it's days like these that keep me on my winning streak

Ummm, hi. It's been a while. I really don't have time to write anything of significance right now either, but I figured that I should write a little something.

- Work. WORK. It blows. Both jobs, actually. I'm working a lot of hours with little reward.

- Last Friday, we celebrated wilowisp's last hurrah as a bachelor. Drinks were had. Tears were weeped. Photos of Jon Groff's private area were expanded. The pterodactyl porn dance was created. Good times.

- Last Saturday, duckduck and I attended the podcast taping of Doug Benson's Doug Loves Movies. It was amazing! Even though I've been a comedy fan since I was in my teens, it was only the second comedy show I've ever attended. But now I definitely want to go more often. And I was very sad that we would be too tired to go over to Amy Schumer's show at the Varsity later that night and then she showed up to DLM as a surprise guest. Perfection.

- Last Sunday, I finished my dress and jacket for the wedding. Well, I still need to hem the bottom of the dress but that won't take long. I bought snazzy shoes to go with it, so I'm pretty much ready to go. Getting all dolled up for a big fabulous wedding is hard work.

And now back to the 'fun' that is my job...

so I think maybe I've made some decisions about my CONvergence costume. because it's now less than 3 months away and I'm trying to be more proactive than last year. we'll see about that. I also said I wasn't going to sew anything and here we are. we were doing a steampunk western bordello/saloon thing, but we we may end up doing away with the steampunk part because we're lazy and unmotivated. time will tell.

I bought this shirt last night. because it's cute and I like it and I'll be able to wear it other places. and it was on clearance. and apparently I got the last one? idek. but it looks corset-y without being a corset because wearing a corset for an entire night is not my idea of fun. I already bought this pattern, because bloomers are a YES. the knee-length ones, I think. then I think I want to make either this skirt (without the underskirt thingy) or one of these petticoats (just as a skirt). with the skirt in blue with black accents and black bloomers, or vice-versa. will depend on whether or not I'm able to match the blue in the top.

( for the visually minded )
doable, I think. I sense a trip to JoAnn in my future this evening.

and I'm still contemplating doing an Elmyra cosplay for Friday night. but one thing at a time, eh?
