paint, glue, repeat.
My hobby involves getting up early and painting craft foam with paint or glue before work and then more when I get home from work. I spend most of the hours in between picking glue or paint out from my fingernails.
I think the costumes are going well, but I'm stressing out about finishing in time. My parents arrive tomorrow and we're going on a trip for a week, and that's a week less to work.
Because of the nature of my new job, I'll likely be making the rest of my posts locked from now on, as one can never be too sure who's reading. (I mean, aside from R, who kindly lets me know.) So if you are someone who is not a LJ user, I'm afraid you won't be able to read them.

I've been reading a bunch of books lately--especially audio books, in the last week or two, because of costuming. I can listen and still work. Anyway, the book I started tonight takes place in a small town on the shores of Lake Erie, so I keep getting distracted by the geography of it. Especially since football is a major element (football is a very big deal in my town. We go to the state championships a lot). I keep thinking about the description of the Lake, and is he describing it correctly? Like, describing it as water that is always cold. But it's not. Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes; it gets up to the upper 70s, especially if it is a hot summer. It is slow to warm, yes, but it holds that heat long into autumn and keeps the coastal towns warmer than they'd otherwise be.
