    I know, I know, I’m so bad running off and hardly updating in ages. I copied some of my pics and convention posts from my livejournal and brought them over here.

    a long overdue update

    (EDIT: This was a catch-all collection of recent costume photos and events originally posted to my livejournal. Since I ported it over here, it may be a bit redundant.) As I said in the last quick post, sorry for disappearing the past couple of months! Besides the usual weekday work drudge, I’ve been out of town almost every weekend since…

    Art Post: Beauty and the Beast

    This is the version with no text, outside of the title — the print version has the school name, dates, etc. Spring 2006 poster – if you’ll notice there was no Fall 2005 poster, due to me being too busy last semester to do one!! I straightened up and managed to get one out for this semester though. I’m not…

    when i looked up my birthday

    If you go to Wikipedia and look up your birthdate (minus the year)- it’ll give you a list of events and things that took place on that date. And I discovered one very important event that took place on my birthday: 1977 – TV character, Fonzie jumps a shark on water skis in an episode of Happy Days. That’s right.…
