Let's stand back and re-evaluate this
May. 16th, 2012 09:13 amThanks to everyone who weighed in on the software issue yesterday. I might have a reprieve, since a kind soul offered to put together a poster for me. If that pans out, it'll give me a chance to test out some different types of software later this summer before buying one.
Random link:Like we needed more proof that spot-training isn't as effective as compound, integrated movements.
In an effort to squeeze more time out of my day, I'm going to the 4:30 WODs during the summer since the office closes at 4:00. This means I beat feet home, change into workout clothes, and hightail it to CrossFit so as not to be late. The penalties for showing up late to a WOD are unpleasant.
Because I don't want to waste time washing off my makeup, I'll be coming to the office bare-faced on MWF for the summer. I haven't come to work with no makeup (I mean nothing, not even a dusting of powder) since...I don't know when. Since years ago? And man, under these lights I look like death warmed over. Well, not even that. I look like death half-warmed up in the microwave before you changed your mind and put him back in the fridge, then pulled him out after another two days and realized he'd gone moldy.
Last night I hit another wall with Sherlock. My final prototype of the coat fit me great when I was wearing just a button-down shirt. However, when I put on the suit jacket I'll be wearing under the coat for the Masquerade, the the back pulled horribly, and the armholes were a teensy bit snug. I adjusted the shoulder seam for a broader, more square shoulder, but now the armholes are way too tight (which I should have thought about, but I'm getting a little brain dead on this project). I don't know how to open up the armsyce and make sure that the sleeve still fits. It's already a close thing, with hardly any ease in the front of the sleeve at all. Making the curve of the armhole bigger is going to cause the sleeve not to fit. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to do this last fitting adjustment for my Sherlock coat? I'm having no luck with my own searches, and I feel like this is something I can't really fudge (like I did with the collar *ahem*). I'm about sick to tears of this project, and at this point wish I'd never seen the damn show.
