The soundtrack of the weekend: songs from Katamari Damacy. I think it's all that Japanese peppiness that increased my productivity.
Work goes apace on my hardbacked book. Yesterday I printed the signatures, folded them, sewed them to linen tapes, and glued the edges of the first and second, and last and second-to-last signatures (they tend to gape a bit, otherwise). Next stop: attaching the mull (that thick piece of bookcloth that covers the sewing and help attach the textblock to the cover-boards and spine-board. I've got some really nice glossy black bookcloth to cover the boards and a very snazzy black-and-gold checked end paper. Yay!
My parents come into town today. I have not seen them since May of 2004. Hopefully, I will be able to see quite a bit of them in the next week. I have also been attempting to set up dinner between them and Mark's parents (they've never met -- the clash of titans!). It is . . . scary.
