My brother got a haircut.

Now, this may not seem like such a fantastic, post-worthy event to most people, but my brother WAS one of those people with very scary 'fro-hair, and it'd been that way for a few years. He'd get it braided (into those stupid STUPID cornrows) every so often, and what was left over at the end would rest on his shoulders. There was a point where his hair was nearly as long as mine (coincidentally, that's when I decided that I had to grow mine out because I was sick of it NOT growing. But I swear it's a coincidence, as I was living at school at the time). But normally, he'd just be lazy and let it poof out into a nasty, unkempt 'fro (my hair's nicer. It's thinner, so when it poofs, it at least poofs in a curl shape. His is just poof). I just let him inside the house and.... it's all gone. I almost didn't reocgnize him. Weird.

Okay, real news. Today was another shoot for the movie, which is set to screen ON FRIDAY. Eesh. And, as the girl-twins couldn't make it today, we had to reshoot the ENTIIIIIIIIIIRE fight scene. The fight turns out to be a *spoiler* and I daresay that my side won, thanks to me and Alex. But the others on my side could MOVE, which was great. Chris and Kerri were all kissy in their part of the fight, which wasn't fair to anyone else, as they're engaged IRL. J(aur)on looked around, said fuck it and went off somewhere to drink. But my side still won. Oh, we kicked their ASSES. I also learned how to throw fake punches a little bit better. Steve said I could be a very good shit-kicker. ^_^

Speaking of Steve, I met Maddi today, who's a sweetheart. I like her lots, and she played a HELL of a good Yuna. Crazy Yuna, with big eyes and everything. It was hell trying to get her dressed, though. Figuring out that Yuna costume was tough, and figuring out how to get it all to stay up -- as the costume was made for someone a bit bigger than Maddi -- was tougher. We did it, though, and with only one safety pin. W00T.

But it was more or less the same as last time. Entrance. Stare-downs. Charging. General chaos. Five-second bits with small groups fighting. Turning points. More fighting. It was all a little out-of-sequence here and there, but we did it, and hopefully everything will turn out well. And my Phoenix Down came in handy! ... In more than one way. >.o "No, it's a Phoenix UP!" :::shudder:::

My Phoenix Down: Clicky!
Keep in mind it's been through an entire fight scene, and then some. It looked a lot prettier when I had first finished it. And Warky, I took a page out of your book. I sprayed it with perfume. Not that AXE Phoenix stuff because I don't have any, but anyone remember GAP scents from waaaaaaaaay back when? I still have some of mine, so I used that. It smells prettyful (and not like acrylic paint)! Though.... having been around really sweaty people all day, I think I should spray it again. x_X

At least we had an air-conditioned room. ... Okay, we blocked off the corner that had the air conditioner with some of the drapes. But it worked. It was our Minion-hole, and where we'd relax when we needed to cool off. Chris(quall) started to use it as a changing room, until we pointed out that the fourth wall of his room was a big pane of glass, i.e., the window.

>.> It sounds like the birds chirping outside are saying, "Minion. Minion."

What else...... um, that's about it. The PR Day Parade was today, but I couldn't make it because of the shoot, surprise, surprise. We had lots of fun watching all the paradegoers go by, though, and about half of them had the flags draped across their shoulders. We decided that the superhero name for such people was "Wonder Spic". That's about it. With all the pervs around, though, it's a wonder that no one tried to hit on me. >.>;;

Well, Carmen did fondle me, at least. I felt kinda violated because it was all unexpected. But did I learn my lesson and NOT stand next to her? No. Well, I couldn't. We had to stay in the same places for continuity. But yeah. That was kinda "AAAAH-- oh. Would you at least warn me before you put your hand on my boob/stuff down my shirt, please?" or "Who keeps rubbing my ass?" Hmmm. I don't know how to keep explaining this. I think I'm just going to stop.

"I'M NOT EASY!"

Oh my Goddesses, people are going to be quoting that. And they're going to hate me for a certain act that I did, which eventually led to a panty shot (not mine)! "Ohmigod, did you see that Rinoa that-- she's right over there!!! :::point:::" But it's okay cuz *spoiler*. Consider it payback. HMPH.

:::lip quiver::: Angelooooooooooooooo. ;-;

Oh. So speaking of not being easy, Jon Baker was saying that he saw how all the "Behind the Fantasy" segments went and were put together and that they came out really well. That makes me happy because, like I said before, I totally SUUUUUUUUCKED on mine. What I said, though, just happened to fit into places here and there. I'm the GLUE. I hold it all together, yo.

So, in conclusion, today was a FUN ASS DAY. New friends and reshoot and dizziness. I'm starting to get tired, so I might actually get to bed soon.... haha. Perhaps now. >.> Night.

I decided to start FF9 over from the beginning. My active party has an average level of 41, but the party as a whole is like, 33 or something. Rather than level up just for the sake of leveling up, I started a new file, and I'm going to pay more attention to the story this time. Too often during games, I ask myself, "How did I wind up here? How did I ever get suckered into such a ridiculous predicament?" I'm only two hours in, but at least I KNOW how we got to Dali. Swordfight was awesome, and Queen Brahne was quite impressed. ^_^!!

Phill went to the doctor today, to find out why he was so suddenly and mysteriously sick. He had a fever of A HUNDRED AND FOUR last week, so ew. Turns out he's got strep throat. I'm gonna head over to his place tomorrow and keep him company and baby him. I hope he's back to a hundred percent by next week. It sucks to be sick on your birthday.

Tomorrow is Lynda's birthday, and Wednesday we're supposed to go do birthday stuff. She wants to go to the Bronx Zoo -- the more I think about it, the more it sounds like a good idea -- and all you can eat sushi or Chinese for dinner. I could make the dinner easily, but I don't know about the Zoo. My knee's been KILLING me since yesterday, and I don't know if I'd be able to handle all the walking. Plus, all the walking this weekend, and I won't always be wearing sneakers, either (Damned if I won't have them WITH me, though). I really want to go with her. She's my bestest and oldest friend and my attendance is nearly required by law. I don't wanna wind up on crutches, though....

My mom bought this strawberry cheesecake ice cream today. Why. You. Emm.

IndieZelda's back up a bit, which excites me greatly, and the new layout is GORGEOUS. I have to go catch up on the Wind Waker comic. It's been forever since I've read it. I'm just happy to have another forum to go to, although I think I'm REALLY going to have to be wary on this one; seems that Twilight Princess stuff is more out in the open: avatars, topics, etc. I'll deal. I just don't wanna find out anything else. >_<

Olua's last day of school is tomorrow -- can you believe she's STILL writing papers?! She's a SENIOR, for the love of Nayru! -- which pleases both of us. She can DO stuff, now. Stuff like planning for AnimeNEXT. We're both too excited about the con and cosplaying and attending all these events. It'll be great, cuz we haven't conned together since Shoujo '03. If it all goes according to plan, she's going to be a Moogle, Mihoshi (from Tenchi) and Detestai. :o We love Sunday because we'll get to wear our glasses. I wanted to reveal my new costume -- maybe I still can because it takes up very little space -- but that might have to wait for Otakon.

I WANT TO GO TO CONNECTICON. I need a jeorarurb, and I needed one four months ago. WHY didn't I take Build-A-Bear?!

I rediscovered my craypas today. I only wish I had something to use them for. I doodled a tree on the back of an index card. It came out pretty nicely. Played around with mixing and blending colors a lot, noting the effects they made. I REALLY wish I had an ounce of talent. Ah, well.
