the curtain closes for another year...

I've survived another musical... We just did three shows in two days for Mulan Jr. It went fairly well, except for issues with the mics and sound system. But since I do costumes and sets, that wasn't MY headache really. The kids had a good time, and that's what is really important. I even had a kid, who showed up to do crew at the last minute, tell me he's going to join Drama Club next year. ^__^

Today we just go back in for strike, no on wants to do THAT at 10 pm after doing two shows in one day. I should have my life back by about 3. ^_________^ (then I can get back to sewing wedding clothes for a certain dollieh couple)

Today I purchased for myself a wonderful garment called a caftan. I have never been so comfortable in all of my life. That, and I feel like some sort of exotic royalty while wearing it, even if it's only for around the house.

They also look stupidly easy to make, so maybe my dolls can have some too. Would it be wrong to make them for the boys too? They may get them either way.

Caftans are unisex. Look up Caftan Patterns and you'll see. They are common in the Middle East and Africa for both sexes. My husband loves them.

I'M GONNA SEE THE HUNGER GAMES ON FRIDAY!

[Evelien]

Seriously, *everybody* is talking about that movie. I've never read the book or heard of it even, but it sounds pretty damn interesting. I might treat my boyfriend on a night out to the cinema if he passes his college exams this week... Heehee!

I've heard that it could be "more" but it's also about the best you're gonna get for an adaption, and it's better than Twilight. Anything to get kids reading I say. I will also be skipping it as the general idea doesn't appeal to me.

Definietly check it out! It's such an awesome book and the people who have seen it told me it was awesome.

Don't really know the Hunger Games but at it's most basic point the premise kinda reminds me of Battle Royale. Need to read that book again. Maybe rent the movie. ...Well, see if the library has it anyway. Can you even rent movies anymore outside of RedBox?

I just came home from Tekkoshocon! I love anime cons. It was lots of fun and Ariel got lots of compliments on his new outfit. I'm going to have to take pictures of it soon, I didn't have a chance before con and didn't think to while I was there. I was such a dollieh pimp, passing out JSpot cards and selling people on Bobobie. XD ...They really do need to get someone to take better pictures of their dolls, one of the artists in the Alley was telling me how she'd been so hesitant to get one because the company pictures are so bad. But yeah. Got to go with my BFF from highschool again this year, the bands were great, the acts in the Masquerade were great, the cosplayers in the halls are always fun to watch (there were these two fursuits who might've been pokemon, they won a craftsmanship award, they were fantastic and had hand stilts and the eyes LIT UP and apparently the cosplayers who made them were like, twelve)...I got to see freaking Zordon...

I have a Weeping Angel teddy bear. I put a Tardis necklace on it and told my friends that the angels had the phonebox because I'm a huge dork. XD I also got a picture of the Tenth Doctor staring it down. XD

Bought way too many DVDs, but I got really good deals on them. Anyone else remember Betterman? I only saw a little of it back in the day but I'd bought one disk a long time ago and at con this year I found five volumes of it on clearance, five bucks each. I picked up all five, even though I thought I had volume one already cause I wasn't sure if I still had it, figured I could get the sixth later. When I got home I looked on the shelf and found I still had the old one, but it wasn't volume one it was volume six the whole time. I completed the series by accident. XD Also picked up some other DVDs of old series that probably no one watches anymore, because I'm crap at following new series. Most of the series I want are out of print.

Next year is Convention Center or bust (thank god, I'm going to remember this year as 'Queuecon' because we've already had 'Claustrophobiacon' and this year was actually really well organized), and hopefully my friend and I will be in a situation where we can afford to stay in the con hotel. It'll be a lot more convenient than driving back and forth and there won't be busses for me anymore.

I have seen Battle Royale actually and the trailer of the HG movie did remind me of that one a bit!
