Cough, cough ... cue Puccini ...

[blamebrampton]

Still manky, which is to be expected, but I was very sensible and spent the weekend in bed or inside save for a few short walks in the warm part of the day, and well rugged up. Back to work tomorrow, which will not be fun, but they have craft specials going off to the printer and someone who knows something about craft should look at them before they go.

However, nice things have come out of the blue! My dearest artist friend is studying set design at NIDA and needed to borrow a spinning wheel for her assessment. I supplied mine, with a few bits of dressing, and she is off to commit acts of great art. "But!" she said down the phone, "I am not just calling in a borrowing state of mind! I have a gift! From a set!"

And so she showed up tonight with a treasure from the Farscape film she worked on the other year: a genuine Scorpius mask. You can imagine how much this made me giggle.  The lights on the side still work and all. I will have to make him a head to go inside for the full freaky effect. I have the best friends ...

TAKE PICTURES! I have a friend who'd be OMG JEALOUS

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I will, but I want to get it a head first. The latex is a little battered, but it is deeply cool! (And J has been told he's not allowed to wear it around the house.)

[deensey.livejournal.com]

Can I wear it around your house?

It sounds as if you are coming out the other side of the plague, then. Yay for the human powers of healing!

One question for the craft impaired though -- by spinning wheel, d'you mean like Rumpelstiltskin? Did I know this about you? You really are the person to know! You are truly amazing in so many ways.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Funnily enough, it's a Rumpelstiltskin set she's dressing ...

And yes, I can start with a sheep and end up with clothing. I am SET for the post-nuclear age!

[jadzialove.livejournal.com]

I have led such a sheltered life. I've spent the better part of my life thinking that clothes come from the store, with little thought to how they came to be there.
It's absolutely fascinating to me.

Boo, work. But YAY mask! So it's a kinky bit of explicit AS/S latex porn from you next, Y/Y? :D

I am so NOT writing farscape/potter crossover. Because that would be Very Wrong.

[pingrid.livejournal.com]

No no, it's perfect! Al can be all "funny, my ex boyfriend had the same name as you. That'll save me from any embarrassment if I call out his name instead of yours during sex."

i'm so sorry you're still feeling like crap. i wish i could get you a new body or something. :/

♥

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Thanks, dear. This one will come good, it's my own fault for letting J sleep in our bed while full of plague. If I'd been smart I'd have booted him out!

[abusing-sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Sorry you're still feeling sickly!

*sends hugs and cookies*

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Cheers, ears. It will go away in a week or two. Bleagh.

[beatnikspinster.livejournal.com]

Ahhhhh!!!! Scorpius! Now, you have a Halloween costume. PleasePleasePlease take pictures! I adore Farscape. Trying very hard to stay sane for new webisodes. :)

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

They have webisodes? *IS EXCITED*

I'll make him a head and take some shots then. It is very cool!

[bryoneybrynn.livejournal.com]

I don't know which amuses me more - the gift of the mask (kinky/creepy, btw) or the fact that you are going to make a head for it. I wouldn't even know how to go about making a head. lol

I'm sorry you're not feeling great yet. I hope you make it through your workday okay.

The plague continues over here as well. Ben had a barf fest last night - haven't had one in a while actually, and it brought back some fond, if gross, memories - and we were off to the drop-in today and again tomorrow if the fever doesn't abate. Poor monkey. We're both tired and grumpy today.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You start with a skull ...

Made it through six hours. Felt pretty shabby, but made it home with even a task or two done on the way.

Poor old Ben, at least I'm not throwing up. J is, sadly. Sends you some healing thoughts!

[snottygrrl.livejournal.com]

you have the most interesting life. it may consist of too much lurgy (this is most likely because you do so many things your body has to just break down every now and then to get a little rest- there are obviously other tactics, but this method seems to be working for you [*smirks*]), but even then it remains more lively than most.

am glad yuo are feeling a touch better. [*pets*]

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

You may have something in your theory of sleep need ... but after the amount I've had lately, surely I should be set for the next while!

[grey-hunter.livejournal.com]

You wear it! (And make a pic. And then you'd probably need to disinfect it.. XD)

Btw, I always wanted to ask: why do you have a dog as your default user pic?

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

I am a great lover of the Small Dogs of Medieval Art, and this is a lovely one.

[spark-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

I laughed so hard at the Scorpius mask gift! So hard XD Yay for such amazing friends!

:has been doing comfort-pancakes all day and sends you a bunch: Doctor certified! :nods: Great for your health. :winks:

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Yay indeed! And thank you for the pancakes! They make a pleasant change from poached eggs and whatever vegies I can cook without having to stand up for more than five minutes ;-)

[cinnatart.livejournal.com]

that is like, so unbelievably cool.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

It IS! I will be making a head for him when I come back from Italy. Though it is a wee bit smelly ...
