astillar | Post-apocalyptic Cobbler

I got paid this week so I bought a little bit of fabric and guess what I've been doing all weekend? That's right, working on cosplay! This is by far the easiest mascot I've made; it's actually fun to work on it, it's that easy. I've been focused on cosplay so much these past couple days that I've been letting my household chores fall by the wayside, like laundry. So this afternoon I was all *sniff, sniff* . . . my socks smell funky. I guess wearing them 3 times is the limit. But rather than stop to throw in a load of laundry, I just took some scrap fleece and made me some patchwork booties. New booties = clean booties! Maybe with practice I can work my way up to making shoes out of animal hides and tire tread, like in Mad Max or something. The booties are ugly and too warm and too slippery on the tile, but I still like them. Now I can skate across the kitchen!
I'll probably watch the Superbowl tonight. Normally I don't give two toots about professional sports, but I did get talked into putting $5 into the office pot. So the possibility of winning money plus the entertaining commercials give me enough reason to watch.
