Craziness & Random Pictures
Jul. 24th, 2004 08:58 pmSo... Been a crazy - but fun - weekend. I've been hanging out with Jen and Brandon mostly, but also getting some stuff done here. I moved my bed against the other wall and stashed the appropriate posters under it until after this whole trip is over. ^^; I even vacuumed, since the vacuum itself has to go back to Jen by the end of the weekend because 1) it's hers and 2) I promised to clean her floor because of the mess we've made sewing and paper mache-ing. Speaking of, the Loki staff and the kwan dao are both totally mache'd now and waiting to dry, and because I'm such a geek I took some pix in case anyone's interested in how they look so far:
Loki's staff
Ren's kwan dao
We also started on the hair - first I sewed the extension we bought to the back of Jen's old Dark wig (which turned me PURPLE when I washed it o.O) and then we hung it upside-down and painted it with fabric stiffener and let it dry. Now it's shaped like Ren's pointy stabbity hair of death! It still needs cutting, but the preliminary results are as follows:
Ren wig: front
Ren wig: back
W00t! Tonight/tomorrow we sand, glaze, and paint the weapons and finish shaping and cutting Ren's hair. I... think this will get done before I leave. ::crosses fingers::
Oh, and for pure random otaku-ness:
Atobe got killed by the Inui Juice!
Yes, we are nerds/geeks/hopeless.
Anyway, hanging out last night yielded lots of random fun, mostly because we were all really tired and crazy-like. There was an interesting incident involving a container of KFC honey barbeque sauce, but all parties involved shall remain nameless or I might die. ^^; Needless to say, the ability of said barbeque sauce to defy gravity is really quite impressive. XD There was also much chocolate, some homemade donuts, and lots of fun anime music.
That's about it for my random update; I'm really exhausted but I don't think I can sleep. Besides, when Jen and Brandon wake up I guess it'll be time to go back and work on more stuff...
