a little smoother

Did not go to pool as planned but considering I was in wicked screaming crying pain yesterday and the day before maybe just chilling is advised. Will go next week when I have five school days to work with instead of three.

Changed moodtheme on journal (hannahrorlove gave me a link to an ocean-themed one and I couldn't resist) and picked shiny new theme to go with. (I would love a version of this theme-base - Expressive, I like the tag cloud feature - with dolphins in the header, but alas, one does not exist and I do not have graphics-fu to make it work. No matter. I like fish. FEESH.

Still no cellphone. Boy is picking me up a new one today (apparently I have an upgrade token nao so at least it won't be ridiculously expensive.)

Dumb list of chores: sweep dining room/living room, pick up the clothes kid has dropped all over his damn floor

All my dragons hatched, yay, and eventually with repeated clicking they're supposed to grow up and mate and make more beebies. <3 I love the idea of virtual children and grandchildren. No diapers to change, no toys to pick up or fall over. Good times.



Now - food and boring necessary things.

nifty japan thing: the furoshiki

how to make your own furoshiki. (I really need a place to put my sewing machine. Until then I'll have to get one at daiso or just use a good sized scarf or something.)

Since there's going to be a plastic bag tax starting in January, it's just as practical here as it is in Japan.

From the Japanese minister of the environment, a pictorial guidehow to use furoshiki to wrap different objects. Also handy for gift wrapping.

This is supercute: the furoshiki purse tie
