... was awesome! Out Jabba the Hutt float was AMAZING and the turnout was great. We had such a colorful array of characters - bounty hunters, sith lords, Jabba's dancers, even Max Rebo and Salacious Crumb! I'll have pics up on FB soon for everyone to see. What a great day!

 Tonight I finished my Olivera holsters. The real ones were $60 each and I couldn't justify spending that much money on them. So, instead, I bought two $8 right-handed airsoft gun holsters (I can't find any left-handed ones with a matching right-handed one) and modded the hell out of them. I reversed everything on one of them so it is now a left- ( Read more... )

Idk why but I am really excited about this new RE costume. I think part of it is because I haven't seen anyone do it yet. Another part of it is that it's looking pretty damn good so far. Finally, his character is so different than mine it seems like it's gonna be fun portraying him. The reason I made my Leon costume is cause I'm so damn much like ( Read more... )

Movie marquee abbreviations are funny. (Why is the word abbreviation so long?) Just saw The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D, excuse me, REAL D, with Jeff and Angelo. It was a cool experience. Movie still makes me really sad though. I feel so bad for Jack but at least he finds happiness with someone at the end. ::sigh::

I'm almost done with Brad and Olivera! Everything for Brad is either in-hand or on its way and should be done in the next week or so. Still gotta get a huge-ass gun and holsters for Olivera. I'm excited to finally have new RE costumes other than Leon. I've been neglecting my mando, however. I need to update it some more with better parts so I can ( Read more... )

The Last Worthless Evening
Don Henley

I know you broke up with him
And your heart's still on the shelf
It's been over two years for me
And I'm still not quite myself
You can't be with someone new
And you can't go back to him
You're beginning to realize
That it's sink or swim

I see you around sometimes
And my heart just melts
You're lookin' like if you had your ( Read more... )

"Cupid De Locke"
The Smashing Pumpkins

Cupid hath pulled back his sweetheart's bow
To cast divine arrows into her soul
To grab her attention swift and quick
Or morrow the marrow of her bones be thick
With turpentine kisses and mistaken blows

See the devil may do as the devil may care
He loves none sweeter as sweeter the dare
Her mouth the mischief he doth ( Read more... )

I'm not every good at expressing myself when I'm upset, so I'm gonna do it through a series of quotes. Here goes...

On love...

"If I truly wanted someone bad enough wouldn't be a thing in the 'verse could stop me from going to her."
            - Malcolm Reynolds, Serenity

You alone can make my song take flight,
It's over now, the music of the night.

Sooo I got my car back the other day. By "got back" I mean "I put it back together enough so I can drive it." Sadly, it's slightly less pretty than it was before I rear-ended that unsuspecting white car but it works and it doesn't look awful. It's good to have it back though. AND I finally got to put my Bee-Otch air freshener from Transformers in ( Read more... )

So, as insane as this sounds, I've decided that I'm gonna design and make a costume of Bumblebee from the original Transformers cartoon (when he was a VW Bug). Got a few ideas and some examples of other bots on cosplay.com. It's gonna be difficult but extremely fun, I think. Wish me luck!
