Dreamlife, knitting, and a class

[thrihyrne]

Last night I dreamed that I was on stage doing a short scene with… Tilda Swinton. :::massive swoon::: And what happened? I completely forgot every one of my lines and our scene was entirely improved. She was very gracious about it. I was mortified.

I have an updated picture of my skirt in progress, below



There's a new yarn store opening in the downtown, and it just so happens that they're having an open house today from 5:00-8:00. You'd better believe I'm going, not just to see what they're selling, but also to offer myself up as a potential employee! Why not? I've been knitting for eighteen years, taught some people, and I could teach classes if they want, on a commission basis or whatever. Even if I helped out 8 hours or so a week, that would be so very cool. I'll keep you posted.

Lastly, as a preparation for applying to grad school to get an MLIS, but one program is a dual MLIS/MA in computer science, I thought about auditing a beginning level computer science class at JMU. I'd thought I could audit for free since I'm a part-time employee, but it turns out that you have to be full time. As part-time, I can choose to pay for the class and then audit it. Um, no. But the professor, who just happens to be a friend of my mom and stepdad's, has let my mom know he'd be happy for me to sit in and he'll pretend that I'm not there. :D So I'm going to take a beginning algorithm course, the first time I've been back in a conventional classroom since spring of 1992. Also eighteen years ago. Egads. Actually, no, that's not true. I had the privilege of sitting in on three of eldritchhobbit's courses in 2004 and 2005. I'll keep you posted on this new endeavor as well!

Happy weekend to you all! ♥

I know, right? Tilda?! Up close and personal, and she was so generous when I totally fucked up. :P

I don't often dream about celebrities, but this one was fabulous.

And love back to you, and your classroom, and the beginning of school. ♥

OMG Tilda Swinton <3! I hope you get the yarn shop job, it seems like they'd be fools to turn you down.

I KNOW! Tilda!!! ♥ ♥ ♥

I went by there and I may get to teach a class on Christmas stockings; I'm going to go and hang out tomorrow for 'Chicks with Sticks' and see what befalls. :)

Good heavens, has it been that long? *mind boggles* Have an excellent time, my dear!

Your skirt is fantastic.

Yes, hard to believe, isn't it?! Thanks much! Glad you like the skirt. I'm enjoying it, as well as how quickly it's coming along.
