Bead question, and randomness
Jun. 21st, 2007 08:40 pmI have a question for those of you who bead:
What's the best way to restring a simple bead necklace so that it stays strung? I have a string of rather heavy agate beads; I think my mother did them last, with three strands of fine nylon line, and it held for a number of years, but it's coming undone now. I have access to the usual chain craft stores if necessary -- not that I particularly want to be trekking over there in the midsummer heat.
The next installment of Voyage DVDs arrived. Corny as it is, I'm fond of quite a number of the S3 episodes. The first one, Monster from the Inferno, is not one of my favorites ( spoilers ), but it's good to see the guys again. I just have to remember that I have three quarters of an original novel to write by the end of the year, and not get sidetracked into fanfic again.
I was so hot and tired by the time I got home on Sunday that I forgot about it until just now, but I saw a couple of young bunnies, all big ears and big shiny black eyes, on my way home that afternoon, playing in the grass in front of one of the buildings on the west end of the campus.
The high temperature on campus today was nearly 106F, which is the hottest it's been yet this year. I don't know if that's why the apartment seems to have briefly lost power at some point during the day; I had to reset the clocks on the coffee maker and microwave when I came in.
