple years ago with um... Those little tree-dweller thingies in Princess Mononoke. She's a weird thing, Alice. People's comments on her so far have been 'I don't know what it is but I like it."

I suppose that's the best comment possible. :)

Bicycling stuff

So... Today is bike to work day. My bike needs a tune up, and I didn't want to wade through the people doing their once-a-year show of enviromentalism so I left my bike with Stacey to be taken to the shop for some work and skateboarded to work. Oof. It's a lot faster than walking, marginally faster than taking the bus, much slower than bicycling, and hell on my leg muscles since I haven't skated in a while. Ohwell. Kinda fun to do something different.
