Random notes

Reminders:
Local DVD hire has seasons 2 and 3 of Farscape. How many seasons did they go up to? - yes I could google, but that would deprive someone of the oportunity to brighten my day with a bit of trivia :) Remember for the $1 weeklies on Thursdays.
Local DVD hire also has Mirrormask in their new releases - remember for the Tuesday $1.50 all movies.
They didn't have the final DVD of the season 1 West Wing set in today, but have gotten out the preceeding two. Also have Delovely and The Philidelphia Story - Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart - it doesn't go wrong.

That and trousers for now I think.

So, what (appart from Pride and Prejudice cause everyone uses that) do you use for sewing/working on projects to?
For me:
P&P
LOTR
Hornblower
Moulin Rouge
B5

And in what should possibly have been a lead up question: Do you need the distraction (TV and music mey be different issues) while doing the project (ie for me, I need to remember to look up often while sewing otherwise my neck will KILL me), or does it stop you from working on what you need to (slightly more like Z...)? Is it a gender thing or a concentration thing for which the examples I know happen to fall apart along those lines?

While I remember...

Having a go at writing up a sumary/article on the Festival 06 iron smelt - fingers crossed for Cockatrice (deadline 26 Feb to be in the Cockatrice that will be out for this Festival.)

Can people who helped as bellows slaves etc during that Mon, put up their hands so I can get a general idea of who was doing what and/or email names. I may also need email statements from people oking if I use photos with them in. Haven't sorted out which photos yet - but I will try and ping asap if that is needed.

Yes, you could argue this is a bit last minute but it was kinda promised and a couple page essay should be relatively easy in 4 days*, assuming I have the references handy and can get Z to clarify/straighten out/explain things properly**. Pity we didn't photocopy/get the reference for the archeological metallurgy book we got from ANU library - the one with the micrograph images of archeological bloom finds- it would really help if I could remember the title... or the author/editor...

*I have done longer essays in shorter time for Uni, but it was on subjects I knew a little better.
**And rewrite bits cause I think he has a better writing style than me. I tend to come out sounding like the worst journal article I have been reading recently, with kinda long waffly sentenses... Not pretty.
