    Disney pictionary and stuff

    First off I had a hair appointment yesterday and he curled my hair and it looked v. cute. Secondly, Cath, Rach and Nana came over last night. We ordered pizza, ate cupcakes, and played games. Cath & Rach had gotten me Disney Pictionary, and Rach and I made an amazing comeback at the last second to win the game! LOL.…

    Lion King on stage!

    so this past weekend was our weekend for relaxation, for the first time in a few months. We bought a video game (Justice League something-or-another) and actually finished it Sunday, it was fun. We enjoyed it so much we went to Target last night in search of another game — we ended up with X-Men Legends II, which we didn’t…

    getting lost, part two

    Dropped Chase off at the airport. Turns out they’re doing a lot of construction around the airport, causing confusion on my part. I took what I thought to be my turn out of the airport and back to the interstate, but instead ended up completely lost. I drove for a few minutes, trying to get my bearings to see if…

    To Open the toys or Not To Open the toys

    You guys know I don’t care anything about keeping the toys and collectables I buy in their packaging, right? I love ripping open a new toy, and then setting up the figures in a silly way. I’ve have a handful of things over the years that I decided to leave in their packaging – mostly, the big LOTR action figure…

    hee

    chase sent me a card today and this was the message: “I thought this was cute… just remember, when the plastic fades, the costumes go to storage and seasons change, I will still love you. Beyond all the things we do, you and me are *us* regardless of anything else but our love. Yes I wrote that myself LOL.. I…

    So like, my myspace page is all clean now. Tomorrow is busy busy, got to make a run to the bank, then to Ash’s graduation, followed by a lunch in honour of her graduation, another trip to the Botanic Garden, Target (again!), then we have a little free time finally, then Chase has his first softball game at 8 (at…

    Poster stuff

    Well the poster (and the silly drama that went with it) ended up being worth it. Made a killing! After paying for some printing, it leaves me with enough to pay a big chunk of what we owe for the photographer. Whoohoo. We went to see Hot Fuzz last night. It was awesome. This weekend, Ash graduates (whoohoo!) – apparently…

    when i chronicled my wallet

    I’m cleaning out my wallet, because I got a new one! I thought I’d list all the junk that was in it, because i’m a nerd like that. Ticket stubs: Casino Royale, Happy Feet, TMNT, Talladega Nights (that’s it? I usually have like, 20 in there.) Receipts: Ben and Jerry’s, Sekisui, Target, Texas De Brazil, McAllister’s, Hancock Fabrics, Huey’s, another…

    Website updates

    My costume website gets harder to maintain every year… with the design I had before this current one, I never even finished the “friends” and “etc” pages. It was one of those “well, I get to it one day” sort of things. After ages of that design, I got tired of it and decided to revamp and simplify the whole…

    the fair

    I’m sitting here waiting on Chase to get home… he’s taking foreeeever, traffic must be really bad. Oh, wait, I’m in Nashville, traffic is ALWAYS like that here. Anyway – we went to the fair last week! We all gathered at nana’s house to ride down together… and I was surprised to see that in the two weeks since I’d…

    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…

    sooooooo

    I know, I know, I’m so bad running off and hardly updating in ages. I copied some of my pics and convention posts from my livejournal and brought them over here. As I said there, I’ve basically been out of town every weekend since March – I haven’t been this busy in ages, and I don’t have a free weekend…

    woe is me

    Well I haven’t updated in a while, i’ve been busy constantly… it’s one thing after another lately! While I was going through the marathon of finishing the play poster for the school last week, I, in a fit of madness, bought a mannequin on ebay. I thought it would be nice to have one to store particular costumes on, like…

    Dressing a Galaxy

    I got my Dressing a Galaxy today!!! It’s #809, signed by Trisha Biggar. And first off, it’s HUGE! I haven’t messed with a lot of it, because I want to show it off like it is now, all perfect and pretty. But I glanced through the book – AMAZING! I’m a little disappointed in the swatches I got. Some cool…

    stupidity!

    I’m glad Ash has been here tonight to keep me cheered up… here’s some random stupidity that happened tonight. For some reason, out of nowhere, while we were looking at references of one of the Arwen dresses I’m making this year, I said, “What if Steven Tyler had played Elrond?” The idea cracked us up, so I made this. Is…

    It just has to work! Duracell, trust it everywhere.

    (Edit: Unfortunately the attached photo got lost in a server move!) Mr Grasshead: Day One. I found him in the closet, where he must have been for years. Mom said he was probably no good anymore and would never grow hair. I defy her! Mr Grasshead will grow his grass hair! Off to a good start.
