Costume Update and Random Ramblings

Journal Entry: Thu May 15, 2008, 1:02 PM
  • Mood: Zeal
  • Listening to: Smash Bros. Brawl OST
  • Eating: Chipz
I should really learn this foreign technique. I over-drafted 42.53 or so yesterday. I think it's cause I haven't been getting enough sleep, which has been affecting my ability to do math in my checking register. Oh well, It'll iron itself out eventually.... maybe.

Still working on the costume. I have wireframes for both the leg parts that I blueprinted out, so I'll photograph those when I find my camera. I'm waiting on the shipment of WonderFlex, and I keep thinking that It might be easier to just make the costume out of sheet metal. Granted it would be a LOT hotter and heavier to wear around for three days. Plus the crotch-portion of the costume would be ludicrously uncomfortable... Maybe I can somehow make that out of cloth.... *ponders*

=========================
Costume Expenses

2 Yards Black Stretch Fabric $12
1 Roll Hardwire Mesh $17
2 Sheets Wonderflex Plastic $100
1 Blow-Dryer (ALREADY HAVE IT LOLKTHX)
1 Pair White Gloves
1 Blonde Wig
2 Cans Red Paint
1 Can White Paint
1 Can Gold Paint
1 Can Grey Paint
1 Can Blue Paint
1 Can Green Paint
2 Cans Clear Coat Paint

Total Cost = $129 (so far)
=========================

Any suggestions for the costume would be appreciated, also If when I finish this one, you want to have a costume made for yourself, you will be able to commission me, if you so choose.

========================================================

Let's see, I haven't really had much time for recreation, as strange as that sounds. I don't think I've actually sat down for a gaming session that wasn't cut short by my need to run off and take care of things (school, grocery shopping, work, etc). hopefully after the 30th things will calm down and I can finally get some quality time in with the stack of "I'll play those when I beat this" games that has been steadily expanding.

========================================================

I think I'm going to stick with two jobs for a little while longer, if only to earn some extra cash. The bowling alley has started to be less of a pain in the ass, and more about me doing something other than alley work while I'm there. Hours at GameStop haven't quite become a constant number, So i'm reluctant to rely on that as a primary source of income. As it stands right now My hours vary from 15-40/week. At least if I hang on to the alley job, I can be guaranteed at least 40 a week between the two.

On the same train of thought, our Assistant Manager was let go at the store. Not sure of any of the reasons why yet. It's just strange cause he and I got along really well as co-workers, and it's gonna be a little awkward without someone there to chat with. Tom and Courtney are both on the quiet side, and I don't really share the same interests as them, so it's going to feel weird for a while.

========================================================

I've been toiling away with school stuffs recently, and kicking out four assignments a night on average has really been a help. I've even resorted to doing schoolwork when I'm on shift at the Bowling Alley. Actually hand-writing things! Lord I haven't done that in YEARS!

I'd like to personally thank :iconturbolence: for keeping me on track now that I've entered the final stretch. This is usually the point where I say "eh, I'm too lazy to finish this stuff", but he's actually been helping a whole hell of a lot, and I owe him one. Thanks, man.

=====================
School Status:
Assignments: 119/152 (33 left)

Hello there, X. As if it weren't enought that you decided to watch my gallery, now you decided to add me to the friends list.
I understand the friend list part, but the watch... Oh well, you choosed it.

But anyway, you're right. That way you'll be seeing my drawing. I'de say soon, but I'm not so sure about that. Even drawings like mine take time.
And now that's a surprise.

But thanks for both anyway.
