So much for fabric shopping.

[osaraba]

Woke up a little before noon on Saturday, and that seemed portentious of the rest of the day. I basically vegged out in front of the TV all day with Angelica. Haha. I saw Grind, which was cute and entertaining, but makes me pine for old 80s movies which are along the same lines, but better.

I meant to go home around 5 or 6pm, but I just didn't feel like going. louiex left at around 5pm, Will left shortly thereafter. I left at 1:15am. Bad me.

So many things I was supposed to do, but didn't. Fabric shopping, for one. An important one, in fact ~ I have a feeeling costumes this year are going to be even more last-minute than even last year. Aaaaargh! Actually, the months of July and August are going to be really weirdly hectic this year. I'm working 6 days/week until the end of July, of course. Angelica's and Liz's brithdays are at the end of the month, also, and it's already mid-July. Maryann's father starts work in Albequerque on August 27th, so they have to be moved into the house there at least a few days before that. Which means, since they're driving cross-country, that they'll have to leave 3 or 4 days before that. Which means. She might not be going to Otakon this year. It really sucks that it's working out this way.

I ask myself every year, why do I leave the costumes until the month before the con? And then I remember, oh yeah. We don't really decide what we're cosplaying until around January, usually. Then, I have no money to buy fabric. And no time to make stuff until Liz is out of school and can help me by doing the cutting and other prep work. (See it's not only that I'm a lazy bum.)

I hate to be mean... but *why* didn't you go fabric shopping! We don't even have patterns... we really need to start. This sucks mucho. >:(

And MaryAnn's situation sucks, too... but why can't she pack earlier? Does she have to pack up right before they leave? OH... 'cause she wants to see them?

Why is everything poopy here *and* in New York! Guh.

Oh poo. I didn't see you taking my sewing machine to be fixed before you left for Chicago. =P

We'll do stuff.

I know you want to get the costumes done, I do too. Yelling at me is not going to help.

Moo.

And then you have the sexy 美少年 coming to make it hecticker hidoi yo.
When you come to Japan next year cheat and buy the costumes you saw. ***Insert stereotype flatchest joke here***

[osaraba]

Yeah, I would prefer if she came with us too. ^^ It's not completely settled yet, though. I guess we'll see how it works out.

[osaraba]

Haha. Us. Buy costumes. From Japan. *snickerLOLOLOLsnicker*

Oh, and it's not that she has to pack right before they leave, but she wants to go with them to Albequerque to help them move in. They're driving there 'cause they can't put all the animals on a plane, apparently. (You know they have 2 dogs and 6 or 7 cats.)

I thought just her mom wanted her to go with them... and I thought she didn't want to? ::confuzzled::

And are we still waiting for Ami to return so we can go with her and her grandmother to get the sewing machine fixed? Or are we going to try to go without them?

Re: Grrrrr!

[osaraba]

Her mom wants her to go with them and stay for a "few months". Maryann wants to go with them to help them move, but then come back to NY.

When is Ami returning? If we can, we should try to get it fixed on Friday or Saturday. So if she comes back after, then... I guess it depends on if we find a place and how much they charge. But I want to try first w/out them, so if there's an affordable place, we can just do it sooner.
