    when cath’s car needed a jump

    I love The Producers. Just in case I hadn’t mentioned it before. This morning I was sitting in the kitchen (dressed in my pajamas, my houserobe, AND my poncho. I was cold.) when my cell phone rang. It was Cath, asking where I was. I told her I was at home. She asked when I was going in to the…

    Paris day 1

    So, our flight left at 5:30. We had checked in online, which apparently threw everyone else in our group off. (we had been registered through a travel agency, and apparently if us three hadn’t checked in online the night before, they would have been able to check in the whole group at once there at the airport or something. I…

    when the lights were out

    This morning the power went out. I got up around 7:30 and was on the computer and watching TV when it went off (what was I doing up at 7:30 AM, you ask? Ever since I got back from Paris my sleep schedule has been way off. I keep going to bed really early and getting up really early. blegh!).…

    when kevin was watching for the orange truck

    I’m off to church today. just to see my grandparents really. Afterwards I’m going to go over to their house and show them my Paris pictures. Anyone who has WinXP or XP Pro, do you know how to get rid of icons in the system tray? Namely the ones for Wireless Connection. I can’t get them to go away! I…

    when we took some arwen pics

    Saw Starsky and Hutch yesterday. It was cute. Took pics of my Arwen wedding dress yesterday! I posted a bigger set over at my cosplay journal. I need to be working on my cousin’s Link costume. I started on my Faust work yesterday… did some sketches for it. Unfortunately I have no scanner at the moment, so… yeah.

    when i watched an 80s version of faust

    We watched this video in class today. It was called Damnation of Faust, apparently it went along with an installation in a museum? I’m not sure. It was basically 15 minutes of kids in a playground. It was made in 1983, and it has all video effects that were hot that year, along with a soundtrack courtesy a Casio. I…

    Battle Padme updates

    I finished the basic top for Padme last night. I need to attach the sleeve, do the rips on the back and make the hem look a little more ragged. For the pants, I still need to add the elastic to the top. (cause otherwise they won’t stay up) I need to make my boot covers, and alter my belt,…

    AoA Shadowcat wig

    I lucked into finding a great wig for it a couple of weeks ago. I finished the pants for Padme last night, but the fabric ended up being a LOT thinner than it originally looked like it was going to be. I’m going to have to make a second pair to wear underneath them.

    when i went to paris and london

    I’m home! Ok so I’ve been home all weekend, but I came home sick and jet lagged so I’ve been sleeping 😀 I’ll go through the whole trip later, when I’m on the other computer where it’s easier to type. I’m going to start downloading my pics tonight, too. I took around 600! The quick story, though: Paris was fun.…

    Dude I have really messed around getting ready for MTAC. I messed up on my pre-reg, I messed up on getting an art table, and now I’m not going to have a new costume. 😛 I’m hardly going to have time to finish Padme for MidSouthCon weekend after next, and I forgot I have to finish my cousin’s Link costume…

    bonjour from paris!

    I’m here in a little internet cafe in Paris! I’ve only got a few minutes so I have to be fast. We’ve been to Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and the Orsay Museum. I woke up feeling woozy this morning so I stayed at the hotel all day asleep, while Kristie and Ash went to Sacred Heart and…

    when some guy said hey girl to me

    Ok guys. I’m leaving tomorrow. I’ll be back next friday (the 12th) I doubt I’ll have internet access anytime while I’m over there – can’t even check my mail on my phone! I’ll take lots of pics with my new camera, of course. Kinda sad I’ll be missing seeing Starsky and Hutch and Hidalgo this weekend. I wanted to see…

    when i decided to go to akon

    Man, who is not thinking here? I found cheapass tickets for Akon, so I’m going this year even after I said I wasn’t. But they were sooooo cheap! Anyway – I made my reservations and everything before checking, and turns out it’s the same weekend as HP 3 opening 🙁 So I’m going to be at the stinky con instead…
