It appears to be Summer Week in England.

Tonight: dyeing redcountess' hair red again. arkady and I really need to get back over to the Albatross again to pack more stuff, but if we try right now we'll melt.

Friday: Rebleaching my hair, for B-Movie: The Navy vs. the Night Monsters! For which people will keep to theme by swimming in an ocean of their own sweat. Liz predicts it will be way too hot to go near the place and Arkady will likely be saving her energy for Antilight, so I might be there all alone with my camera (probably the Ixus 50 again this time, though I might bring the Ixus i as well just to show people).

Saturday: I will be hitting Slimes early to see Swarf, who are on at 9pm (Trauma Pet 8pm, Manuskript 10pm), and liz_lowlife will hopefully be able to sort a photo pass in time. Arkady is likely to be at Antilight before me so she can be sure of getting in free before 11pm.

Sunday: Indeterminate plans to visit my parents, who are visiting my mother's sister in Southampton. Last-second tickets are expensive, though.

This Ixus i is so ridiculously cute and small. The current version, the i Zoom, is larger, but I'd love to get my hands on one and see how it does compared to my Ixus 50. It also comes with a belt-clip camera case which would go marvellously on my leather waist clincher, so I'll put the Ixus 50 in it tomorrow night. Liz used it to take the worst photo of me ever. I look like some sort of middle-aged postpunk:

Arkady downloaded her Thinkpad T23's service manual last night and finally replaced the hard drive. The original 30 gig drive from her Thinkpad A30 worked fine in it, so we're now assuming that the T23 suffered a bad disk, but the A30 actually has a dodgy disk controller. She has installed Dodgy Duck and is now a very happy little geek girl indeed:

gothic_violin is visiting and she and Arkady have been instrument-geeking with snatches of violin for the past two hours.

My new bed is too wonderful for words. I must get a job telecommuting so that I never have to leave it, ever. Once I could hardly believe that people could spend almost a thousand pounds on a bed; I now urge each and every one of you to spend that much as soon as it is feasible for you to do so. OH MY GOD. And I thought I loved my bed when I was a student bum. Liz: "And now your love is sanctioned by the Pope!"

Liz on the phone to her mother, about the invasion of Iraq: "It's a Good-Old-Boys' war."

Oh, if you see Traumapet, go up to their lead singer Eleanor and tell them Kitsune from Oz says hi :)

This weekend: bad picadilly and morthern lines. Planned engineering work.

I think that's a great photo of you, and that one of Arkady too. And the one with the bed was a good Liz photo too. House of peektures.

I am just a geeniousss, you know. *clickety-click* And we're all gorgeous, of course.

[reddragdiva]

And I do think the photo of Arkady is insanely cute!

You look pretty good to me in that photo, though I can certainly understand it not suiting your mental image of yourself. One of $fiance's favorite photos of me is one I cannot stand. He thinks it looks wonderful, I think it makes me look like a tired old woman (no, I haven't got a copy of it).

[reddragdiva]

I like that it's got character, or I wouldn't have put it up!

[gothgeekgirl.livejournal.com]

Heh. Indeed. You're the one who called it the worst photo of you ever, though. Me, I see the friend who gleefully dragged me all over the Whitby convention center in 2003, introducing me to almost_everyone.

I'm doing B Movie so see you (all) there..

"And now your love is sanctioned by the Pope!"

This is the bed the Pope uses for his poly relationships? ;)

[reddragdiva]

How dare you suggest such a thing! It's the one she uses for the one she's actually married to ...

I like your smile in that photograph.
I don't like the way your cheek behind your nose is not distinct enough from your nose, so it takes a second look to see that your nose is not weirdly curved and out of proportion.

[reddragdiva]

Dunno. I think I'd be better in that photo if I did actually have a beaky nose.

I do like the photo or I wouldn't have put it up :-)
