ha ha, oh wow

One day left, plus an all-nighter and Saturday morning. Currently done: Dress, save for some seam finishes. Almost done: lollipop, goggles, Jade shirt, Simon jacket, core drill, Anise wig. Started on: Anise boots. Not yet started: Jade cloak, Anise cloak, Jade vest, Anise socktubes, Anise sleeves, Simon pants, Simon boots, Tokunaga. Still need to cut out bandages for Simon. Still need a belt. And I need more interfacing. Well, I'm in a fine mess here.

I'm going to see about going to Wal-mart tomorrow to buy groceries and interfacing. Hopefully my mom will say yes. Or else I'll just have to deal with some floppy things here or there. :|

Also looks like I'm bringing the sewing machine to the con or something. lol D: If I'm not finished with Simon on Saturday, I'll finish him at the con and just wear something else instead to the Vic Mignogna panel. Maybe Simoninadress? ;-; That would be kind of funny.

But uh, I only have enough interfacing for the backpiece of Anise's cloak so unless I can work something out, I'll either have two front pieces and a stiff collar for the cloak and my jacket, or a backpiece and floppy everything else. If I wanted to be really ghetto, I guess, I could use the backpiece that I already made for my other cloak and then just cover it up with my new fabric, but-- that's so ghetto. ;-; I might end up having to do that though. ugh. At least the maroon lining is opaque, so no one will be able to see the parts that I painted on with the old cloak.

Cutting pieces out for the sleeves atm. Need to start packing or at least find a proper luggage carrier, as well. I'm glad that I bought makeup last weekend, I'm going to look like hell on the day of the con. :|

And just put in the elastic for my goggles. Sew them down and I'm done. fuckyeah

I guess I should cut out pieces and make my bias tape tonight so I can get to work putting it all together tomorrow. I'm excited, guys. Don't know if this is good or bad excitement but I'm pretty excited.

And I need to get to work. Post again later if there's time.

and when you wake up

Finished reading Kafka on the Shore. Decent book, but I'm not sure if I like it more than The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or not. Another ambiguous ending, lots of symbolism and things you have to figure out by yourself. Murakami said that you had to read the book several times to get the actual meaning of it, but I'm not patient enough to do that, haha. >: I did read it pretty quickly though, faster than it took me to read The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

I'm still trying to find a copy of Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but no luck so far. Barnes and Noble says it's in stock at the store but it wasn't there any of the times I went to look for it. So I need another book to entertain me for now. I guess I'll go look into some more fiction books when I have some time. D: I was supposed to read The Joy Luck Club but I haven't started on it at all yet, only read the first story and then something out of the middle. I guess I'll read that for the moment being, until Ballad of a Shinigami and Kino no Tabi 2 comes out.

and.. yeah. derp

Another week until Megacon, dress pieces are pinned down and cloak is being painted, though I have to redo one of the pieces because paint spilled on it and.. yeah. ugh. It happened last time too. I'm just lucky that I still have enough fabric left to cut out another piece, I didn't think I would have enough but I guess I did. Still gotta buy a few things, so I'm banking on finding them at the mall over the weekend. Otherwise I'll just see if I can borrow them from someone else until I can buy my own. It'll be a lot of trouble either way. >: I've gotten pretty much everything else worked out, though, so I really have only those two things to worry about. Everything else I'm pretty sure I can get done if I work really hard over the weekend and during the week.

I'm, uh, addicted to this song right now. wtf. The full version's surprisingly nice. I couldn't really get into the TV size because it was boring after watching the full episode, but listening to it by itself is.. good. ;-; Same way with the Kaiji ED. augh. I need more songs to listen to.

And anon released Ten chapter 1 fuckyeah. It's on my desktop right now, but I'm going to wait until later to listen to it. Going to work for a while, and then come over here to write my essay for English. >: I kind of want to go to sleep but I'm too busy to take a nap right now. D:

...shigofumi 8 is done downloading.

SHIT >:|
