altivoSo yesterday I assisted while the judge went over all the entries in the spinning portion of the gallery show. I'm pretty sure she gave me a nice handful of ribbons, but I'll find out for sure tomorrow when the weavers meet in the gallery for their monthly gathering, a preview of the show, and probably a brief presentation by the judge (at least, they had that last year.)
And... *nibbles hoof* a fashion show. Remember that study group I was in last winter? The one where we designed a garment from the threads up, wove the fabric and sewed the garment? Well, we're doing a fashion show to present our results and I have to model the shirt I made. Now I'm not that clumsy, I'm not worried that I'll trip and fall into the seated crowd or anything like that. I just feel really self-conscious about doing this, even though I'm quite pleased with the shirt itself. I wrote the description for the announcer, I've been shown twice just what we have to do, and I'm still nervous about it. There may be a very large crowd of visitors, even though we didn't particularly publicize the event (which is likely to take all of ten minutes.) Most of the folks in both guilds are friends. I know them pretty well, very well in some cases. I'd trust them with money or possessions or even embarrassing secrets. So why am I worried about walking 50 feet and doing two turns in front of them? I dunno, but I am.
The BOINC/SETI/WCG/Einstein stats are now in my user info for those who are curious, so I'll not mention them here any more unless something really interesting happens (like the overwork burns up a CPU or something.) It does generate heat. With an Alpha and a Pentium 4 running continuously at 90% of capacity rather than idling, my smallish home study is quite warm. Should be good for the winter at least.
