The photoshoot Saturday went pretty good! We managed to get through all 8, but I almost stopped after 6. I was exhausted. But after a little nap and dinner, I was able to pull together and finish the last 2. I've got 4 of them up so far: Imperial Officer: Played around with a couple of different hairstyles for this but my fav ended up being the braid. Arwen!! Ahhh! OMG I love my ...
This weekend was an odd mix; not sure I enjoyed the trip, but all in all I'm glad I went, since the movie was good. We set out Friday as soon as Chase got home from work -- after several stops (gas, dinner, snacks, stretching legs, changing drivers, etc -- you'd think it was a 9 hour drive the way we kept stopping! It wasn't much more than Memphis-Nashville.), we finally ...
My day of working at home has turned into "Day of Looking for Stuff." First I had to find all my Susan stuff. I haven't worn it since 2003, so it was spread out all over. The corset and skirt were together, at least. One boot was where it was supposed to be - the other was hiding. One of the laces is missing from the corset - no clue where ...
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, and short. Columbus weather? Not so great. It was pouring and ...
First things first: -Got my midnight Star Wars tickets. Yay! -Got tickets to see Phantom of the Opera in Atlanta Sept 1, night before Dragoncon -School is finished for the semester, whee. C3 was at an awful time of the year. Both Ash and I had so much school stuff due because it was smack at the end of the semester! I had my finals the days after I got back ...

It is freaking hot. Our air conditioner has been out since thursday. The highs have been around, oh, 97, and that doesn't include the heat index, which I don't even want to think about. At first it was ok... and it was nice at night... but now it's just UGH. I got up this morning and I'm just sticky all over. It's made working on anything really hard. Especially costumes. I ...
