    It just has to work! Duracell, trust it everywhere.

    (Edit: Unfortunately the attached photo got lost in a server move!) Mr Grasshead: Day One. I found him in the closet, where he must have been for years. Mom said he was probably no good anymore and would never grow hair. I defy her! Mr Grasshead will grow his grass hair! Off to a good start.

Ash’s nasty workspace!! all that styrofoam! Ash’s X-Wing Pilot chestbox in progress- looking awesome. My workspace – cutting padme petals for the cape. The cloak…

    when i never had a babysitter

    It came to my attention recently that I have never had a babysitter. That is, a babysitter in a traditional sense – a teenager/20s-something who is not really related to me. Over Halloween weekend, Catherine was taking care of 3 kids whose parents were out of town. We were annoyed at this, since it meant Cath had to take care…

    cats & dogs

    Dad and I spent 30 minutes tonight looking at pictures of cats online. Some Indy pics… This is the best picture I have of Indy’s Halloween costume. (Actually this was more like her August costume or something. She didn’t actually wear it on Halloween). I’ve got to fix one of the straps and then I’ll take better pics.

    Qui-Gon and Amidala updates

    In the past week I had to make a few last minute, extremely cheap (they had a v. tight budget) costumes for the play I was involved: An “Acrobatman” shirt (blue shirt with a yellow triangle and a red “A” on the front ala Superman), 3 Devo hats, and an Elvis shirt (with attached belt so the 2 actors that…

    when i was in devo

    As you may or may not know, I’m playing Miss Invisowrap in a small production of “May the Farce Be With You” nexty weekend. As of tonight, I’m playing Miss Invisowrap as Margaret Dumont/Mrs Rittenhouse from Animal Crackers. I even get to say “What in the world is the matter with you?” at one point. So, Miss Invisowrap, talking like…

    when i was chopping away at a poster

    So far tonight I’ve watched Life of Brian and Ever After. Don’t know what I’ll watch next. Recently I’ve seen The Incredibles (great!), The Changeling (talked about that already thought), Repulsion (creepy!), and both the old and new version of The Haunting. Randomly watched the crappy new one on TNT or TBS the other day – the day after, we…

    when captain spaulding was french

    Holy CRAP. Woody Allen’s “Everyone Says I Love You” (which I randomly left it on, having never seen it), has a scene with a bunch of people dressed like Groucho Marx all singing “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” in french. Best thing EVER. OMG that made my year!

    when we needed to make room for italy

    I just misread the name of the show “Make Room for Baby” as “Make Room for Italy.” I guess it was just wishful thinking, because I’d much, much rather watch “Make Room for Italy” than “Make Room for Baby.” Now I’m watching Kindergarten Cop. Who is your daddy, and what does he do? It’s not a tumor!!!

    when i had a bad feeling

    Today I got to school and pulled into the parking lot behind the art museum (since at the time I get to school there is never any parking open in front of the school). As I was pulling into the parking lot, this white mustang that was sitting on the grass down a little ways pulled out, and came into…

    when the changeling was not scary

    I have been so skittish lately, like freaking out over nothing, thinking I’m seeing things in the house. I don’t know what brought it on, but last night I had to watch ‘The Changeling’ for one of my classes, and my teacher had been going on and on about how scary it was. So I was like, crap. I’m going…

    I got mine and my father’s plane tickets for Celebration III – now I just need to get Ash’s. I registered for Akon. Next year… I was thinking of going to Numa Rei No Con in february, but I’m thinking that might put the squeeze on the finances. I may or may not go, it’s going to depend on how…

    Halloween 2004 and Leia pics!

    At the friday night party :B Random Hermione pics. I hardly wore it at all saturday – maybe a hour and a half at the most. My cousin as Link and my aunt as Snoopy. This picture cracks me up. My parents and Ash parents as hobbits, Gandalf, and an elf. Leia in the control room XD (the saturday night…
