It’s just a matter of scale…

The kittens are growing quickly but there’s still quite a size difference. Tasha is also the smaller of the two kittens so she looks extra-dainty next to Monster Cat. The girls are getting more bold as well. They slept on the bed with us for a while last night. Okay, they slept on the bed with Tennyson last night and we just happened to be there too. Details. Tasha did nap on my desk by herself for part of the afternoon, so at least my piles of paper rate in the kitten world.
The Known World Pointing Things event (Rapier and Costuming classes) is next weekend! I have coordinated the merchants, wrangled most of the final details with the hotel, and built the mostly-final draft of the event booklet. I have lists and things appear to be under control, at least in my tiny corner of the event, which is, in fact, quite tiny.
If you are coming to KWAR/KWCS, there will be an A&S Exibit!
A&S Exhibit: Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the 2nd Floor Terrace. You are welcome to stay by your work or drop and run. This will be a costuming- and rapier-focused exhibit. Please come display your garb, armor, weapons, acccessories, etc. It is suggested that you have either 3×5 index cards or preprinted sheets for your documentation, as there will be a limited amount of cards available. (Rain location: outside Rosemont)
Okay, back to the geeking…
I love Pages. My 8 year old copy of MS Word just wasn’t cutting it for booklet layout so I went out and bought iWork (which I’d been planning to do eventually anyway). It’s like magic. I used an older version of Pages a few years ago but didn’t really take to it. I’m happy to announce that the application is easy and intuitive to use. I was able to layout the booklet quickly and easily. It was straight-forward to make changes to the formatting. I was able to place text and images the way I thought I should. Just a giddy experience of tools working really, really well.
Yes, I’m a bit of a giddy geek about this.
This weekend included kittens (cuteness), Boondock Saints (sequel coming soon!), Pandorum (interesting concept, forgettable movie), too little sleep (yawnness) and pies (yum!). Not bad at all.
