Yesterday pretty much put me in freak out mode. I went to the dentist and he's really pushing to remove my wisdom teeth. Why? Not because they're doing anything right now, but because they might cause damage in the future (and "three people had to have root canals this past week because their wisdom teeth caused decay with the tooth in front of it ( Read more... )

Lesson learned, you take a gamble that something is going to be the right color when the ebay description is kinda murky, you get burned. (Why didn't I just email the seller ahead of time? Because that would have made sense!) I had ordered a motorcycle visor to use on the Bubblegum Crisis hard suit I'm working on and apparently mirrored/chrome ( Read more... )

I so can't wait for Otakon. I'm dieing for a trip/vacation. It will be disturbing and amusing to see how much work dumbass Doug won't be able to do while I'm away. I'm going to make sure I back up all our files just in case he does something incredibly stupid like throw everything away (he threw away every single file he worked on last time, so I ( Read more... )

Well, this weekend sent my stress levels flying. I've never been great with handling more than a single bad thing at a time, so when Friday's car surprise started the weekend, it all went down hill from there ( Read more... )

Work has been keeping me busy. Friday and Monday were days in which I felt like I was drowning in work and would never catch up. Fortunately, today was a lot quieter and I actually got something done that had been waiting a week for me to do ( Read more... )

I figured I'd share some of my costume work (mostly for Lydia, since she can't see them in person ( Read more... )

I don't remember the costume I was running around in that I was going to wear for the contest, but I remember that one of the two I'd brought with me was a Queen of Hearts inspired costume. (I say inspired because it was lacking in the ( Read more... )

My weekend was very quiet. Sarah came over Friday night to give me a birthday gift. She got me a really cute frame and placed a picture of me, her and her sister from her wedding. The frame and the picture go really well together. Someday, I'll get a move on with my collage of framed pictures on a wall. (My collection of pictures is really small, ( Read more... )

Ugh. I've had that Little Mermaid song stuck in my head all morning. Even RBF's cover of Hungry Like the Wolf couldn't make the song go away. On a slightly related note... I'm sort of curious to try hunting down the actual story of The Little Mermaid. I know how the story goes in the movie we used to have on tape. She turns to sea foam and all that ( Read more... )

It's getting closer to time. I ran into an issue with applying snaps to my hip armor that hopefully I can find a solution for tonight. (I have the wrong tool and although it worked for applying the front pieces, its crushing the nubs for the other half. Ugh ( Read more... )
