Padme Photoshoots
Gosh! We took pics of Battle Padme and Lake Padme last night. The battle ones came out ok, not great, but the lake ones, the lighting was way off and I just couldn’t figure out why. On the way to work this morning I realised – we had left the light on behind the backdrop. It threw off all the…

when i had bad ebay deals
Bad Ebay Deals! I have had, as far as I can remember, 3 bad ebay deals, all involving costume stuff. The first was in probably 2001. I found a nice pair of red Mary Janes that would go good with my Asuka sundress I had recently (also) bought off ebay. This was in the days before I had paypal, so…

when the weekend was going to be busy
Last night was fun, though we weren’t out very long! We were home by 9. We finished watching Cinderella 3 and went to sleep. LOL. I was up at 2 getting a snack, though. Must have not filled up enough at Texas de Brasil! This weekend promises to be busy, Friday night, Chase is going to a concert with my…

when i got an xm radio
Chase got me not only two cute cards, but the monkey magnets from Target that I liked so much, a little Belle dressup doll, and a big model of the Millenium Falcon! (he’s going to put it together for me!) And my parents got me an XM radio. whoohoo!

when i needed a drug fix
Stupid Valentine’s Day Cards… I went several weeks ago and bought my Valentines Day Cards, so it’s not like I waited til the last minute and nothing was left… but I had the hardest time picking out a card for Chase. We were together this time last year, already, but I just gave him one of my Star Wars kiddie…

when i packed a lunch
I woke up this morning feeling rather icky. The slighty sore throat I’d had yesterday was 10x worse, and I was badly congested – my nose, my throat, and my ears! I got up and Chase had me gargle some salt water – which ended badly, but helped, and I found a sore throat lozenge in the medicine cabinet, and…

Make a Wish Troop & Padme Pics!
WOW!! The Make-a-Wish event in Clarksville yesterday was awesome! The event was supposed to be from 1-3, we ended up staying until 4 because there were SO many people there, still waiting in line to get pictures with us! I couldn’t believe how many people showed up — we raised almost $1400! I didn’t take many pictures, but here they…

when we had wintery mix
Well, I was supposed to have a hair appointment this morning (which I desperately needed, my bangs are way too long, but I will get mum to trim them sunday when I get home from nashville – I don’t trust her to do that before I wear Leia tomorrow! ;)), but dad burst into my room at 8AM going on…

Timothy Zahn Signing Pics! & Leia updates
Well, I Istill/i haven’t worked on anything lately. I did get my ceremonial Leia skirt pieces out and washed them, since it had gotten something on it while laying around in the sewing room (who knows what, probably paint or something. It came off). Mum agreed tonight to look at it with me and help me figure out where I…

when my car died
Well, this morning, I decided to leave for work a little early, and good thing. I got to my car and it wouldn’t start. Turns out the battery was dead. Luckily dad was home sick today, and of course Chase was here, so they got dad’s truck around in front of my car and got it started for me. I…

when i couldn’t play the sims
MAN! I got an external harddrive a couple of months ago, and discovered that I could install Sims 2 on it and play it off of that (my computer can’t handle it anymore, so I had uninstalled it a long time ago). So I decided to install it on the external drive tonight, I got all my stuff and sat…

when i did some more room work
So the room revamp and ultimate cleaning is finally to the point I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I started back in December, cleaning everything out and getting rid of stuff and moving things out of my room, so I could bring new stuff in. The plans were for a new bed for me, nightstand,…

The Time my Granddad Went to an Anime Convention
When I went to Katsucon 2003 (my first year there), my grandparents went with me. Obviously my grandparents know nothing about anime, and I thought they might go sight-see or something on saturday, but they didn’t – they just kinda hung out, and, I think, had a relatively good time. Well, saturday afternoon rolls around, and I ask my granddad…

when we played with Izzy
It’s nice being around a cat that acts like a normal cat (my aunt’s cat Izzy – I’m house sitting). Calvin is such a grumpy old man, all he wants to do is sleep and eat and hunt. Chase had a bunch packing paper his planes were in, and he sat it on the floor and Izzy went wild… she’s…

when the x-files kept me up
So last night, I decided I wanted to go to bed early, because lately I’ve been waking up in the morning later than I like to. So I closed up shop at 10, I had a snack, and went and read for a little bit. I had the TV on Law and Order (good for falling asleep to) — but…

Website updates
My costume website gets harder to maintain every year… with the design I had before this current one, I never even finished the “friends” and “etc” pages. It was one of those “well, I get to it one day” sort of things. After ages of that design, I got tired of it and decided to revamp and simplify the whole…

when i was dreaming of a con
No continuation of the cool dream last night! Only thing I remember about whatever I dreamed, was I was at a con, and someone had done a costume I’ve been wanting to do, only they were riding in a boat that had wheel on it. American Idol had the Memphis episode on next week!!!! I’m so excited! 😀

when i had a weird dream, again
weird dream last night! I don’t remember the first part of it, except I was like, on this quest or hunt of some kind with a bunch of other people. At one point we ended up at “my house,” which was a huge mansion, with a lot of people hanging out in like a bar area. My mum was in…
