Yesterday was just too damn exhausted and too chaotic to get any languages done, apparently. Today it's too wet to go walkies, which means I need to remember to do it later. Oof. And maybe head down and try and find the tophat. And oh man, Alphas went exactly where you would expect a show involving a mind-control type power in a low-self-esteem person to go and I did not need to see that. And, hey, look! It's evil Toe-moss! Who orchestrated the whole thing. I think I'm going to die from the strength of that surprise.

Costuming is actually going pretty well. I should have all my costume built pretty soon, the key seeming to be not doing too much at a time so I don't overwhelm myself, it only took me four or five years to figure that out, and then there will be figuring out how to put the lightwire together. I think it's mostly just going to have to be glued on to strips of fabric and then the strips of fabric sewn on to the coat, so if I want to launder it I can pick off the lightwire and launder the coat. I just have to figure out how to splice it together and/or cut it from sheets. That's going to be the really tricky part.

Things and stuff. Trying not to freak out over house purchasing again, trying not to freak out over, well. Everything. I'm freaking out about money again, this time with much less reason, I think, but mostly because I haven't heard a goddamn thing so far. And I would really like to know what the hell is going on.

The last time this happened the appraisal fucked us over a barrel without lube. I'm not sure I can take that again.

Oh well. Work today looks relatively light as long as I don't get distracted and keep efficient, which means I can hopefully do some more beading on Lovelace's gloves this afternoon. Heh, and the other thing I decided to do is print up a small notecard about Ada Lovelace and carry it around in some sort of Victorian card case (I need to find me one of those) and hand it out to introduce myself. About the difference engine. Because I am geeking out over this way too much.

I'm being run from the inside by a drill sergeant in my head. Forced to do crunches and push-ups and god knows what else on the weekend. Apparently it's for my own good, so I'll look awesome in my Tron costume. Personally, I think it's revenge for making all my characters suffer through my writing.

I'm still not sure what to do about said Tron costume. I think I may just resign myself to an hour of prep or so, with the boy's help; I'll ask him about that when he gets up. Because the more I think about it, the more sewing it to the unitard is the best solution, and there's no way I can do that and not have it take for freaking ever. The other thing I might do, though, is I might undo the back seam, since it sews down the midline of the body, and put in a zipper. Since I'm only using one long piece of 30ft lightwire, to put it on and take it off again I unhook it from the battery pack, undo my zipper, peel it off carefully, put it away carefully, and then I'm just in my under-unitard. ... That might actually work. Holy shit, I might actually be able to do that. Okay then. That cuts my prep-time by a hell of a lot.

Ahem. Anyway. That can happen in a few hours, it's my weekend, I'm damn well relaxing for a little while longer. And watching more Leverage. For those of you who are following along, I've finished Season 1 and Eliot is my new best friend. I've suddenly developed an appreciation for Christian Kane I never had before, and he is far, far hotter in motion than he is in still photos. Just one of those things, some guys are like that. But now I want to run my fingers through his hair. Mm.

(Which is actually also good for my motivations of practicing guitar! Bonus.)

Ooogh. Stuff, things. My thighs are all twitchy from exercise now, gleep. But I am, in fact, awesome. I have black zippers of various lengths floating around my craft room and I ordered white shorts based on what my actual size is and not what my ideal size is, which means they fit and I don't feel terrible in them. Which means I can dye them next weekend. I'd do it today except I don't want to rush around doing ALL the costume things, so, Tron costume is enough. Faye Valentine, IF I decide to go as her this year (seriously, I have Cheetara, Silk Spectre, Tron, and Abby Sciuto assembled, this is getting ridiculous), will be an extra special bonus.

Oof. And at some point later tonight there may be spinning, but I'm not going to put that in as something I have to do today. Just a thought. Mm, so. Today, sewing zipper onto costume. Then stitching on lightwire, hopefully. Making dinner and starting spaghetti sauce. And fucking around. I can do this. This is easy.
