Champagne and Origami

My second round of revisions has arrived and I must step out of the room. I don't know if I'll be gone days or weeks. I may drop in and out unexpectedly.

Please entertain yourself with either (or both) of the following. I'm told that these feats take several days to master.


Task #1: Open a champagne bottle with a sword.



Task #2: Take a square of paper, as below...



and make this:

Alternatively, you may simply sit in your chairs and stare out the window. That often leads to writing, which leads to revising, in which case, I'm happy thrilled excited for you

I'm sorry...it's happening...I must go now...

  4. Good luck with those revisions! And I'm keeping that sword idea in mind. See, I'm in drafting stage now, but revision stage will come, and my hubby is a ninja. Complete with swords, so I'll have him do this when things look dire. ;)

    I'm mostly kidding but partly not, which is the saddest part of all of this!

  7. Yay revisions!

    I like champagne, but opening the bottle completely intimidates me as it seems fraught with peril. Learning how to do it with a sword would be a way of tackling that fear head-on, eh? And I *am* supposed to do something I'm afraid of every day....
