State of the Neko address: week 66, part 3

song+ Penny & Me- Hanson- Underneath
book+ Pathfinder core rulebook
quest+ getting my easel set up
upper+ the first Pathfinder game went well
downer+ i still have no paint brushes
attire+ green satin pajamas. oh yeah.
drink+ watermelon Arizona juice cocktail


so this week has been pretty interesting overall. Friday night Kyu tattooed me again, but i don't have a picture of it yet since it's on my back and still healing. i realize i still owe pictures of the dresses i've sewn for Althea and Azle, and of the paintings i did Thursday with Moose too, but my camera is acting up. hopefully i can get it to cooperate soon since i'm very pleased with it all. i'm also pleased with the tattoo, it's a crescent moon and six tiny stars all done in negative space by shading around them. they're falling down my spine from just under where the neckline of a tee shirt hits, and the whole thing is a little under 3 inches long (i think? i can't exactly measure it myself). i do try to choose places for my tattoos that can be relatively easily covered if i need to enter a working environment.

i think today will be spent working on the cloak and cape patterns for the awesome twins. if i get the patterns done today i can probably finish the capes tomorrow. once the patterns are finished i may work on my Pathfinder character model. i've bought her and done some nice work on converting a HUGE scythe to one more appropriate for her TINY height. now i just need to pin the scythe parts to her fist, and her arm back onto her body. it kinda fell off. xD once she's reassembled though i can get to working on painting her up.. also her Panther (Fluffy) and Fox (Renaud) companions. i looked up actual reference pictures for their coloring today so they look right and not like generic blobs of color.

i still need to finish reading the rulebook, but since we actually started playing yesterday i have a better understanding of what i need to know personally for a smoother gaming experience. i think i'll also re-read the Druid and Gnome pages in particular to see if there's a special way i can take my character to make her really useful to the party. the skills i started out focusing on are shared by Krista's Half-Elf Ranger, so i think i'll let her focus on those and i'll diversify a little to use the skills everyone else overlooked. xD like Knowledge:Nature and Knowledge:Geography, and because Druids can only wear naturally occurring (non-metallic) material Craft:Armor for myself. next time we kill a dragon i'm gonna use that skill to skin it and get myself a dragon-skull helmet and dragon hide cloak out of the thing since i can never equip any of the treasures we find. xD

Reading this must be what it is like for your sisters to read the doll portions of my blog and yours and Middlest's. Or for y'all to read the knitting-techie parts of mine. Word word word word capes!!! word word arm kinda fell off word word dragon-skull helmet word and armor word word (which is where my Ren-festing memories kick in). All that being said, I'm glad that you're having fun.
