Blah blah blah blah blah
Jun. 27th, 2006 09:01 pmI don't have any _single_ thing worth writing about, but a couple of little things I feel like mentioning.
So the truck people called me and said my truck should be here this weekend (July 4th weekend). Only a month later than what they said, so I guess that's the same as being on-time. So now I gotta decide if I want to go get my new truck or drive home in my old car to spend time with the family. I had hoped to have my truck before now (like in June, when they said I'd have it). Of course I don't really want to go home, but I did let Father's Day go by without even calling my dad and his birthday is on July 2nd, so if I ignore both it might get me into trouble with him. Damn parents. They always put so much stock in holidays and birthdays and crap. I remember one time my mom flew off the handle 'cause we didn't do anything for her birthday besides get her a card (since we were all broke). So she says, "How would feel if we forgot about your birthday?" I'm like, "I wouldn't care." That reply only made her madder. I really don't care. I haven't celebrated my birthday since . . . shit, six years now? Heh heh heh. Yeah, I guess I really don't care. It's just another day, it's not like on my birthday a little bell rings and an angel comes down from heaven to give me a handjob and wish me well. Once you get past 21, birthdays ain't such a big deal.
Whoops, got off on a tangent there.
As for cosplay, Otakon is about a month away and I decided to repair my existing costumes rather than try to make a new one. That seems to have been the right decision. There's a bit of a Silent Hill gathering scheduled, so for the past few days I've been putting all my spare time into improving my Pyramid Head and making it airplane-transportable. About 11 pm last night though, I opened up my palm with a very sharp chisel. That slowed me down. Thank goodness I bought that first aid kit a few weeks ago; I've gotten very good at applying bandages using only one hand and my teeth.
And some cosplayer was asking for some advice about making mechanical costumes, leading me to tinker a bit with my ongoing Tagmec costume. For his sake, I uploaded a little video of it "in action." You guys can watch the blooper reel though.
