Crafts and Bikes

mizarchivistIt really was a perfect day to ride a bike, so I did- first the motory kind to/from craftiness and then pedal before dinner. The new motor-bike is definitely has a bit of a learning curve- the choke is not so easy-going, so I keep stalling out. It occurs to me I'm definitely going to have to get a handle on that (hah) before I try taking a passenger. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nchanter has graciously offered to help, being an experienced passenger. Maybe next month (which is actually only a few days away, but you know what I mean).
The crafting bit was hugely productive. I discovered my jewelry selection has been depleted over the past many months. It's less so by 4 1/2 necklaces and corresponding earrings now. Well, one set I have to keep. Pictures eventually- probably :) One of the more recent styles I've done has been short links of beads with eyelets on either side attached to chain parts. I'm sure there's better words for it than that, but I'm disinclined to figure it out at the mo'. Sadly, the copper/burgundy set I did requires chain that isn't standard gold/silver color, so more on that hopefully tomorrow after a store visit.
All and all I was quite satisfied with my day/evening until I realized how much Other Stuff is happening Right Now and I didn't attend. It's a good thing I realize that's just crazy-talk. You can't do everything all the time- when would you sleep? Besides, I had the pleasure of seeingquiet_elegance for several hours in a row. There was a bbq chicken experiment for dinner, and then he kept me company- watched Star Wars (the proper original with no edits, thankyouverymuch), and added Family Guy commentation at the appropriate moments. He's rarely inclined to watch TV with me, so that was note-worthy. And if that wasn't enough justification, I swear I'm busy all the time. There need to be lulls so one can enjoy the frenetic later. Ah well. Rational Brain has really fine arguments, as is only right. Unrational Brain is still a bit sad, which is just like her, so I guess all is status-quo.
