    when we rented ringers

    So last night we went and saw Walk the Line and rented Ringers: Lord of the Fans. Walk the Line was awesome, and it was so cool because part of it was filmed down the street from my friend’s house, really near my school and my dad’s office. And then there was Sun Studios where we hung out when Melissa…

    Vader and Padme Lake Dress Updates

    Next week I’m ordering the fabric for my new Padme Lake dress. This next weekend is dedicated to Vader. Still working on that other project. The next two weeks I’m going to attempt to get some new pictures taken. Namely of my Leia costumes, because for ALL of my Leia costumes (except ceremonial, which I don’t really count) I don’t…

    when we had darrin’s dance groove

    Last night I dreamt I decided to get another tattoo, and I decided I wanted a little art nouveau/LOTR-esque vine on my FOREHEAD. On my FOREHEAD!! Oh my GOD that would hurt!! So I went in and got the tattoo, but when I looked in the mirror they had done little blue paw prints. I was so upset!! I was…

    when I gave a PSA

    So this morning I was late to work because there was a HOUSE sitting in the middle of the road. They were moving it, had it on the truck, and it was just SITTING THERE in the middle of the road, with people milling around it. I waited for about 15 minutes (because they kept looking like they were about…

    when it was another new year

    Today I was digging through my pockets, because I’m wearing a pair of pants I hadn’t worn in a while and I was wondering if there was anything interesting I’d left in there. I came across a few dollar bills and a fortune cookie fortune from who-knows-when. It said, “Now and then it’s good to pause in our pursuit of…

    when we went to shadowcon

    So I already posted my one Shadowcon pic… but here it is again anyway because I’m ready to talk more about the weekend. After getting to the con and hanging out for a while, I started getting a headache and we left; Mel came over after the wedding she was at and we played Scene-It (in which we crushed Ash)…

    2005 Year in Review!

    I ran across my original 2005 costume list on the Jedi Council boards, did I get it all done? I said I’d do: -Padme ep 1 Parade gown Done! Besides the Princesses, this was my biggest project of the year, and the one I worked on longest. I’m still quite proud of it -Qui-Gon Jinn for my father Done! It…

    Cloud City Leia preview

    Cloud City Leia finished : Doing the quilted patches was fun, and went much quicker than I thought. I’m not going to do the vest anytime soon, probably later this year. Tomorrow I’ve got to try to make myself go to the con. LOL. Sunday I’m going to try to finish my OTHER new costume… but probably no pics for…

    First post of 2006

    So far so good in 2006. On Hoth Leia, I’ve gotten the bodysuit mostly put together. I still need to work on the way it fits around my upper legs, and I need to hem the bottom. Tonight I’m going to make the belt then measure off the places for the quilted areas and start on those. I’ll definitely have…

    when randall called me

    I got my mom good last night. Earlier this week my grandfather called around 10 at night (which is really late for them!) and said he’d just gotten a call for me. That’s not unusual, being that my dad and granddad have the same name in the phone book, we get their calls and they get our calls sometimes. My…
