Early pre-registration for Nebraskon ends today, so if you have any interest in hitting that con this year, today's the last day to get the cheapest price. It's now in Omaha instead of Lincoln, so yay ( Read more... )

Tomorrow starts Anime Nebraskon in Lincoln. I'm a bit nervous, its the first anime con that I'll be going alone. So scary! (I'm more worried about finding my way back out of Lincoln than anything else... I seem to recall the signage for the interstate pretty sneaky and that I miss it ( Read more... )

I spent almost 9 hours cleaning the apartment today. Kris has it easy, with what is left. I owe my mom big time for helping me out. She spent like 3 hours cleaning the bathroom while I tackled the kitchen. I'd like to say I learned my lesson, and next time I'm out on my own, I'll keep better care in cleaning all the stuff... but I'm a slacker. (At ( Read more... )

I'm glad election day is finally over. It was getting really irritating to sit through all these political commercials. Seriously? Do you need three commercials in a row bashing the other guy? Three?? Seems like that money could have been spent a little better. I couldn't tell you a single positive thing about the local guys running for their ( Read more... )

The staff meeting for Otaku Omaha was pretty informative. I really can't wait until things start moving. I have a lot of hopes that it will be a good year for the convention. I was really nervous about going to the meeting... but I recognized half of them from the con and the Cosplay on the Market, so I was able to relax. Being located at the Mid ( Read more... )

If you have any interest in Nebraskon, the earliest pre-reg deadline is this Sunday (Aug 31st). I just finished writing out my check... I figure even if I go for only one day, the $25 3-day preregistration price is still cheaper than the 1-day price at door ( Read more... )

I finally received my credit report in the mail. I almost wondered if the guy at the bank was just trying to get some sort of commission off having me sign up for their credit watching system. There is one fairly large item that I have no clue what it is... some sort of closed account... but other than that nothing to be truly scared of (and the ( Read more... )

Lydia came by last night and threaded my serger for me. I need to remember to take some pictures of it and seriously study it so that when she's not available, I can fix it myself. She also made some cute hems on my Steampunk pants while I worked on the blouse. I was a serging fool and I really can appreciate what it does to garments (and I still ( Read more... )

Wow, so I've had the worst luck with fabric as of late. I was finally bought on the idea of making my steampunk jacket out of the gray moleskin I had originally bought for the bustle (since I couldn't find a material I liked). I had around 2 1/4 yards of the fabric, so I hit JoAnns to pick up a couple more yards. I brought the gray moleskin home ( Read more... )
