I think I passed a shop-shaped blur.

ad_exiaDarths & Droids today was hilarious. XD I love this comic~
This weekend has been full of weird dreams. D: I mean, Friday night I dreamed that I murdered a whole bunch of people with a kitchen knife because someone was controlling them and making them try to kill me, and then yesterday I dreamed that I was dating Sylar and I was totally okay with killing people for him but then I eventually left him for Troy Bolton and wanted him to sing music from Spectacular! and I HAVE NO IDEA. D: (Although, now that I think about it, I could probably attribute all of these things to Let the Right One In, if I tried really hard? I mean, the thing with the kitchen knife and the killing people for people, but still. I don't like dreams where I kill people. ;_;)
So I actually got up this morning at a reasonable hour so I could drop Scott off to pick up his rental car, since he leaves uber-early tomorrow morning. Then I came back and watched Ben 10 (Kevin showed up! Oh, tiny!Kevin, you are so cute and such a jerk at the same time. I suppose... nothing changes. XD Well, except that when you grow up you are thankfully no longer inclined to kill trainloads full of people for cash.)
Then I went to look for fabric for Drew (apparently that's how it's spelled, who knew?) because I realized stretchy orange fabric was going to be really hard to find so if I had to order it I should do so sooner rather than later. I scoured the store with no luck, but then on a whim decided to take a second pass at the discount/red tag/upholstry fabrics, and lo! I totally found exactly what I needed! Orange lycra stretch fabric, $4.00 a yard! There was a little less than two yards left on the bolt, so I just got it all because I realized I'm going to have to make my own gloves and I want some extra in case I mess that up. I was thinking PVC for the boots and shoulder pieces, but then I found some really thin matte black vinyl that might work better, since PVC (if I recall correctly?) is pretty flimsy and I've got to make big bootcovers out of it. So I got a yard of the vinyl (for 40% off, it's coupon week!) and I'll give that a try, and if I end up thinking PVC will work better I should still have enough time to order that. I mean, it looks like the black on her bodysuit is shiny, but if it doesn't hold the shape it's supposed to then it really won't do me any good. I also thought about getting PVC just for the shoulders, but then the black won't match and I want it to match. I'm so picky. D:
Anyway, I'm gonna finish Bad Girl first, since there really isn't too much left on that. I'm going to try to put the skirt together (finally!) today~
... And now I'm hungry. D: But I just ate! Well... okay, I ate three hours ago. Maybe I should get a snack. XD I came home and accidentally read for an hour and a half without meaning to. THIS BOOK IS EATING MY LIFE. XD Must fill void left by Republic Commandos...
