    My new Serger! And Qui-Gon updates

    As of yesterday morning I became the proud mom of my very own serger 🙂 I’m so excited! I can’t wait to start learning to use it. I have an appointment for weekend after next, the lady at the store is going to show me the basics. I saw Phantom of the Opera last night. Before I left the house,…

    when there was a mouse in the house

    OMG There was just a mouse in the house!!! We’ve never had a mouse in the house before… Hobbes was trying to get something behind my suitcase in the hallway, and I thought one of his toys was back there. So I moved the suitcase to get it out and something comes flying out and hits my knee! Then it…

    when livejournal was down

    Remember how I posted about that church with the sign, and I was trying to describe the kind of things they put on there? I used “Seven days without prayer makes one weak” as an my example… Guess what their sign says this week? Weeeeird. Are they like, stalking me? LJ is down which kinda cancels the post I was…

    when a church said ….. !

    I pass this church everyday, and their sign out front always has some silly pun on it (like, “Seven days without prayer makes one weak.”) Yesterday, all it said was this:          …..                  ! The next day it was something different, but I really liked that one.

    when i was sick during a wintery mix

    I have been throwing up all afternoon. I don’t know why… it sucks, I can’t keep anything down. Other than that I feel fine. I ate some reese’s about 30 minutes ago and I thought maybe it was going to be ok, but now I feel icky again. 🙁 I don’t have anything I can take for it, either, so…

    when i was playing ff7 again

    Ash – this book is so good! Haha, the first chapter with Burnham on the boat was like a minature review of my Architecture class with the names! Do you mind if I keep it until the start of next semester, so I can show it to my teacher? I got some shopping done today. I finished mom, got rachel,…

    Shadowcon

    I’m trying to figure out what I want to wear to Shadowcon. Heres the things I thought of: Anna – the only problem I’d have with this is curling my hair, and it would be cold. Arwen Wedding – it’s such a pain to wear, and the fabric on the sleeves is pulling apart – if I wear it again…

    Thinking

    Semester before last in my Faust class, I did some costume designs for the three major characters in part one (Faust, Mephistopheles, and Gretchen), because I thought maybe I could make one of them as my final project (but I didn’t have time). I think I may work some more on one, probably either Meph’s or Gretchen’s (most likely Meph’s),…

    when i was played by lisa kudrow

    I just splurged and bought myself a Christmas present. Nothing major, just two of the nice, hard cover, Books of Wonder editions of two of the Oz books. I’ve been wanting all of them for ages but I never buy them cause I’ve already got (or had) paperback editions of all of them, and the hardback Books of Wonder are…
