oh lord, tell me who to smite and they shall be smoted

Ugghhh.  I hate people who can afford nice yarn.  I want to smite them.

I really want to work on the bigass star blanket I'm making, but I ran out of red yarn.  -_-  Suck.  When I say blanket, really, it's just a huge five-pointed star.  I plan on putting it somewhere obnoxiously prominent in my room when I finish.  I have this thing with afghans.  I've always hated blankets with holes, and it seemed like that was all we ever had around when I was little.  I'm weird.

I watched the finale of Top Chef for five minutes.  There was urine involved in those five minutes.  I discovered that it was possible to be even more done than done.  There is, in fact, another level called done.

I also watched the first episode of Top Design.  It's surprising that the sheer amount of queens on this show wasn't enough to keep me interested.  Todd Oldham should never, EVER try and speak publicly, although it's apparent that he does know a relative amount about interior design.  His robot voice was creepy.  He was a very sweet mentor, though... not as awesome as the Gunn-ster, but that's pretty much impossible.  There's no one like Gunn.

So, yeah.  There was cattiness, whatever.  The design that won was really cool (they put a Zen meditation sand pit right in the middle of the floor, for God's sake), and some other things were kinda neat, but bah.  

Even Ari wasn't that impressed.  He actually asked me at the end of the episode when Project Runway was coming back.

You hear that?  He's so close to gay.  Why, God, why have you chosen to make my brother straight, yet taunt me in this manner?  Unfair.

This week, I get to spend other people's money.  I am fantastically excited.

(no subject)

I started a wordpress blog for all my craft & costume related nonsense.  When there are pictures, I will show you all.  I might be addicted to wordpress, by the way.  I think I like it too much.

I actually haven't felt any real love for LJ in a long, long time.  I like that my friends list here is comprised mainly of people I know in RL or people I've been connected to online for a long time, but that's the only real benefit to me.  And not having the time to maintain an actual website anymore, I miss having a real blog.  Now that I can't afford a paid account here on LJ, the magic is slowly dying.

But, since you can import entries from LJ to wordpress, I'll probably keep updating here.  You can all stop crying.  It's okay.

I did some convention work today, and I'm getting more and more excited.  I found some awesome products on Budd Bay's website, including a couple of awesome tote bags that I really, really want to get printed up for the con.  I also made a post at the SakuraCon forums just to see if anyone in the area would want to have a table in the rotunda.  We'll see how that goes.  I have no problem with turning people down if it gets crazy, so I'm not too worried.

Ben made a fabulous design for the shirts, so I should have an order into Budd Bay within the week.  *crosses fingers*

I'm also thinking of having some of these printed on cardstock and having them at the convention, maybe free to anyone who makes a donation, no matter how small.  I love them to death, and I think it'd be a fun activity.

Tomorrow, I shall frolic all the way to campus and do some more crazy errands.  Hi-yah.
