Junk.

Official pictures of Arran, Sibella and Dayne (both li'l and grown) have been posted. Along with a cutesy A/M moment. <3_<3 Must make plushies. That squeak. I absolutely squealed and fangirled, and I'm not ashamed to admit this. I'm not ashamed to admit, either, how pathetic I am. XD!!

I got a four percent raise at work! Sure, it only amounts to twenty-eight cents, but I'd rather have it than not. It's retroactive to the seventh, so adjustments *should* appear on my next check. Fernando only got three percent. Not surprising considering Karen Flores does the evaluations and she LOOOOVES me. I have to admit, it felt like report card day in grade school all over again: ESNU. XD More like O.W.L.s because the highest grade was Outstanding and the second was Exceeds Expectations, so that was a very WEIRD parallel. I got mostly Os with some Es. See, everyone? I TOTLI (Sam!) belong in Ravenclaw.

Phill also appeared out of nowhere. I was giving out trinkets to some girls when I stepped backwards to put them away and stepped on his shoe. I started to apologize, but then I smacked him in the chest for being retarded and sneaking up behind me. So he mentioned how he went to get new glasses and fitted for contacts, cuz he could... before offering for me. Contacts?! *_* So now I've got trial lenses -- THAT I DIDN'T LOSE -- in a freaky vertical case. Whatever. I'm just happy that when I'm Kitty this weekend, I won't have to fuss with balloon string. YAY lenses. YAY COSPLAY.

(It was interesting trying to explain to the doctor why I wanted lenses when my vision was so good. In all honesty, I'm not that bad; normal people will try on my glasses and ask what they do because they won't see any changes. My prescription is only very slight; I'm 20/25ish in my left eye, but I have astigmatism in my right eye. So, even though I could read tiny letters with one eye, all I saw was a big blurry mess for the large letters in the other. XD But yes, I had to explain about the Kitty costume and the large head and not being able to fix my glasses to see the children. "I'm in costume quite often," I said. :3)

Tomorrow I see Lynda. I hope. She's been scatterbrained from lack of sleep, poor thing, and forgot to mention that I'd be stopping by. Of course, with her mother, that's a big deal. But if not, I'm sure I can make time for her AND SANDY, OMFG, next week. I'll just... knit. Or chill with Lu instead. After the chores, of course. Yay. Love workin' on my days off. Sigh.

( And I thought this was amusing )

Yay, costuming.

So I spent most of the day with Lynda. We ran some errands and stuff. We went out to dinner too, where the service was crap and the food was made poorly, and the waitress was STARING at me the entire time. I didn't want to leave a tip at all, but Lynda insisted that we make the check an even fifty dollars (two and change for the tip, then).

At least I got my fill of sushi.

We also costumed a bit, and I learned that making a tunic is rather difficult, or, it is when you've got to alter the pattern quite a bit, which is what we've got to do. We've gotten a very rough tunic with sleeves and a collar that will require much tailoring and altering. It looks like it'll rock, though.

I was introduced to Firefly, and I can't say that I like it. I was never really into sci-fi shows very much, and it's a decent show, but just not for me. I couldn't help but think of how much Shepherd Book (Ron Glass) looked like Mayor Dinkins. o_O; And then there's Jewel Staite, who I can't NOT see as Catalina of Space Cases. I LOVED THAT SHOW.

...I think it would be neat to have my own Wiki article one day.
