    I’ll post about my thoughts later (after I’ve seen it again), but here are my pics from the midnight showing here, along with other events we did over the week.

    A-Kon woes

    I’m trying to figure out what else to take to A-Kon. Jupiter is NOT going to happen…if I rushed I could get it done… but I’m not all that excited to do it at the moment, I’d rather focus on the next Arwen, so I pushed Jupiter back to MTAC next year. Anyway – For A-Kon, I’m definitely taking regular…

    when i forced myself to eat burger king

    Today was my first day of hitting up Burger King for the new Star Wars toys. (BK, right now, is offering (I think) 31 different Star Wars toys with their kids meals – and they are ADORABLE) I got 1 at lunch and 2 at dinner. At lunch I lucked out and got the Special edition Darth Vader/Anakin! (Ash was…

    CompUSA Troop Pics

    Last night SMT did a Star Wars thing for CompUSA – I got a few pictures. If only the truck wasn’t in the background!. That’s no droid! Oh, and here’s one Schmootika took, of me and dad: Me, as Leia, had a shoot out with a stormtrooper. Dad, as Qui-Gon, ambushed the trooper. The guy filming the stuff said he’d…

    Planning

    San Diego tickets bought – expensive, ouch! We leave Memphis at 6AM (again, ouch!) – plane change in Minneapolis – arrive San Diego at 11 AM. So we’ll have plenty of time to swim and rest (especially rest – if I have to be up at 4AM to catch a plane, I’m going to want a nap! haha) before Preview…

    Art Post: Luke and Vader

    I did this as a gift to someone, just because I wanted to do a Luke/Vader picture anyway so that worked out! It was kind of rushed because I ended up only have 2 days today, but it’s ok. I’m pleased with how Vader came out… not so much with Luke. He’s ok but his upper lip is too puffy…

    when han solo scared me

    So I got my lifesize Han Solo stand up in the mail this morning. (I bought it at C3 and had it shipped home) I set it up in the kitchen, right behind the counter, so that when mom gets home this afternoon, it would scare her. Twice this morning – TWICE – I have gone through the kitchen into…

    C3, Queen Amidala, Mara Jade, and A-Kon

    C3, costume wise… I wore my Imperial Officer on Thursday morning – not much to say there, except I still want new pants and a new rank insignia thingie. I wore Padme lake dress for a while after that – and the necklace completely fell apart. LOL. That’s what I get for wearing a 3 year old costume and not…

    Art Post: Darth Maul

    This was for the yearly auction at my mom’s school (previously did two LOTR coloured pencil pieces). This year I didn’t have time to get one done in time for the actual auction, so I did a “You-Pick-It” sort of thing. The winner (a 3rd grader) picked Darth Maul. I like how his face turned out, don’t like the saber!…

    when i apparently critique myself too harshly

    Guestbook post: (deleted, now) “Are you always so negative about your Potter pictures? Most of them had the “I don’t really like it”, “It’s not very good” sort of explanations. Why do you show them, then if they are so ugly…?” ANSWER: Because I feel like it. Look I don’t hate on everything but I also don’t kid myself. I’m…

    Suessical Poster

    For those who didn’t know, besides having to get everything ready for C3, I’ve been having to do the usual spring play poster TOO. It’s been crazy. But the poster is done, and all but little accessories done for costumes… First off, the Seussical poster: I would love it if I hadn’t had to squeeze all those 800 people at…
