Looks like this title is MIA. D:
Aug. 17th, 2009 01:35 amI know, just what you want to see - another update from me when I claim to have a million things to do (except I really do...) Today was pretty interesting, though, and apparently I feel the need to chronicle it or something. XD;
I ran a whole bunch of errands, though just before leaving I discovered my air conditioner is leaking into my closet again. That hasn't happened in a few years, but is certainly annoying and required the moving around of many items which are now sitting in my already-cramped hallway. I guess I'll just have to report it tomorrow and hope they do something about it sooner rather than later. And give Scott the heads-up.
I went shorts-hunting for Lewis and Penny; apparently I've missed shorts season and all the pants are out now, great. I think I may have to do some Old Navy online hunting, because I'd really rather not make Lewis' shorts if I don't have to. That's just one more thing I totally don't have time to do. Anyway, I got a bunch of random stuff I probably don't need, but at least I got the rest of the stuff I need for the Anakin costume; they didn't have the exact stuff I wanted, but there was something close enough and I had a 40% off coupon, which really helped~ Now to get to work on that! I think it'll be coming to Boston with me, along with the Ahsoka boots and the Star Trek uniform... I'm totally going to have to check a bag with all the sewing supplies I want to bring. I don't think you can carry on glue guns and pins and needles... XD
I also stopped at the grocery store and picked up like a ton of slightly-ripe bananas for fifty cents... the guy working in produce really wanted to get rid of them, and for fifty cents I'm sure I'll eat at least my money's worth. XD I guess I won't be missing Brazil overly much at least food-wise, even if bananas do taste different down there. (Especially in pizza form. XD)
Anyway, I picked up Transformers at Wal-Mart while I was there for $13 because, um, why not. I also picked up The Red Badge of Courage for $5, because come on, how could it be bad for $5? I love that book~ Not as much as All Quiet on the Western Front - which I probably would also have gotten for $5 except it was the color remake, and that's no fun. I want the original black-and-white 1930's version. One day I swear I will get it!
I didn't get to work on Ahsoka's headtails much today - just a little, trying to form them better to my head so I can get the real work done tomorrow. I also started making bootcover patterns, but I didn't get too far. I did at least try out the makeup I got, which gave mixed results: creme makeup will work just fine, I think, but the shades I got aren't quite right. So then I spent about an hour searching online for the right shade that was recommended to me, so here's hoping that'll work on my stupidly weird-colored skin. >>;
So anyway, I ate dinner and watched Transformers somewhere in there. It, uh, made so much more sense the second time around (which is sad - I only saw it for the first time less than a month ago XD). I think it also helped that I have read chapters and chapters of that awesome fic, though it did not help in the respect that I kept shipping Sam and Bee and can I just OT3 them with Mikaela? I think that works, right? XD Mikaela is actually pretty damn cool. Sam just kind of wibbles and babbles and she's all, "I'm gonna do this, help me." Then again, we already knew that. It must be why I like Sam so much - failtastic FTW~ (Though I think that's an oxymoron...) Now I want to see the second one again. :x Guess I'll have to wait for DVD, though.
Okay, that's enough. Oh God, I feel like it's just been one big long day since Saturday, which it kind of has. I really need to go to bed now. XD Goodnight everyone! <3
