Black Sabbath's Paranoid is a perfect heavy metal song - maybe not the ultimate, but just so satisfying.
I'm guardedly optimistic about the outcome of the elections. The Democrats are no angels, but I'll sleep better knowing the whole show is not controlled by one party. Bush was on the radio tallking about "victory in Iraq", which I thought was kind of innappropriate, like referring to "victory in lunch". I mean, there's still the possibility of success, but there's no more war - the insurgency is not going to end with a peace treaty!
So, I finally finished Kolfinna's shield! It's not everything I dreamed it could be, but I'm still pretty happy with it. I'll see what she thinks of it soon enough...
I love making things, especially functional ones like the shield. It's just so satisfying to take an idea, a bunch of tools and raw materials, and the skills I've acquired, and make something of them. When I'm in that groove of making, I am completely happy, except for the frustration when things don't work the way I believe they should!
Got a busy week coming up -
Saturday - Coronation in San Diego, party after?
Sunday - Queen's Champion Tourney, head home
Monday - Burbank practice after work
Tuesday - Head down to hotel in Long Beach after work
Wednesday - Work at the EHXpo (Long Beach), show at the Key Club in LA
Thursday & Friday - Work the rest of the show, work my job leads & contacts, head home
Saturday - Frost Dragon Touney in Ridgecrest
See? Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
