The Clockwork Heart event on Friday night was all sorts of fun. Everyone looked great dressed up in their steampunk finery. I was able to catch up with a couple of friends I don't get to see very often, and discovered a new band to listen to. (Toy-Box Trio. They're quirky and charming; it's a well-known fact that playing vaguely circus-y music with a toy piano will always get my attention.)

Saturday involved going to the MAC store to play with makeup. (NO, I did not purchase anything from the new Hello Kitty line. None of the colors really grabbed me.) Saturday night was spent eating chocolate cake, trying out a new recipe for lemon drops, and watching episodes of Dr. Who. (We've now finally seen "Blink", and wow, was that a good and creepy episode.) (Yes, we are very behind in watching Dr. Who.)

Sunday was wheeee, baby shower! Which meant seeing people and nibbly food, things I am in favor of.

Today I unpacked my new office. Put more of my postcards and pictures up on the walls, arranged the books, the tea collection, the tea pot, and set up the monsters' tea party, all of which are necessary for the office to feel like MY office. Tonight is going to involve flopping on the couch and writing up a bunch of email I owe to people. And maybe starting on a jacket alteration project, I don't know. Oh, and deciding what the next GCS column is about, mustn't forget that part!

Yay for wheeeee things (pun intended). ;)

Also, reminder: boots. (I actually found them, but not at the price you mentioned. It's still not a bad price, though.)

I am convinced that the defining characteristic of a steampunk club is that it has "Clockwork" in the name.

I *love* Blink. It is the only episode I've ever downloaded so I can watch it again.

Isn't Blink awesome? I squee a little every time I remember that the guy who wrote that will be taking over as head writer for Doctor Who in 2010.

It sounds lovely! (And do you have a picture anywhere of the monsters having a tea party?)

I just wanted to drop a link to Mistress Matisse's latest podcast: http://mistressmatisse.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=434218

because she is talking about FASHION. And while her preferred style is not the same as yours, I think that in underlying principles, you and she agree. I'd love to hear what you think!

I would just love to see pics of your office decor. It's sounds fabulous!
