Woooo! *thud*
Last night's party was lots of fun. I was expecting more costumes, but for those who did wear one, bravo! Matt & Mitch's costumes were by far the funniest. My costume was funnier in my head than it was in reality. *shrug* I think there should be more eye patch cosplays in my future; wearing one is like an instant +10 coolness bonus. Even though Stephanie said she was po', she still managed to offer up quite a spread at the table. If I hadn't been so busying downing the suds, I would've really dug into the food. Oh! And Amelie brought along this cool ass jack-o-lantern with a really elaborate carving of an Alien (from the movie Aliens) on it. In hindsight I should've gotten a picture of it. I'll never see an equally cool jack-o-lantern for the rest of my life.
I guess technically, we didn't _DO_ anything at the party other than drink and hang out, unlike last year's party with all it's zombie events. This party was still tons of fun, regardless. I would upload pics if it weren't for the fact that my camera cable is in my Dallas hotel room.
I've been dragging ass today. It's okay, I knew the price of this ride. The hang-over's been chiefly in my stomach, which won't settle down regardless of how much food I put on top of it. I spent the afternoon packing and getting ready to head back to Dallas until I got a phone call saying I wouldn't need to go back till Wednesday, due to all the rain.
This evening I've been looking online to figure out which sewing machine I should get. I'm liking the Commercial Grade line of Singer machines. Simple, no frills, but strong and sturdy. I don't need a million-and-one stitches; I do need a workhorse than can punch through vinyl, leather, and canvas. And then there's the reason which shouldn't be a reason: I like the way they look. I know, I know, I need to stop seeing cosplay as a threat to my masculinity. But until I do, I'd like a sewing machine that fits in with all my other power tools. *nod* Hammered steel finish? Yes, please, thank you.
I'd like to take an experienced cosplayer with me when I do get a chance to look at the machines in the flesh, to help me finish figuring out what I do and don't need in one. Because those sales-people sure aren't any help; last time I spoke to one, she tried selling me on a $800 Husqvarna. No thanks.
