Sewing with the Devil

So I realized that I haven't update my ever-so-witty blog of late. Well, there's a simple reason for that. There's not been much to be witty about. Work is work (and incredibly slow of late) life is life, and keeps chugging along.
Most exciting news I have is that I am attempting to be domesticated. I'm taking a sewing class on Saturday, and I'm getting to know my new sewing machine, now aptly named El Diablo.
See, me and El Diablo got into an argument last night over a spare part that I thought should be applicable to any of the other footy thing-a-ma-jigs. So after swearing at him for a few minutes, and frightening Wino with my psychotic rants and throwing the spare part onto the kitchen table, I finally gave up, and began to pack El Diablo into the new shiny (and now undeserved) case I had purchased. Upon clearing off the table, I happened across the instructions for said spare part, and sure enough, I was right!
El Diablo and I are now on friendly terms, I wouldn't say we're BFFs, but I am willing to pick up where I left off last night, and try to figure out how to sew a straight line before Saturday when I get to make a pair of lounge pants. I'm interested to see how these pants will fare once Saturday is over...
