The sun sets on my day off

Today is my first day off since rehearsals started! Whew.

Of course, I'm spending it sewing. Is it not written that there shall be no peace unto the wicked? And dragons don't just make themselves, you know. I currently have four hoop steel "ribs", each 200cm in circumference; a 5m length of spiral steel for a "spine", and 5m of white muslin. I also have some materials for a head, but today I'm going to focus on getting the body done.

So, in lieu of actual content, some linklove:
Over at Linguaphiles, there's a charming post comparing the traditional names of the months in different languages.

At panniers, doc__holliday has posted some photos of a gown made by Rose Bertin for Marie Antoinette.

xkcd on Scrabble. I get this all the time. Do you?
