    when i was going to new orleans

I’m leaving for New orleans on monday and I’m nowhere near done with my dress. Tomorrow night when I get home I need to bust out some fabric paint…

    when our ROTK plans changed again

    Well, my plans have changed for ROTK! Our entire ROTK night has been flipped upside down, fixed, flipped again and barely patched together again. First, when it was announced Memphis was getting the Trilogy Tuesday, we called the theater that day to ask when tickets would go on sale. The person on the phone told us wrong (that they wouldn’t…

    when i was a magnificent bastard

    I have been called a magnificent bastard! One of my life goals is now fulfilled. Now I just need drive on the autobahn, sign that contract for the SunDowner movie, dive into a pile of money ala Scrooge McDuck, throw a TV out of a hotel window, and have a horde of flying monkeys. I had a bunch of other…

    when i hated biters

    Sometimes I think the people on cosplaylab just randomly chose a time on the “Amount of time spent on this costume” section. 40-60 hours on super simple costume? Wow OK! And while I’m ranting, this person on a board I occasionally post at started posting in this one thread, linking to the artwork of the arwen wedding dress I’m making…

    Sketchblog: Graduating Harry

    This is a back-dated post! In 2016 I went back through my old sketchbooks and “rescued” a lot of my old, lost artwork, and I’m slowly getting them re-added to my archives. I’m not sure if I was doing this as a graduation gift for someone, or just wanted to draw Harry and the gang graduating. (Of course now we…

    when there was a jesus christ superstar miracle

    Something really weird just happened. As you all know, I lost a LOT of CDs recently when my 200 disc CD wallet was left on the back of the car. So anyway, I’m reinstalling Photoshop on my aunt’s computer (because SOMEBODY deleted it). I borrowed Dad’s 5.5 disc from his office, a CD he doesn’t bring home, and that I…

    when i made a christmas list

    When I was a kid we would get this Wish Book every year, just in time for Christmas shopping. I forget who put the Wish Book out – Sears, I think – but it had a LOT of toys in it. And as soon as we got it, I would go get a pen, sit down, and circle everything in…

    when i played rotk all thanksgiving

    Today has been pretty nice. I spent the night at my aunt’s last night so I could ride with her up to my grandmother’s house this morning. We were the first ones there. I didn’t help cook. I sat in the living room with my grandfather and aunt and watched Rudy. Everybody else eventually got there and we ate. It…

    when i played ROTK

    Beat ROTK last night – was disappointed, no extra exclusive ROTK footage. The last level with Frodo, Sam and Gollum was *annoying.* And you know how much I love Gollum, but he was SCARY. he kept jumping after me and making these awful noises. I ran around in circles for a long time with him chasing me. I’ll probably have…

    when we took yuffie photos

    haha I love The Simpsons. Lisa Simpson: Can you tell me what happens at the end of the series? JK Rowling: Oh, he grows up and marries YOU. Is that what you want to hear? Lisa Simpson: (dreamy sigh) Yes! A happy happy birthday to Priscellie, whose picture present thinger I need to finish. Yuffie pictures from yesterday!! Calvin joined…

    when there were unexpected fireworks

    The freakos up the road are shooting off fireworks for no reason again. I mean, it’s kinda cool that just randomly shoot off really cool fireworks every once in a while (they must own a fireworks shop or something, because they have really, really good fireworks. Like all of it is what we would consider our “grand finale.”), but DAMN.…
