    LOL Comic Con

    Cath called me last night, upset with me ’cause I didn’t tell her about this convention that she wanted to go to. LOL! San Diego Comic Con. I was like, Cath, we couldn’t’ve all of a sudden pick up and flew to San Diego Comic Con, especially with Dragoncon right around the corner. Anyway, got most of the Ocha ears…

    Padme & Ocha updates

Tomorrow I am going to get the ribbon and we’re going to figure out how to do the hair this weekend what else– Am working on ocha boots, ears, amidala necklace and amidala dress tonight. If we have time…

    Finished most of the work on Amidala last night, except for the dying and the hair thing. Got the necklace finished, and most of the white dress. Just a few little things left to do to it. Today I have to meet mom at the wig shop after I get off work – she wants to help me find a…

    when anime expo was a reality

    After Animazement Ash and I started joking around about skipping all conventions next year and putting all our money towards going to Anime Expo (which is the big ole’ convention in California) I wasn’t serious about it – I mean, I’d LOVE to go, but I rather go to a handful of small conventions over the course of a few…

    when i had another dream

    I like looking at IMDB… for instance, here is the cast list for the original He-Man. They really made use of their cast. And Alan Oppenheimer (who played Skeletor) also did Mighty Mouse in the 50’s, and the Blob in that “Pryde of the X-Men” cartoon, and “Additional Voices” in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He’s done “Additional Voices” a lot.…

    Dragoncon parade?

    Ash and I are thinking of participating in this parade Dragoncon is having. We think it would be fun. Only thing is, I canNOT figure out what to wear. Shadowcat would be too hot probably, and the heat would probably make my hair fall. Ocha – no. Just NO. My two main choices are either She-Ra or Amidala. She-Ra would…

    when there was a package on the porch

    Oh! You know how I said my worst enemy is the mailperson? Well, the mailperson is at it again. Whenever we get packages too large for the mailbox, the mailperson leaves them by the garage. And not off to the side, but just a little in front of the door so that you have to get OUT of the car,…

    Pre Dragoncon rush

    Finished most of the work on Ocha’s white dress today. Still got to attach the collar and the sleeves. And maybe take up the sides a little bit. Also finished her tail (it’s neat!), and redid part of her wig last night (one curl was kinda funky), and discovered I could use the sewing machine on the vinyl I got…

    when i watched he-man

    AH! Hah I almost forgot! I managed to catch the last ten minutes of He-Man on cartoon network this afternoon. I had forgotten but was switching around and there it was. One thing I like – Adam doesn’t look exactly like He-Man, only wearing tights and a pink shirt. I had also forgotten – day before yesterday went to Target…

    when i was going to take anthropology

    I AM TAKING ANTHROPOLOGY!!!!!! Hee!! Anyway. I went in to see what other class I could scrape up for this semester, and she’s looking for an Liberal Arts class in the right time frame (I needed more LA classes), and she goes “All I’ve got is History of Math and Anthropology.” And I think I practically leapt across the desk…

    More MTAC pics – here! (edit: link was an old geocities link and now dead, so I removed it.) Ones of me as Lina and Urd (best pic of Urd yet, because I fixed the wig!) and Ash as Yuna x 2 again. I forgot to mention, that of all the people at Otakon that *didn’t* step on my Lina…

    when it was stormy

    I have to go up to school today. And then after that I have to go to my mom’s new school to see her class room. Guess I’ll stop on my way home – if it’s not raining too hard – and get that colour remover I need. It’s storming really good here right now. It’s nice. It’s keeping it…

    I just dyed some fur for my Ocha costume. It turned out perfect… gads I love dying stuff! This afternoon we are going to pick up all the stuff I need for Amidala. Mom and talked about it the other day and pretty much figured how we’re going to do it. They only thing we haven’t figured out is the…

    when i read the princess diaries

    I really, really love Meg Cabot’s The Princess Diaries series. It’s not exactly my normal reading material, but the movie was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, so I ended up buying the second book in the series while in Jackson last month. Well, if you go read the books now, make sure you read the FIRST one…

    Shadowcat, Padme and Ocha updates

    MTAC was fun! 😀 I took five rolls of film (only used 3 at otakon…!) Actually……….. DAD took 5 rolls of film, mostly ’cause I told him to take pictures of everyone in the costume contest. I should have them back by the end of this week. Shadowcat – got boots, got tights, got blue bathing suit bottom. Got fabric…
