Dear brain: things that are unhelpful: this thing. The one where I have to start a new involved (that is, taking much time and effort) project with new (that is, not already present in my apartment) materials, if I want to do this other related thing.

*mutters balefully*

Also I can't seem to find an owl chainmaille pattern for the life of me. I know patterns exist because I see people on Etsy selling cute little chainmaille owls. But I can't find the patterns, just the results. Except the place that sells kits, but I don't want to spend $5 on the pattern, either.

I did find an owl cross-stitch pattern, and that I did spend money on (it is an owl in a graduation cap sitting on a pile of books!), but it's rather larger than I thought it was going to be. I'm having enough fun getting the cross-stitch ornament done before Christmas, and that's maybe a ninth the size.

I have no idea what I did with the pattern for the crochet owl I previously made. I mean, there's always wee owl amigurumi, but amigurumi are a New and I don't want to a New. Don't ask me why chainmaille is not a New when a crochet technique is a New. I don't know.

ETA: you know, simple chainmaille necklace. :)

I am informed I forgot to include my citations in my women's studies final. Did the professor read a document that was not mine?

...if I lost points for not including a Works Cited page that the instructions did not say was required...

ETA: yes, apparently I was supposed to intuit that the Works Cited page was necessary. "I hear your frustration but". ARGH.
