This weekend is Anime Expo!! And I'm not going so I don't know why that warranted two exclamation points. We went to Anime Expo once, in 2003. The way Ash and I managed that was that we talked our parents into doing it as a family vacation. We flew out to LA on... Wednesday I think? And on Thursday we went to Universal Studios. Why didn't we do Disneyland? Friends on ...
Ugh... so over a year ago -- almost two years ago now -- I voluntarily changed my work schedule so I could be home earlier in the day but it meant getting up earlier. It was hard at first to get up an hour earlier than I normally did, but I figured I'd adjust. I have never adjusted. Every morning is like death. But I won't go back, I like ...
This is also some non-Sunday stuff, but it's mostly Sunday. I spent the morning being lazy because I was so tired (and sore) from Saturday. Chase actually got out and did some yard work. Then we went and had lunch, picked up stuff for dinner, ran some of dad's equipment out to him (we loaded up in both our cars the night before). Then I came to do the 3rd ...
Yes it's a huge art dump. Well huge by today's standards, not so much by like... me circa 2001 standards. First up is a Amidala picture I've been working on for a while... I got bored after I finished the face so I'd do just a little bit each day because I didn't really feel like doing the rest LOL but I pushed through and it's finally done. It's a re-do ...
So it was a weird weekend. I didn't get much done, costume-wise. I had Friday off. Luna was SHOCKED when I walked out of the bedroom at 9AM. Like, "Wtf are you doing here?!" "Seriously go away you are ruining my groove." Friday I went swimming and finally got to break in my new WW swimsuit. The top could use some more work - I think next time I have ...
Last night I re-did Mon Mothma's sleeves because I realized I'd done them a little wrong - thankfully nothing difficult to fix. I don't feel like figuring out the necklace thingie D: I am lazy. I don't want to do any crafting. I just want to sew. NO CRAFT ONLY SEW So since I didn't feel like messing with that I did a dye test on the linen blend I ...
Hey I have apparently never called a post "Happy Monday" before, so I got that going for me, which is nice. Started off the weekend with a bang when I broke a crown eating lunch on friday. I've already had so much dental work this year and so much more to come that it's just like, piling on. At least I'll be close to my deductible after the next round ...
Have my swatches arrived? Maybe one day I'll get to do this costume....
So yes, I'm doing DragonCon this year. A little more than last year but still not going up to the full week we used to do. Planning on driving in Friday morning and home Sunday night, staying in Cat's room. Ash is probably going with me, Chase is staying home. So at the moment I'm thinking of taking: Bespin Leia - still need to tweak it Mon Mothma TFA Blue ...
1. Got my car fixed. I won't go into the whole story but it's been having this "burping" problem since right before Celebration. We drove to Orlando and back with the "burping" - realized we did need to get it looked at but put it off until it died on me in traffic last week. Took it in Tuesday. $345 later it's fixed and running nicely again. Thankful it wasn't a bigger ...
