This weekend was a newly revamped Vulcan Convention in Tampa and I had to pull some all-nighters (14hr days, really) to finish our 2001: A Space Odyssey jumpsuits. Sadly, I took no pictures of me in my suit at the con, but I've got a few (yet to be uploaded) from before the con. It took about 7 days to perfect my suit, then at 2pm on Thursday I ( Read more... )

Since I have 5 minutes to myself, I thought I'd post pictures of the picnic from March and a pic of something new I'm working on.

( Pics this way....with lots of boring talking )

Some of you may know that I recieved a new sewing machine for XMas. I am so thrilled to be sewing again on my Viking Platinum 775. It's a bit of a step up from my Brother but easy enough to figure out...especially when you read the manual. Still stuck with the same old ruffler foot (universal fit, my butt) I'll be trading up to an actual Viking ( Read more... )

From my online World Literature professor:

I wanted to honor you for the high quality discussions you have prepared throughout this course. In my view, you certainly deserve nine weeks of bonus points for the effort you presented. Your discussions are inspirational to your class peers and also add to the intellectual quality of this ( Read more... )

The fall semester is almost finished with less than 2 weeks of classes left for me. Yay. Then I get a break from school for 8 months until my program of choice resumes next August. Hmmm...what to do with all that free time?

1. sew LOTS of Victorian dresses
2. get a job (part-time, of course)
3. do both!
We'll see how things go...I'm not looking ( Read more... )

I know you're not going to believe me when I tell you this...but, this week in World Lit (my online class), there have been two, TWO people plagiarizing!!  One guy just c&p'd another guy's entire post.  Another guy jacked my title, 2 sentences and a works cited reference.  Okay...so the works cited may be hair-splitting...but I made a unique  ( Read more... )

I'm under the assumption that no one found out about me ratting out the girl who plagerized her entire assignment a few weeks ago.  I'm also assuming she's no longer in the online class because I haven't seen her post since then ( Read more... )

I love the Dave Matthews Band, I really do. I've been a fan for over 11 years, gone to a show every year, my cars have always had a DMB sticker, my current one's plate is DMB-related and I even have a DMB tattoo. So why can they not get me out of my seat and sweatin' like a whore in church like these guys?

So, it's week 2 of my world lit class and it's pretty tough stuff. All the reading, then researching to post an online discussion of what I've read...very tiring and sometimes boring stuff. My 2nd assignment took me 6 solid hours to complete ( Read more... )

Finally got the over 400 pictures loaded into my Photobucket. Probably 50% of that's simply the parade...and I gotta wonder why I continue to take pictures of the parade? I guess it's in the event I see a great costume but that's rarely the case...at least, in the parade. Everyone knows the best costumes come out after dark. So, without further ( Read more... )
