    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.

    when there was a lot of rain

    We’re all fine here. Just a lot of rain. Nothing bad so far. It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, too, so we just have to worry about flooding. Luckily I don’t have school tomorrow so I don’t have to drive all the way into town, I just have to go to work. We’ll probably be slammed at work, since…

    Disney Princess Costumes FINISHED

    All the princesses are done 🙂 Cinderella looks a bit dumpy in that picture because it doesn’t fit my dressform – the yellow tint of the ceiling light looks pretty icky on it, too. Snow White’s collar isn’t perfect, but it’ll do. All is done on Ash’s costume except putting the zipper in – that’ll be the only thing that…

    Princesses & Leia Rebel updates

    Yesterday I went to Hancock for some last minute things. I also got some done on Leia. Working on Snow White’s collar now – once I finish that, all I need to do is add the cuffs, and do the bows for the shoes and hair, and finish her slip. Reckon I can do that today. For Leia, I need…

    when i didn’t watch firefly

    Here’s the thing: I KNOW I would love Firefly if I would watch it. I know I would. It’s Joss, and it’s space, of course I’d love it… but I think that’s why I won’t watch it. I don’t feel like getting into anything else right now. I dunno, I’m weird like that. I think I’ll ask for the dvd…

    Cinderella: Anyway, the corset wasn’t finished when I took this tonight (it is now). The only thing left to do is fix the hem (it was screwy first time around) and add the silver parts to the shoulders (where those straps are hanging down, that’s what they’ll be attached to), and the parts to the hips, and her neckband –…
