I am THIS Nerdy.
Spent the first part of my day sewing the outer tunic for my new Jedi robes. Almost done. Just need to hem and attach sleeves. After that, I just have to make the hooded cloak. That will take me about an hour.
Wonder NW is next weekend. It's a local small-scale geek conference. Last year I regretted not going in costume. Won't happen this year.
While I pinned and sewed, I watched Thor.
I went out for lunch, but my favorite vegan place was too crowed, so it was across the street to my McMenamin's for a veggie burger and a mocha milkshake. Even though I'm in there all the time by myself, the server seemed thrown that I was eating alone. I side-eyed him a bit, and he fled. I read an old volume of "Powers" while I ate.
After lunch, I went home to check my mail. There I found my new Star Fleet Sciences pin. It's awesome, though a bit too small to serve as the badge on my uniform. I'll attach it to my con lanyard or my tricorder bag instead. That idea led me to spend some time laying out the design for my tricorder bag. It'll be a bit rough, but it's my first bag. I hope I have enough silver for the details.
Then I went to Avengers again. It remains awesome. Good crowd, too, laughing in the right places, quiet when they ought to be.
Back at home, I decided to experiment with my hair some. I rarely wear it up, but I'll really need to for my Star Fleet uniform. After mindlessly fiddling with it for a while, I found something I liked...and realized that it's Princess Leia's hair do from her time on Bespin. Huh. I may still wear it, and I'd be curious to see if anyone called me on mixing my scifi classics.
For the rest of the evening, I plan to do some laundry, sew my Jedi robe hems, and maybe cut the fabric for my bag.
Maybe I'll watch Captain America while I'm at it.
