boom de yada, boom de yada...

Things what I did this weekend:

1) Saw Wall-E. Awwwwwwwwwwwww. And had amazing dinner beforehand.

2) Finished Tristan's vest!
2a) ...and worked with leather for the first time! And it was way easier than I thought it would be! Thanks again aviendiora; there was *exactly* enough space on that smaller piece to fit one of the fronts.
2b) ...and now have a good base pattern for a vest/shirt/tunic that fits sirrogue. Thanks, Burda 2459! I hope the jacket pattern works equally well.

3) Watched (well, mostly listened to) season 1 of Danny Phantom. Thanks, raykel! Rogue listened with me (since he was playing WoW) and agrees that it's very fun. As expected, I liked Sam a lot. And Jazz. Yay, girls! Also, a strange fondness for Danny's billionaire archenemy guy.

4) Actually watched a whole episode of Smallville. (sirrogue has been marathoning it; I usually just listen from upstairs.) It was the episode in the sixth season where they first have the Justice League (except they didn't actually say JL) and I giggled like a little girl. Love their little hoodie outfits. If I were a boy, I'd totally make Beaver's Bart's Impulse costume.

5) BEAT LEGO STAR WARS II (original trilogy)!!!! Er, almost two years after we got it. It was a lot easier once we realized you didn't *have* to beat Super Story in an hour. (How anyone could possibly beat ROTJ in that time, I have no idea.) And played the first adventure of Lego Indy. As I've said before, the Lego games are the only kind I really enjoy, because they're intended for eight-year-olds. So they're only a little bit above my level.

wigged out

Hey, costuming people, does anyone have recommendations for a good-quality long blonde wig? (ie, one that won't look cheap/shiny in person or in pictures.) Everything I've bought in the past has been fairly low-quality, but this time I'm willing to spend the money for a decent wig, and I'm not sure where to look. It's for Yvaine, if that helps.
