Lolli Lolli Oh Lollipop

✿ Happy Valentine's, S.A.D., S.P.A.T., Whatever Day. I enjoyed it with a nice cold bottle of Blue Moon. ;Db

Weekend recap of sorts:
✿ Friday was dinner with Da Posse at Home. We don't nearly do this enough, but then again when we do, it makes it all that much more awesome. We got free drinks from the bartender cuz he was apparently new and needed the practice. Hey, it was free...and thankfully, were decently made. Afterwards, we went to visit Steph at Ye Rustic Inn a block away. Had more drinks, which led toan impromptu love life counseling session for one of us, which then led to guy bashing and then I think we all just ended up feeling bitter, lol.

✿ Saturday was LACMA day with sakurae and random_karen for their European fashion exhibit. We had a yummy late lunch at Johnny Rocket's at Farmer's Market before we headed over, where we met up with Ali. The exhibit itself was quite fascinating. It's really amazing how much work went into making these fabrics and garments for the well off. I had no idea they embroidered designs onto the bolt of fabric first and thus leaving essentially the pattern pieces for the garment. For some reason, I thought they embroidered the pieces when they were already cut out or when they were sewn together already, but before the lining. That and a few other pieces just blew my mind! I was trying to fathom HOW they made it. I feel like I have no right to complain when I make stuff because these people were like PRO.

Oh, and we cracked a joke at how a lot of the materials looked like what we'd use for upholstery now and amused a nearby guard. XD

I also LOVED the paper wigs on the mannequins! I wanted to play with them~

( My fave and some interesting things. )

Then something horrible happened: When we were almost done gawking at the exhibit, I dropped my camera. The lens barrel got bent and the metal plate fell off. B'awwwww. ;___________;

( RIP Camera-chan. )

✿ Sunday was early celebration for my mom's birthday that's this Wednesday. We went to this restaurant that my parents like, but I don't. Proof: Their mapo tofu was a disappointment.

✿ Had a couple weird dreams the past month.

First one: ( was interesting... )

Booyah! Apache's top is done!



I think I lost some weight since I first started this top. Yay, going to the gym's paying off. Boo that the shirt's not as form fitting as before. The booby area's a bit airy. @D@; Maybe I should go get a bra that's a cup bigger and stuff them or ignore it and just fashion tape myself in...IDK yet. Also, the petals of the collar like leaning towards my neck even after a few layers of interfacing. Not sure what to do with it...oh well. =3=;

Also, yay new haircut!


Thank you to fattastik for cutting my hair! ♥ It came out so cute~

I think I dreamt that my mom predicted there was going to be an earthquake a few seconds before it actually happened. She ran in warning me of it, but I was SO TIRED that I didn't even bother getting up from bed. I just kinda slept through it, LOL.

Yesterday at work, I was typing colors of the logo for the printer's reference when I paused to look at what I wrote, then burst out laughing. I had typed this out:
PANTONE 450 C
PANTONE 462 U
PANTONE 462 M

( Yoinked from Rynn~ )

Okay, heading over to Ben's place for movie night!

Hm, I think I had a dream about wearing the wrong pants for Tieria. I had on a pair of darker khaki corduroy rather than a lighter normal pair, I don't even know...and then it shifted to luffyxii talking to me about either Black Butler or PMK, lol. XD Oh mah brainnn.

And crap. I forgot to bring the shampoo + receipt so I can go to Target after work to make an exchange. I totally grabbed two shampoos, instead of one shampoo and one conditioner. Found out the hard way last night -- at least I had some conditioner left from another bottle so I still look Garnier Fructislicious.

Lol, following bluestraggler's lead from her Dreamwidth for a list of future cosplays. Except my list is more of a wishlist -- Of ones I've always wanted to do but haven't done so yet and maybe never will...

:: Firo [Baccano!] - But I don't want to make matching suit + hat. >>; I'll probably make a better Czeslaw.
:: Legretta the Quick [Tales of the Abyss] - I just LOVE her design.
:: PJ!Naruto - Cuz I have his walrus hat...Anyone have a blonde wig I can borrow? Lolol.
:: Neji [Naruto] - Hah.
:: Kotetsu or Izumi [Naruto] - I WUV THEEEM. But their gray uniforms or ANBU one are both do not want.
:: Roxas [Kingdom Hearts II] - His hair scares meee.
:: Tsukasa Amou [Juvenile Orion]
:: undecided [Hyung Tae Kim]
:: Hachi [NANA]
:: Moondoggie [Eureka Seven]
:: Chihiro [Spirited Away]

And these will probably happen in the next year or two:
:: undecided [K-On!]
:: Atsushi Otani [Lovely Complex]
:: undecided [BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad]
:: undecided [Ragnarok Online]
:: Kino [Kino no Tabi]

Whyyy am I already thinking of NEXT year?? ~_~;

I'm hungry. Is it lunch time yet?
