Pink Weekend
Apr. 21st, 2008 07:41 pmAnother week’s quickly gone by. Working evenings and weekends will do that for ya. I haven’t done much cosplay work as a result. Been slowly collecting the items I need for my Azumanga cosplay. Most of it’s coming from Goodwill, though I had to give up and buy the tie from Wal-Mart. I still feel like I’m cheating when I buy clothes for cosplay; guess I’ve been making costumes from scratch for too long. Progress on baby GIR is slow, but he’ll be finished for A-kon. Maybe I should get Star to cosplay CrazyHoboGrandpa Zim to go with GIR. She’s pointed out that I’m taking two mascot costumes to both A-kon and AX. Wearing two mascots at summer cons . . . I must hate myself. I don’t know about the A-kon walk-on anymore for Pucca and Garu; Star’s reluctant about that idea, probably for all the right reasons.
Saturday we had an ACDF picnic. It was an ACDF event, but a lot of people dropped out at the last minute so it wound up being a small gathering. Star and I of course, plus CC and Cat, and Levi showed up towards the end. We had a lot more food than the four of us could eat but we sure tried. I ate so much that I wanted to take a nap on the picnic blanket afterwards. Instead, we made a human pyramid, pushed CC down a hill and taped the feat while Star wore the blanket as a cape around the park, and then we walked down to the river. The sign said “No Swimming Allowed,” but there sure was a lot of wading and floating and splashing and other verbs you’d associate with swimming. There were a bunch of people there and nearly an equal number of dogs. The five of us couldn’t really think of anything else to do and we ended up dog-watching. Dog-watching, not people-watching. Why? Because dogs can’t understand English so you can give them stupid names like Snausages and Tiger Balls and Sir Humps-a-lot. Yeah, we must’ve spent an hour or so just watching the dogs and making up stories for them and their owners. Next time we do that, I’m bringing beer. As warm and sunny as it was out there, I’ve decided that I want our next outdoor event to be another float or anything that’ll let us get in the water. The only problem is that I don’t see many available weekends with A-kon and AX coming up. Dunno, dunno, dunno.
It wasn’t until we got home that Star and I realized how glowing pink we were. The sun is racist, picking on us white folk like that.
