    when there was no update to our luggage

    11:00 Memphis time, 9:00 San Diego time: still no word on our luggage. This is going to suck MAJORLY for me if we don’t get it. I’ve got costume parts in there… they’re saying probably late tonight (like 9:30, 10) or tomorrow morning before they know anything. Anyway, today we went to the zoo, but it was hard to really…

    when our luggage got lost

    Well, today already has a really long story. I will make it as short as possible. We get to the airport and check in. We board our flight. The airplane has a glitch. Everybody deplanes. I run back down to the ticket counter, where I stand for 20 minutes, but manage to get us a different flight, with a different…

    when my art was on bootleg harry potter stickers

    I am so very amused! Tanja found my crappy artwork on some bootleg HP stickers (along with some other HP artists, too) I mention it because I find it funny, and besides the strange inclusion of my “Dumbledore Flips The Bird” picture, those stickers are NEAT. My favourite is the one with Harry’s head from the first movie poster with…

    when i was annoyed, yet again

    Person #37 who has pissed me off today: ‘Art Person’ who commented on one of my elfwood pics (one of the oekaki ones): “Dude you’re an awesome artist, but with all your pics you use crappy media, find a better program and you will be even more amazing” Let’s see. In that gallery I have- 2 Coloured Pencil 1 Crayon…

    Thoughts on SDCC

    I’ve decided not to take Hild to Comic Con, cause the wig is just a pain to transport. So I’m thinking of replacing it with either my Padme Rainbow gown or my Gryffindor Quidditch uniform. I”m leaning more towards my Quidditch uniform, since I’ve never worn it anywhere and it would be something easy to wear at night when nothing…
