- On the way to the subway the strap on my fencing bag snapped. Luckily, I have a much better sense of how to navigate with the thing and way less embarrassment about dragging the huge thing on the subway. Also, I hate that bag and will be happy to get a new one soon.

- ipod! The world is different when you're stalking through it listening to creepy Nordic music.

- ipod! The idea that I was going to watch Torchwood's second season on the ipod on the subway to waste less time? Predicated on the idea that I can balance the inner and outer world, not laugh (or gasp) out loud and not miss my stop. Er, got 15 minutes into Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and discovered I was made of fail. Would you believe me if I also noted this episode has stellar pacing and timing? Also, what is going on with that Hussar jacket they've got Marsters in? Is it supposed to be entirely wrong? Finally, I bet that set is waaaaay too much fun.

- ipod! Playlists so far: Descensus, Torchwood, Mairome. You'd probably say "wtf?" to what's in all of them, but it's making my world work.

- Fencing tonight. Last fencing class before Sicily, in fact, although I am going to drop in on people on Friday to give my weapons to Michael.

- Too little sleep.

- Got assigned more articles on shoe construction. Hey. It pays for the glamorous lifestyle (*eye roll*)

Idle question...
Would a secondary bag be useful to you?

I have one that looks like this (but in grey and black, not red):

The odds of that surviving our gear is pretty debatable, which is one of the problems with the whole historical/classical thing. I think I'm going to have to give in and get a golf bag (which is the solution a lot of people use) or one from a guy in the community (I almost said 'scene'!) who has started a little side business.

re: scene
Heh!

And - okie dokie. :)

(Did you get the pattern I sent your way eons ago?)

Yes, god, thank you, and it's sitting on our dining room table in that "I have a plan, I really do" way that most of my costuming projects seem to suffer from.
