It was me, na, kristie, rachel, david… and ash. lol, we decided Ash would be “Stand-In Catherine” (cath couldn’t get off work in time to come). We drove up there, went to Party City to get…

    when i got elvis stitch

    I have to clean the house today… mom is coming home tomorrow and if she sees the house in it’s current state, I’m dead. Ooo!! Lately I have been eating McDonald’s Happy Meals pretty regularly. I’ve been trying to cut back on the junk food a little, so going from two hamburgers and a large fry down to the one…

    when cat got a new job suggestion

    OH! Almost forgot!! When we went to see Lilo and Stitch the other night, we were walking into the theater when one of Cath’s friends pops up out of nowhere to say hey (We estimate that cat knows approximately half the population of the city). A college friend. We go on into the theater ’cause… you know, we want good…

    when i saw lilo and stitch

    Five good things that have happened to me lately: 1. OMG tanja drew me a Bollywood Britan!!! heheheh! 2. Saw Lilo and Stitch! Loved it! 3. Dad finally hooked the cd burner up to my computer. Backed up all my old art files – from 1997 to 2001, a lot of stuff. Went from about 200MB free to 1.5GB free…

    Lum & Lina Inverse updates

    Got fabric for Lum and blue fabric for Lina yesterday. Decided not to use the shirt I originally got for it, and to make it. That’s about it… Ash got her fabric for Skuld, and gloves and such. I also got her a wig for skuld. We originally weren’t going to do that, but I found a good one for…

    Urd progress

    Finished the purple portion of my Urd dress… meaning I got the zipper in, fixed the bottom and got all the edges turned under. Made the purple sleeves, too. Now I need to do the black parts and the yellow parts… get boots and make boot covers. Need to find bracelets.

    when i got permission

    Ash just gave me permission to do something I’ve been wanting to do for ages! If there’s anything you want off Astronomy Domine, better save it! My friend Kristie got new business cards and they misspelled her name. So now I call her Krishe.

    when i remember nimrod

    I forgot what I came to post about. Oh, there was nothing (that I saw, anyway) about the BREAKING NEWS! in the newspaper today. How about that? I’m not sure why I always put ‘BREAKING NEWS!’ I guess that’s like the way I say it or something. It reminds me of NIMROD!, which is a joke so old Catherine probably…

    when i had a photo plan

    Hehe! Ash is such a cute little Xiaoyu! This is her “Look what I can do!” picture. When my cousin was a senior in high school, that year for Christmas she gave everyone a nice, framed copy of one of her senior pictures. And I mean everyone. We had about three. It was funny that year, because every other gift…

    I dyed my Lina gloves!!! They turned out good, I’m so happy XD It’s so easy! Now I’m ready for Ash’s Yuna sleeves! Dad and I went and got chicken wire and wallpaper paste and a bucket for making paper mache paste. I’m worried about doing this, I’ve got so little experience. Today got my Urd pattern cut out and…

    when i went hunting for lina pants

    Mom and I went downtown today to go to Hot Topic. It was the only place I could think of in Memphis that might have red vinyl pants (for my lina costume). An hour’s drive, a whole lot of traffic and two dollar parking for a “might have.” We got there and I didn’t see any. Dude working there came…

    Lina & Urd wigs

    I just bought my Lina wig. whew. It’s now the most expensive wig I own. I wanted something that would look more natural than just a regular straight style wig. I bought it from the same people I got my She-Ra wig from. It’s layered and really nice looking. It’s a little darker than I really wanted, but… it’s just…
