Okay, well maybe not that adventurous really, but I did make a start on my costume prep. Set to go as a Sandman, as per the eponymous lead of Logan's Run for my big b-day next month. Now, you'd think this would be simple enough, it's not exactly a wild outfit . . .
Well, I have a black top, some grey fabric and the means (hopefully) to attach the two, so that's a start. I also have some handy liquid latex to get my lifeclock attached, when I can find something costume-jewellery-esque to serve the place. Getting a decent gunbelt and cheapo raygun though? Noooooo, not for the Vidiian. Grr, damn you Woolworths and you're not existing anymore. I suspect I may have to go trawling cheapo markets and toy stores until I can find something suitably cheesy-70s zappy-ness. Well, I may wait and get something suitable Edinburgh-wards, I suspect there may be a better selection there.
Other than that, the weekend was sunny but fairly uneventful. Haven't spent enough time out to start doing a lobster impression, like some people. Did spend some more time out lazing in the Cathedral grounds and snaffling iced lollies while listening to free choir though. Hardly a total loss. Getting back on top of my cardio workout again, thank goodness, I hate slipping there. Gonna try and move the weights up a spot come next session, I think. Lack of noodly arms post pumping means it's that time again.
Definitely need to make it out for some more drinks at some point, slacking around the house is only fun for so long, even if it does involve Dollhouse drooling. Mmmmm, Eliza. I'll be damned if I'm going to go all through this weather and not get another BBQ too. May check weather when I get up north again and nab Hugh to do some entertaining again.
