    the gates swung open and…

    Pardon me while I have a strange interlude. Why you couple of baboons… What makes you think I’d marry either one of you? Strange how the wind blows tonight… it has a thin eerie voice, reminds me of poor old Marsden. How happy I could be with either of these two, if both of them just went away…

    Fabric & SDCC 2006 Schedule

    My main brooch for mustafar padme is almost done; I’m a bit stuck on doing the little flowers on the sculpey. Everytime I tried to just carve the shape it ends up not looking right. I got tired of thinking about it yesterday so I haven’t looked at it since. I went to the fabric store friday – got my…

    when we made extra sdcc plans

    Well, Ash and I have decided not to go to Legoland in San Diego next month; it’s too far away and too expensive. Instead, I realised the Hotel del Coronado is very near there. I’d love to go see that! I think we may do that that wednesday afternoon before preview night. If not that, I also realised the Salk…

    when mom hit her face

    Well I’m posting this from weekend, which I generally try not to do, but I haven’t had internet access at home since friday morning. Very frustrating. It’s apparently fixed now, but I was only able to get online once over the weekend, and that was for 5 minutes at my aunt’s house saturday afternoon. Ok here was my whole weekend…

    Sculpey Moment

    Well, I was without internet access all weekend, so you’d think I would have gotten some more work done, but alas, that was not the case. Anyway, the point of this entry was this: I’m sitting here working with some sculpey at the moment, and it made me remember this incident a few years ago. It was back in early…

    when i got kevin there 3 hours early

    I’m trying to clean my room, because Chase is gonna be here this weekend and my room is a disaster area and I know he doesn’t want to sleep in the middle of my laundry. But, I’m just so zapped from work today, it’s hard to do anything… my eyes are hurting a lot the past couple of days, and…

    Breha Organa

    On a random note, sometime (more than likely next year, as I don’t have time for it this year), if Chase ever decides to make the Bail Organa costume, I seriously want to make Breha to go with it. It’s such a pretty costume. Hopefully I’m going to make a fabric store run tomorrow. If I don’t get sidetracked at…

    when my ears wouldn’t pop

    ARRRRRGH I am feeling better tonight, still a little clogged up, but I have more energy and don’t feel so zapped. The one thing that is still bugging me is the feeling my ears haven’t popped. Actually it’s changed a bit from that, it just feels like there’s something in there. Sound is muffled, and it gets worse if I…

    SDCC 2006 Prep

    Now that COSI is behind me,  here’s what I need to focus on for Comic Con: Vader Chase has pretty much got everything done. The pants still need some tweaking, I need to hem his cape, and get the shirt started. The shirt won’t take long (at least I hope it won’t). Now that he has his shoulder armor I…

    WSMI at COSI 2006 Pics!

    Since I did the Wonderfest post over at my other journal, I’ll do the COSI one here! A strange crew on the falcon… Friday! Ash and I left Chase’s apt and took a cab to the airport. The cab showed up 20 minutes earlier than it was supposed to, so we got to the airport waaaaaaay early. Flight was uneventful,…

    Wonderfest 2006 Pics!

    Well, I’m back from Wonderfest. Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to the Ren Faire as I woke up sick on Monday 🙁 But we decided to definitely go next year, and to go earlier in May when it’s cooler. Anyway here’s pics and new costume stuff: Chase and I drove up Friday night – it was an easy drive,…

    when my bandwidth was high

    I got an email this morning telling my bandwidth for the month was at 75%. It’s never that high! I dug through my referrers looking for someone somewhere direct linking, but couldn’t find anything major (btw, I hate the new referrer program my webhost uses – on forums, it doesn’t record the actual URL it came from, just the top…
