Friday the 13th!!!

A special call-out to a couple people today.

[livejournal.com profile] starstraf: Happy Birthday! A Friday the 13th birthday rocks.

[livejournal.com profile] secret_malady: Check out today's (8/13/04) For Better or For Worse comic strip. Look, it's us on the funny pages!

Last night my serger died. Yeah, that sucked. I don't know if the tension just needs fixed or what, but I'm just gonna forget about using it for faire stuff and finish my seams the hard way. I don't want to put the money in to get it fixed (it's hardly worth $50 at this point) and I don't have nearly the money to buy another one. So that sucks.

1. If your family was a television family, who would they be? Name family and/or television show. Ozzie and Harriet. We're mostly perfect, and the family on Leave it to Beaver was tres boring. We aren't quite up to the level of comedy that [livejournal.com profile] slackmistress's family has attained, but at least we're not boring.
2. If you and your friends were a television show, what show would best describe i.e. personalities and/or day-to-day relations? I think a cross between Friends and Absolutely Fabulous. We're mostly nice people, but sometimes we get a little too drunk.
3. What television show would best represent your life? By title alone? Freaks and Geeks.
4. What theme song would run for a television about you? Maybe one used by a show already or something different. I'd have a different song for every episode. If the focus was on me (ahem), I'd have Broadway showtunes. But I think shows work better when it's an ensemble cast. So maybe figure who the focal character is in the episode and have a song that represents that person. That'd be cool.
5. Who would you have play yourself? Friends and family? We'd all play ourselves because we're a bunch of hams. Except maybe my mom. She's kind of introverted and most definitely not a ham. I'd see if Sophia Lauren was available to play my mom.

Last night I put the tassels on dance costume #2, got the casings done on the bloomers, and the skirt finished. When the serger died I just didn't have the heart to soldier on. Tonight, back to the grindstone. I hope to finish the bloomers (gotta get some lace for fluffiness) and the chemise. Oh, and I need 3/4" elastic. I need to write this down or I'll get home without the elastic and then there will be much teeth-gnashing.

Hope to see lots of friends at Jazzhaus tonight! Shake shake shake your booty!

I was hoping to get "You are well known for enthusiastically sexing it up with Alan Rickman behind the sets" but I guess that probably wasn't really an option. Sigh.

Thank you - hey found something for you while out at garage sales

Cool! Garage sale items are about all I can afford right now. =b

You're welcome to borrow my non-serger sewing machine. I wasn't sure if "the hard way" meant using a machine like mine or doing it by hand. It's an early 80s Singer but it's an absolute TANK.

What time are you heading over to The Jazzhaus?

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2004-08-13 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I have a good sewing machine...thanks for the offer, though! Just wasn't looking forward to french seams...ugh!!!

Luckily, someone came through for me and let me borrow his serger this afternoon.

9-ish?

Cool, early enough to grab a table even with the returning students. See you there.

I don't get the joke. So you buy a lot of the same lipstick?

[livejournal.com profile] secret_malady and I both share the superpower of being able to get anyone to discontinue anything we like: Makeup, menu items, TV shows, etc.
