I kind of want to just stick a tube or a turkey baster up my nose to just occasionally suck everything out. The left side of my nose wants to fucking explode, and the right side is bleeding.

Michele Carragher, the head embroider on Game of Thrones, made this awesome tutorial to show how she created the dragonscale fabric that appears on several of Daenarys’ costumes in S3 and S4.
Ms. Carragher says that the dragonscale fabric was created because “In season 3 the Costume Designer Michele Clapton wanted a Dragonscale like textured embroidery that starts to emerge on three of Daenery’s costumes, which becomes heavier and more pronounced, growing and evolving as the season progresses” (Carragher).
In stages 9-11 of the tutorial we see how the textile evolves from lightly to heavily embellished. This progression is meant to illustrate Daenarys’ personal growth and the growth of her dragons (source).
WOW!
Don’t care about Game of Thrones but that shit is cool
I didn’t learn about sewing as much as I learned that, no matter what she currently gets, Ms Carragher isn’t paid enough.
Fuck
This is amazing and breathtaking.

My head feels so weird. On the left side, like it’s trying to cave in on itself. On the right, like it’s trying to explode.
It’s heavy as hell either way, but man, this is weird feeling, wanting to squish one side and let the other side… air out? Shit is wacky.

(time for me to go pass out >< I’m getting to old to do allnighters anymore)

cosmictuesdays replied to your post:I am not going to work today either. I did not…
It’s much better, yes. Better to take a couple of days to yourself now than push on and get even sicker with a longer recovery time. I hope this passes soon.
That was my feeling as well. The friend I’m staying with is a workoholic and she has essentially kept herself sick for like three weeks by forcing herself to go in. Granted, she’s got some other shit going on that I don’t, like allergies and a deviated septum, but she kept making herself go to work the second she felt even a little functional.
I told her to stay home and do nothing one day and she said she’d done that. I got back later to hear that she’d gone into work for an hour after she started to feel better. She’s had to take more days off than I think she would have initially if she’d just done nothing like I suggested.
I am not going to work today either. I did not sleep well last night because I was either too cold or I would occasionally not be breathing because of shit leaking from my face, and now I’ve woken up too hot, super clammy, and coughing. The cold air in here last night stung when I breathed, it was horrible. I feel like I could theoretically do work today, but it would be labored and difficult and I would get snot on everything.
Surely it’s better to take care of myself when I’m not 100% than force myself and have my recovery take longer, right?
I always feel so guilty taking off work, but I’ve been thinking frequently lately about a quote I saw go around tumblr about the strongest essence of single-person-ness being that you are never anyone’s first/main priority. So I’ve been trying lately to be my own first priority, since no one else is going to do it.
And I think that means taking some meds, long shower, drinking OJ, (buying some fucking tissues), and seeing if I can’t sleep.
