Things people made for me

So, I got gloves in the mail from j_s_cavalcante today! I love the color so much (which she predicted I would), and they're also very soft and warm. So much joy! Thank you, JS. *hugs* I'll wear them tomorrow in my cold office.



Some time ago cybel made a cover for the podbook of my story Civilization:



Isn't it beautiful? When I saw it, you could probably hear me squee all the way to the US. Sled dogs get to me every time, and I also love how it looks like something inbetween a photograph and a painting. I love the font she used, too. Basically, I could look at that cover all day.

Also, today I got an email from the senior scientist who runs the Arctic research station where I worked last summer. He'd just sent in a grant proposal, and offered me a month's fieldwork up there this summer if I wanted it (assuming they get the grant, of course). YES I WANT IT. It'd be pretty much all botanical inventories, which I love. Plus, helicopter flying, because some of the inventories are up on peaks. Now I just need to convince the head of the math department to give me a month's leave. Which won't be popular for various boring financial reasons, but I'll go down on my knees and beg (uh, at least metaphorically) if I have to.

Very cool on all counts, Luz. I hope the trip works out for you.

I hope so, too! I'm trying to work up my courage to go and ask for leave.

That cover is wonderful. It's like a 40's era magazine advertisement. Love, love, love it! And your gloves are gorgeous; I'm wearing mine even as we speak. Take THAT, evil blower!

Huh, I didn't think of that, but maybe you're right!

Mmm, gloves, yes. I'm wearing mine too right now.

Yay for gloves! JS picked such a beautiful colour. And those gloves really are the BEST THING EVAH! So warm! I'm wearing my pair right now.

And that is a beautiful cover indeed. cybel really is brilliant, isn't she?

Good luck with the getting-time-off thing!

JS let me pick the color, and I'm so happy with it.

I keep putting off talking to my boss. Arrgh, I should do it today. Um, or maybe tomorrow.

JS is so cool, and those are beautiful gloves. *crosses fingers for arctic research*

JS rocks. And thanks for the finger-crossing! I might need it.

Aww, you guys. Jeez, you're making me blush.

Luz, I'm so glad you like the gloves. Pretty hands!

Stay warm. :) And good luck with the work!

I went to a small party at a friend's place recently, and I had several people compliment me on the gloves! Just wanted to say. : )
