between benevolence and morality

[rhyll]

I started this morning in my office with an email from Tim, which always brightens my day. I enjoy his musings on life, science, dragon's hoards, papercraft, editing, and other bits and pieces that we play around with.

My work is still plodding. Getting there, but ever so slowly.

And I am reading The service of clouds, by Delia Falconer, which is not helping my growing obsession with photos. I've been looking at the linatree papercraft camera (which is an updated version of the Dirkon. In fact, it's been at the back of my mind for the last week or so. I'm trying to convince myself to find the couple of hours or so that it would take me to make this carefully and properly, perhaps with some modifications. Plus I am quite attached to the thought of decorating it myself, despite the rather attractive design on the linatree camera.

Hmm.

I saw Kyle last night, and his suggestion that I do something other than uni for a while makes sense when I look at the kind of things I'm obsessing about. But I don't think it's feasible, at least not for a while.

It was nice to see Kyle, and it's been a while. I got to do my big-sister thing, feeding people (Kale and Nate were also well-disposed to vegetable soup, pumpkin pie, bean salad and tzadziki) and bustling about the place. And Kyle told me about one of the art projects that he and Anna did, which sounded really cool - I continue to be astounded by the various ways in which he is excellent.

Plus, I finally managed to end my losing streak in Scrabble, which cheered me up some.

and now, to work!

I want you to find those elusive hours to make this papercraft camera thing. It is entirely selfish of me, because I want to see how it works. My brow is furrowed right now, because my tiny brain can't fathom the dark magics needed for taking pictures with paper.

But, will you have time for fun Friday night? I may be very much in the mood for learning how to drink soy chai some more, and may request your company at The Moon to supervise my soy chai study session.

Yes, that sounds nice. Any time in particular?

I figure about 7.30ish would be good?

That sounds nice. Might I suggest, depending on your other engagements and your projected mood for the evening, that you consider the following options:
a) dancing,
b) coming to my house, where I could give you not only soy chai but also dinner, and where we could perhaps both make pinhole cameras,
c) bringing some form of crafty delight to the moon with us,
d) none of the above.

Also: the rest of you are quite welcome to weigh in on this, i imagine. Unless you have kicked liz in the shins lately, I guess.

I am meeting someone for drinks in the afternoon, so I don't know when that sort of thing will be done with (I was going to hang out with him at the Hyde Park and at The Moon with him until he had to start work). Which is why I say 7.30 with a question mark. But I am down with any of those things after that.

Are you 'meeting someone for drinks' or OMG MEETING SOMEONE FOR DRINKS!!!!11!!!!'?

[alexmoon.livejournal.com]

I also would like that point clarified.

Okay. How about you come over when are done. And also any of you others who are listening and who are not total jorks. Hands up?
