All Day Long I Sit Here Thinking of You
I've been listening to All Day Long by Keith Harkin all day long...or rather, all DAYS long because I started on saturday and I haven't stopped. I love Keith Harkin. Like, actually.
Last night I actually read some Celtic Thunder fanfiction which was fairly enjoyable. They were a swat team that went after people who plagiarised fanfics. I can't believe how lame I am.
Ok, I totally didn't mean to make this post about Keith Harkin/Celtic Thunder. Totally.
The weather here got super warm suddenly, and it seems like it's only gonna keep getting warmer. Wednesday is supposed to be 27 degrees (celsius) which is warmer than a lot of summer days usually are. On friday I went with my baguette for a walk/hike/exploration in the woods/around the creek. I'd never been to that particular part of the woods, so it was awesome to explore so much. There was a sort of canal that branched off from the main creek and cut through the forest to loop around again and come out farther downstream. But the water level wasn't high enough upstream, so the landlocked parts of it were really stagnant and full of algae.
It's such nice cosplay weather! And Anime North is so soon. I did a fair amount on my costume today, I think. Starting on tuesday, I began bleaching a pair of dark blue jeans, hoping to get them white so that I could dye them yellow to match my Jolteon vest. They ended up bleaching a pastel yellow, which is pretty cool, though I'm still gonna dye them to match.
The hem on my vest is really weird, but I don't think I care enough about it right now to fix it. It's because I cut the middle back piece shorter than all the rest (somehow) and so I had to switch from one length of hem to another. If that makes sense.
I made my Xweetok ears on wednesday, but I don't think I'm satisfied with them, so I might have to change the design. So far they're on a headband and go over my ears, but my ears make them stick out strangely. I might make a design that's not 2-D so my ears can slip inside of them...but I'm not sure how to manage that.
I'm also trying to cut a sword out of a foam placemat, but I'm not sure I like the texture of the foam after all. Guess I won't know until I have it completely cut out.
I saw my cat a while ago sitting on the edge of the pool and stalking some birds. I told her not to fall in and she looked at me like "as if!". But she fell in last year, so you'd think she'd learn her lesson.
