I Done Made Something

So, yeah.  I made a heatpack last night.

This was my second time ever on a sewing machine and the first time ever that I made something crafty without a teacher looking over my shoulder.  All in all it was simple.  Cut rectangles, put together, leave hole to put stuff in, close up hole.  And it’s far from perfect (I might need to do some patching up later), but I’m proud of it anyways.  I used brown rice for the filling (which smells just wonderful) and putting this thing in the microwave is just…wow.  Such wonderful warmth for these cold months!

And even better I still have a buttload of this nifty batman fabric!  Thinking of making some small lavender pouches and a few other things.  We’ll see!

Carol Of The Bat

I originally wrote this as part of a Geek Carol contest for GeekGirls and I liked it so much that I thought I would post it here!

Carol Of The Bat (in the tune of Carol Of The Bells)

Hark see the light,
Up in the night,
It seems to say
Bad guys will pay

Parents are dead
Fucked up my head
Now in the night
I go and fight

Zing! Voop! Sop! Zong!
That is the song
Of fist hitting face
In a dark place

One seems to hear
Shrieks of good cheer
Before he kills
If he so wills

Oh how he smiles
In me he riles
Thoughts of the dead
Must pound his head

Gaily he spits
Blood and some bits
Take him away
I deeply say:

I am, I am, I am, I am Batman
I am, I am, I am, I am Batman

On on they send
On without end
Sane and the mad
Good fights the bad…

Goodbye mom and…dad…
