old
This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

when i had a matrix cap
I’ve had this line from this one MST3K short stuck in my head all morning. “You-will-dance-WITH-ME-EVA!!” Dad brought home this Matrix Reloaded cap. It’s cool. I’ve been wearing it all morning. I’m hungry!

when i got my tiara
In Lit class we watched The Ruling Class, which was great. Maybe the best movie I’ve ever watched for a class. I want to rent it so I can watch it again. Buuuuut best thing, I got my Arwen tiara!!! It’s soooooooooooooo pretty!!!! I wanted to wear it all day but our big boss is in town in our office…

Ooooooooh now I wished I’d watched the Victoria Secret show thinger last night. look at some of these wings… oooooh I want! Those giant angel wings!!!! eeeee!! Uh… what else. Uh… my room is so clean it’s so great. I cleaned out from under my bed and my closet is all clean, it’s so nice. I think I already talked…

when i booked plane tickets
I got my plane tickets for Katsucon last night. They are kinda sucky and were expensive, but they were the only ones with the times I wanted. Flying out of Memphis at 7:50 PM Thursday night, plane change in Atlanta, arrive in DC in what is technically Friday morning 😉 12:35! But otherwise mom would have had to leave school…

when i read the pern novels
Dad fixed the light in my closet last night, so I can finally clean it out. With no light in there for AGES it’s gotten to be a royal mess. I got started on it last night but didn’t finish. As a result my room looks like a bomb hit it. I just recently finished reading all of Anne McCaffrey’s…

when i refused to sit in the back
Oh! Things I forgot to mention. One of the jackets they were using in the play last night started to rip in the first act. It just kept getting bigger and bigger, straight down the back. They pinned it for the second act, and sent it home with us to repair it for today’s performance. I’ve been wearing it all…

when i did yet another play poster
On the Razzle was GREAT. I laughed til I cried. It was SO FUNNY. David was the best. He is so funny! Sold a good number of posters, enough to pay for my Katsucon plane tickets. If I can sell a few more today maybe I can make the hotel, too. At the end I mention comparing May the Farce…

when i got $60
When I was 6 or 7, I got $60 for my birthday. I’d never gotten much money for my birthday before, but for some reason that year a couple of people gave me money, and all together it came to exactly $60. I was so amazed, I’d never had so much money at one time before. Mom took me to…

when i was artist of the day
wtf? Why am I Side 7 artist of the day again? I was already it once I thought I couldn’t be again. That’s weird… and nice to wake up to 🙂 Dad got Photoshop 8, Illustrator… 11, I think, and a new Adobe program called… I think it was In Design? He’s been raving about it. I don’t think they…

when i made a costume closet
My little project yesterday was turning the old store room into my new costume closet! (missing photo) Yay! I have all kinds of space in my room now, it’s so great! I organized everything… all the things that could be hung are hanging on the new bar dad and I installed. All the accessories and things are in the 3…

when i needed a con fix
Saw Matrix 3 last night – it was ok. I guess my main problem was that I had been spoiled on the entire thing a couple of months ago. I need a convention fix! The only one anytime soon is numa rei no con in december and I still haven’t found anybody to go with me. I have a project…

when i hunted for sdcc hotels
This morning had to go work at my cousin’s “Walk for a Wish” 5K. Mom and this other girl were at one place keeping cars from coming in, and dad and I were in another doing the same thing. But dad and I had the car, we just sat in it and would get out only if a car came…

when i lost my cds
Hmm. The past few months I have really ignored my blog, there’s so much that went on that I normally write about but just haven’t. The big thing I don’t think I ever write about was I lost over half of my CDs a couple of months ago (right before Dragoncon) – they were on the back of the car…

when i drew a stupid comic
I posted it at the LJ already but here it is here… It’s not SunDowner 7, but gosh darn it was fun to draw.

when trinity said shucks
Caught a bit of The Matrix on TBS or TNT one last night. Was amused by the station’s redubbing of “offensive” lines instead of just bleeping it out. Neo gets caught by agents; Trinity’s response is now “Shucks!” I mean, replying “shucks” doesn’t really convey the danger of the situation. Shucks is what you say when you drop a piece…

when i didnt have anything to do for halloween
This has been a weird week, not really because sucky things have happened, but mostly because I’ve been in a weird frame of mind. But anyway, Cath and I were talking about how much Halloween has changed just since we were kids. When we were kids, we were allowed to roam the neighborhood by ourselves. We set out when it…

when i didn’t care about socks
I don’t see the necessity of wearing matching socks. Especially in winter. Nobody sees my socks except me, so who cares if I’m wearing one gryffindor sock and one spiderman sock? Nobody, that’s who!

when i had halloween plans
Things I am working on right now: -continuation of class project (ie – the Amidala and Qui Gon art from recently) -SunDowner 7, of course -idiotic comic project for no good reason -Redrawing a couple of old pics I had done for gifts that are now out of date -Scanning sketchbook stuff (I have a LOT of sketches. I just…
