All kinds of fun
All kinds of fun stuff in my inbox today. 1. I got my MidSouthCon schedule! You can see me at 3 panels over the weekend. I’ll post it up here closer to then. 2. Signed & sent back the release to Marvel for their call for Agent Carter cosplayers. Yay! 3. Disney Movie Club finally got me. After years of…

Sorry
Sorry to anybody digging through my blog lately. For one thing, I know it’s a mess because I haven’t kept up with tags. Secondly, I must seem like a crazy person with my crazy happy Disney posts followed by my crazy sad Indy posts. That’s just my life right now. I’ve gone through and hidden a lot of my sad…

Christmas
So yeah…. with that, Christmas was kind of an unhappy blur. She did get to spend Christmas with us – she got to go everywhere and see everybody and get lots of kisses from the whole family, so that was a blessing in the midst of everything. But, to attempt to focus on more happy stuff…. I got some really…

Indy
I wrote a nice memorial post for Calvin when he passed last year. I can’t do the same for Indy. There aren’t the words. We said goodbye yesterday. She was my baby and a part of me is gone forever. She lived to be 18 years old. She got me through the worst of high school, through college, through 3…

Doctor Who… the hell cares?
(title taken from a MST3k riff and totally not meant to be dismissive.) I’m disenchanted with Doctor Who. When I first started watching, Series 5 with Matt Smith had JUST started. It took us a while to catch up to Series 5, but when we got there I was all excited by the prospect of a new doctor, a new…

Windburn
I had a nice holiday weekend. Thanksgiving itself was kinda crazy – we had TWO Thanksgiving lunches to go to that day, one at 11 and one at 1. So much foooood. Friday Luna went to the vet and got fixed! While waiting to pick her up, we went to see Big Hero 6 which was cute. I especially liked…

Things I don’t understand
In today’s issue of things I don’t understand… Who decided that radio station DJs should spend morning rush hour talking, calling people and sharing their inane opinions? Just play some damn music and keep your thoughts about the latest internet memes or “goofy news” to yourself.

Halloween and Costume Commissions
Hi everyone, For those of you coming across my site in search of Halloween costumes to purchase or for help on Halloween costumes, this post is just a gentle reminder that I do not sell my costumes, and I am not open to take commissions for custom costumes at this time (and, due to my relatively new job, I am…

Sims 4 Thoughts
So I said I wasn’t going to buy it. But then I bought it. I had read about how “downgraded” Sims 4 was going to be – and still being very much into the Sims 3, I figured, why waste my time? It actually kinda sounded awful. But then I read a review that said that yes, the world is…

Weird
So Friday I went and got my haircut, and he also cleaned up my Donna wig for me, and forbade me from every putting scissors to a wig again, LOL. I had to go home a funky way, because of awful construction mess on the freeway. It was rush hour and even my back way was slow going, probably took…

what
Just had a moment at work where I was trying to remember what year it was. 2014? That can’t be right. It can’t be 2014. Oh my God, it’s 2014.

wah
I had a teacher back in high school who never really cared for me. I was a lazy student and not very good at his subject (Spanish), so I didn’t mind the disdain – it was, at that point, pretty well-deserved. However, my senior year, he decided our Spanish class should attend this Spanish Fair. It was like a regional…

The Case of the Missing Lip Stain
So last summer, I got some of Revlon’s “Just Bitten” lipstain. The commercials claimed it to be “long lasting” which is something I need when wearing costumes all day long. I LOVED it! I liked it for wearing outside of costumes, too! For costumes, it was easier to put on than regular lipstick for me (I think because it’s like…

Hercules
My fav aspect of Disney’s Hercules has always been the character design. Here’s a great link of Gerald Scarfe’s awesome concept character designs for the movie.

The Saga of the Running Shorts
So I recently started Couch to 5K and, as the weather quickly got warmer, I went pull out some of my exercise shorts to wear instead of the track pants I’d been wearing. Turns out none of the shorts I have have pockets! Totally not useful since I need to be able to carry my keys, phone, etc. So off…

Kindle
So year before last, the whole family went in together and got my grandma a Kindle. She reads a TON, and ends up with a giant stack of books she gives away or donates every month. So we all thought she’d really like a Kindle – we could set up wifi for her, and she could buy and read books…

The Red Folder
I’ve had this red leather folder I use for travel. I think my aunt gave it to me before I left for Dragoncon 2003 – or SDCC 2004? I know it was one of the two. Since then, I’ve used it for every major trip I’ve taken. Everytime I go to put stuff in it it’s always got the last…

Random musings
Why is Star Wars costuming so over-sexualized? I’ve noticed it for a while, but tumblr really brought it to my attention recently. So over there on tumblr, I have a handful of tracked tags. I don’t look at them all that often, just if I’m really super bored, usually. Some of the ones I have are: “doctor who cosplay” “lord…

I have 2 modes
I have 2 modes: 1. DragonCon mode 2. DisneyWorld mode I am one or the other at any given point. Obviously before DragonCon I’m in DragonCon mode. And right before our Disney trip (like now) I’m in Disney mode. Whichever one I’m in, it’s all I can think about it and I know people get tired of hearing me talk…
