blame the American Health Care system. Ted's knee has been giving him a lot of pain/trouble lately (a lot even considering it took a lot of damage back in high school and college) so my mom was taking him to the doctors and we all knew he was going to need an MRI, the question now if/what kind of surgery he needs now. But, since this is the US and ( Read more... )

Feel like I spend all my days watching videos even thought it's not true, Like, today I re-did the trim on Shiki's shirt (yes, a cosplay I never finished and only wore parts of it two times or so, I'm just that finicky) with my back in commission sewing machine today. Haven't used it in about a month so I freaked out thinking I was missing a thread ( Read more... )

Got back Sunday half dead and I will get a con report up this year, promise! It'll even include precon and my Joe Biden fairy dream (I'm actually PROUD of how strange that one way). Animazement was amazing this year and by this point I have stopped feeling jealous of people on the internet who seem to have amazing groups of people to hang out with ( Read more... )

Between how much time my mom's classes take up and the fact that she's going to be busy Tuesday and Wednesday anyway there's just not enough time to take me out to job hunt. Little worried since I want to keep moving and I'm hoping it won't hurt in the long run. Better start hunting again the Tuesday after memorial day ( Read more... )

Whew, almost done with everything for AZ! Sure I still need to hem Echo, make her blades, trim/style Kim's wig, have about 20 more eyelets to sew for Kim, make Christie's hair thingies, and then give everything a final try on BUT really that's not much. Oh and hair thingees for Echo as well, but the point is that I can get all of that done in two ( Read more... )

Had a bit of new software on firefox issue (it blocked all flash/java and it turns out that all the sights I go to have flash/java in them, including here, so whenever I turned it on the screen would re-load and that erased an entry here). So, not much happening in the past few days. I actually finished up job hunting at the local mall on Wednesday ( Read more... )

First off, it's Sam's birthday so happy you-can-now-see-R-rated-movies day! Although he wasn't thrilled when I pointed out he was only one year away from being able to buy cigs, porn, and lottery tickets (come on, lottery tickets are awesome!). And I had to miss part of his birthday dinner since Anthropolgie has open interviews every Tuesday ( ( Read more... )

Crud. This is a new one actually, my brother's birthday snuck up on my mom, not sure what it did to my dad, and I've been out-of-touch for so long that I wasn't able to plan ahead and haven't had any good ideas since I got home. Maybe a little sketch book and some real inking pens? Sam's a little unusal in his art, he draws buildings and ships ( Read more... )

Seriously, I could write an entire blog post on my shirt woes so I'll try to keep it short. There is something intrinsically with peasant shirt patterns. I had so much trouble making this shirt (for the DramaCon cosplay) so that the armpits weren't cutting into me, gah, it eventually ended up involving a complex little bit of insert fabric and four ( Read more... )

Sent out a few more applications today and I'll keep doing a few more each day. Gah, I prefer the online ones since I don't have to go to the stores but they take flippin' forever each way. But I am keeping this in mind for next year so I can remember to start even earlier. Gaahhhh, why don't I know people with connections (well, my dad did have ( Read more... )
