Bzzzz

I realize this takes conservation and frugality to a whole new level, but I can't help thinking it looks very pretty, too. Or at least it would if you finished the plywood top. Hack a Toilet for "free" water.

I also want to make one of these. Retro Hi Fi Rebuild. And store my CDs for it on shelves like this. Hungarian Shelves.

The wheat-free thing is going depressingly well. I'm down another pound and a half. So yeah. Four and a half pounds gone in two weeks (and one of them, I was on my period). Looks like I'm one of those lucky Wheat-Free people now.

The chemise is finished and looks great. I'm very happy with the ribbon detail I added and the gores add the perfect amount of flounce. I'm on-schedule with the self-imposed deadlines that will have me finished with The Costume by Wednesday. Let's see if I stay on track during the weekend.

Speaking of getting things done for this costume, I'm leaving work an hour early today so I can run some errands. I need to get the stuff to mod a gun. Or maybe a sword. Maybe both. But whatever, it's all happening this evening because you bet your boots I'm not going to run around town any more than I must this weekend. C-R-A-Z-I-N-E-S-S.

i not only get to drive around all weekend , I get to drive out of town visitors around all weekend and drop them all off at things

Dood. Sux to be you.

But hey! Better than not celebrating graduation this year, right?

[starstraf.livejournal.com]

VERY true

That's a very cool idea on the toilet. It wouldn't work so well in my house of mischievous urchins, but dang that's a good idea.

I imagine there would be lots of toilet-flushing as entertainment.

OMG, think of the cats' entertainment factor in our house.

I so desperately try the wheat-free repeatedly, but it's so hard. Sadly, I do feel so much better without it. But.. no pitas? Jacob's Cream Crackers? Ah.. I cry!

It *is* hard. But it's harder (for me at least) to feel gross and bloated all the time.

I agree with you on that. I'm having some sort of weird reaction where I can literally feel my waist expanding after I eat some things. It happened to me the other day with a slice (a slice!) of bread. I can give up bread pretty easily, I'm still searching for a good substitute for a nice cracker for cheese.

I totally forgot it's graduation weekend.. . . Maybe I better go run errands now too!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I'd recommend it, yes.

I have an old Hi Fi I'm SO ready to get rid of

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

OK, I've spent a week figuring out where I could put your HiFi and I'm coming up with nothing. BOO. I'd love it, but...

=(

It's not shaped like the other either. It's more like a dresser, I'll see about Craig's list.

At cons, guns are only allowed for the duration of the masquerade if one is in it. A sword would likely be a safer option, thought they likely are also not allowed.

guns are only allowed for the duration of the masquerade if one is in it.

Even if it's a painted water gun?

If so, I might want to just nix that. No point spending the time on it. Too bad.

Oh. Fook. New-people-in-town traffic this weekend, huh? Maybe I should re-think the movie thing....
