Heart of an Empire premiere
This weekend was an odd mix; not sure I enjoyed the trip, but all in all I’m glad I went, since the movie was good. We set out Friday as soon as Chase got home from work — after several stops (gas, dinner, snacks, stretching legs, changing drivers, etc — you’d think it was a 9 hour drive the way…

when i couldn’t find my costume stuff
My day of working at home has turned into “Day of Looking for Stuff.” First I had to find all my Susan stuff. I haven’t worn it since 2003, so it was spread out all over. The corset and skirt were together, at least. One boot was where it was supposed to be – the other was hiding. One of…

Since I did the Wonderfest post over at my other journal, I’ll do the COSI one here! A strange crew on the falcon… Friday! Ash and I left Chase’s apt and took a cab to the airport.

when I couldn’t work because it was too hot
It is freaking hot. Our air conditioner has been out since thursday. The highs have been around, oh, 97, and that doesn’t include the heat index, which I don’t even want to think about. At first it was ok… and it was nice at night… but now it’s just UGH. I got up this morning and I’m just sticky all…

Dad needs to be Qui-Gon
I think that in my off time in between MTAC and Comic Con (which is to say, in between April and July), I’m going to make my dad a Qui-Gon Jinn costume. He rented a jedi costume back for Halloween 2000 and made a good Qui-Gon, so I know he wouldn’t mind doing it again. That way whenever I need…
