It's really not a dirty word. I promise.
Listen to Blood by The Middle East whilst you read this entry. I promise it's not emo; it's just the kind of mood I'm in today. Also, I REALLY like their cover art and will pay anyone less than $20 to paint it for me. And before you go to listen and you're all like, "oh, I don't like guy's voice", I challenge you to get over it and listen to the music anyway. It gets better every time.
I FINISHED MY DRESS TODAY.
Just in time for date night at the barrel of crackers!
Here is a picture of my favorite things about the place:
Boyfriend and the peg elimination game! Yes, yes.
And here are some sweet pics of the frock, with my hair being a hot mess:
And the back along with my great posing faces: Click to enlarge!
Dressmaker's notes:
- Invisible zippers are not as scary as they may seem.
- The lighting in my apartment is terrible for photography.
- If I was selling this dress on ModCloth, I'd name it the Pleats to Meet You Dress. :D
- Now I definitely can't wait to start my next project: a chambray skirt! I'm into chambray. I'm also evil, also into cats. Also into cats.
How about my roommate cooked something NORMAL yesterday? It was like a spaghetti-broccoli-sauce party in the kitchen, and it actually smelled okay. At last! A day without fish! But then I came back later, and it smelled like feet.
Not the usual dead feet smell, but just the regular feet smell.
I think that's where the word 'fetid' comes from.
Feet.
I haven't made a paper chain in a while. Not since statistics. But there are only 18 days left of Business Intelligence and all its horroridity, so I'm feeling a peculiar need to chart my progress until the end of it all. However, I already have a 3 columned to-do list as my wall art. This paragraph is depressing, so I'm going to start a new one.
Sometimes I get so excited about getting to take a nap that I actually have trouble falling asleep. Naps are counter-intuitive.
Anybody want to tell me why coffee is so dang expensive? I think we need to start growing coffee beans. Heck, we have a lemon tree; what's stopping us? Probably the direct labor cost and manufacturing overhead.
But that's just a guess.
A boyfriend is not the same as a weekend,

Nice frock. Your name is better than ModCloth's names.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the Middle East song later. Not working from home today. And unless you have some desperate kid from the graphic design department paint it for you or do it yourself, you'll need to dish out more money than that for cover art.
I think a peppercorn tree would be cool. (Oh Dave! You spoil me!)
Watch Dual Survivor.
I don't trust desperate art kids, and I got tired of waiting, so I drew it myself and colored it in with colored pencils while the guys played Call of Duty. It turned out pretty nice- I'm a better tracer than I thought I was, and I had an AWESOME quote to go with it.
ReplyDeleteSo:
Opportunity of <$20 = GONE.
