    when i got a tacky hat

    So yesterday I met up with Mema and Daddy Bob for a quick little birthday thing. Kristie fixed cupcakes for me, since I’m getting my beloved Miss Muffin cake at work tomorrow, and another at home tomorrow night. The cupcakes were awesome – they had Spider-man cupcake paper thingies, and I got a Spider-man candle! I got some money, Hitchhiker’s…

    when i got flying circus

    Tomorrow is the day I finally get my birthday present from my grandma. She bought it for me like, months and months ago, so I’ve been waiting for this day for a while! Oh yes, it’s the Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus Megaset. YAY. I also asked for the Firefly DVD set. I haven’t seen any of it, but as…

    Upcoming

    I had to do a fabric store run for class the other day, and while I was there noticed they had the patterns on sale. I picked up the Simplicity Padme Battle suit/Aayla Secura pattern, the Jedi pattern, and also the McCall’s Lavender Nightgown pattern – I might throw that together for MidSouthCon next year, I like the pattern 🙂…

    when i had to unpack

    I found my embroidery sample, finally. Kes had gotten it, I think – it was under the ottoman. Today was fairly nice. I saw my grandparent’s new house, it was very cute! I really like it. I’m glad they’ve moved. I finally got my boxes back (they’ve been at my aunt’s house since they came back from FedEx) – I’m…

    when i was a freckle face

    My freckles are like 10x worse this year. Like, I don’t mind them at all, but I don’t think of myself as a person with freckles. But then I looked in the mirror in the car and I was like WHOA MAN I AM A FRECKLE FACE!! I should take a pic of me outside of costume makeup to show…

    Post-Dragoncon 05 again

    First and foremost I wanted to write about Stitch. Since I didn’t get to write about him at all while making him, since Ash wanted him kept secret. This project has been on my mind since April, when we first came up with the skit idea while swimming at C3. I started out by finding a front shot of his…

    when the fish died

    I just saw a news article saying most of the fish in the New Orleans Aquarium had died, due to the loss of electricity. That makes me sad, since we had so much fun at the aquarium when we were in New Orleans year before last. Glad to know the penguins survived, I’d hate to think the little penguin friend…

    Dragoncon 2005 pics!

    4th Year at Dragoncon! So! Thursday morning I got up and went over to Ash’s where my mum picked us up and took us to the airport. Ash and I sat around for a while after checking in. Anyway, Cat and Melissa met us there and… um, do any of you guys remember being in the airport after security? Cause…

    when i realized i had a jango shirt

    So I have this shirt I hang out in a lot. I sleep in it occasionally. It’s just a comfy t-shirt to wear at home. I’ve had it forever. It’s a kid’s yellow t-shirt with some Star Wars stuff on the front. So today I had it on, and I looked down at it, and was like, “WTF! Why do…

    ugh planes

    Can I just be sedated until we get to Atlanta? We’re leaving for Dragoncon tomorrow, and I’m a bundle of nerves. For various reasons. Everybody keep your fingers crossed that everything goes ok tomorrow! But anyway, we’ll be getting into ATL around 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. I won’t be around the hotel that night, though – we’ve got tickets to see…

    when the power was out

    So, the rain has stopped, for a while, anyway. Due to the fact we haven’t had much rain around here lately, we didn’t get flooded – even though it rained ALL night, our neighbor’s front yard wasn’t flooded (and it always floods when we get a lot of rain – the front part of his yard is very low, kids…

    when i hated the news

    I hate when these news shows and reports interview people who are upset. Why don’t they just leave them alone, instead of displaying their misery to millions? I swear, if something horrible ever happens to me, and I see some idiot coming at me with a video camera and a microphone, I’ll punch ’em.
