    Comic Con 2005 Pics!

    I’m still in San Diego – our flight is at 12:30 today… we’re already packed so we’re just hanging out in the hotel room. I do NOT feel good… I woke up this morning with my eyes and throat hurting – this is what Ash and I call the “Famiglia.” Don’t ask. Now I get to look forward to travelling…

    Hi from San Diego

    We’re in San Diego! Things got off to a bumpy start, with a 6AM flight out of Memphis with an angry ticket agent and a 30 minute delay due to a malfunction. We were freaking because we only had 50 minutes of overlay time in Minneapolis – but we made it there on time, made our San Diego flight and…

    On my way

    I shipped my boxes out yesterday – five all together!! Ugh, I don’t want to think about the cost. One was the big, big one that fits my Amidala Parade parasol – I also fit the cloak in there, as well as Ozma, for extra padding for the parasol. Two of them were 16x16s with most of my other stuff…

    when we saw bob and willie

    Sitting here watching The Neverending Story. Yay! We went to see Bob Dylan & Willie Nelson last night. Willie Nelson was great, I really enjoyed his show. Bob Dylan… I like Bob Dylan, but damn… he was more mumbly than usual, couldn’t understand a thing he said.

    I finished my Arwen dress! Ok, haha, so maybe not. But I did get the new fabric! Thanks so much to padawansguide for pointing me to syfabrics.com! I’ve still got to take the black fabric back (not a problem, they know me there), and send back the white fabric. I also finally bought my trim… should be arriving soon. I…

    when i had a deer friend

    My deer friend! Out here in the country, deer aren’t unusual, but we usually only see them at night/early evening. Just now, I was out on my bike when I noticed something in the front yard. At first I thought it was a person, but I turned and looked, and it was a young deer. It was just standing there…

To update my list… Clone Trooper Battle Droid…

    A-Kon 2005 Pics & SDCC Plans!

    First off – I actually won the Amidala Look a Like Contest at Cosplaylab. I couldn’t believe it, there were so many good entries, and people I knew – I was hoping to get maybe honorable mention, but – yay! It made my weekend.

    Hello from A-Kon

    My rebel bird tattoo. It’s mostly healed. I’m really proud of myself for getting it done, I had wanted one for years and years but was always too scared. 🙂 A-kon is OK – I’m mostly here for my cousin, we’re just doing whatever he wants to do. So if anybody sees me, I’ll just be wandering… 😛
