On a MUCH happier note! I posted links to this and this on the cosplay board of MechaCon's forums as an example of how you CAN get good props out of cardboard, tagboard and masking tape, painted with spray paint and detailed with Sharpie. Juuuuuuust as I'm about to log off the computer entirely... 04:20:51] VanDaShinobi: I just wanna say I'm impressed with your skills with cardboard props. Bravo.
[04:21:04] Volatile Kitsune: Oh holy crap, thank you! :D
[04:21:48] VanDaShinobi: From the shitton of "gundam" and "transformer" and "solid snake" cosplayers, I'm glad to see some skill and creativity.
[04:22:11] Volatile Kitsune: I'm... so flustered and flattered. Ehee. Again, thank you so much!
[04:23:09] VanDaShinobi: Helps to lurk the forums with this night job of mine.
[04:23:43] VanDaShinobi: You coming to the show?
[04:24:01] Volatile Kitsune: The cosplay competition?
[04:24:18] VanDaShinobi: Well, the convention in general.
[04:24:28] Volatile Kitsune: Oh. Hahaha. Yes, I am!
[04:24:43] VanDaShinobi: I'd like to see cosplay this year but since of the venue, I gotta watch the hotel.
[04:25:11] Volatile Kitsune: Ooh. Shame. The whole thing's getting video'd, though, right?
[04:25:45] VanDaShinobi: We're working on that. Every cosplay has been videoed, it's just the guy who did it was always a flake about getting us the footage.
[04:26:06] Volatile Kitsune: Ulch. I hate that.
[04:27:06] VanDaShinobi: Yeah, well this year it's gonna be a hell of a show with the auditorium and all. I'm gonna have to see if I can at least catch the concert after cosplay.
[04:27:52] Volatile Kitsune: Is the concert happening at the college, too? I'm doing such a runaround trying to find and process all the information, heh.
[04:28:40] VanDaShinobi: Yeah. Cosplay at the hall followed by the concert at the same hall. Since we got it for the whole day, might as well make the best use of it.
[04:28:52] VanDaShinobi: Those are the only two events outside of the Hilton.
[04:29:44] Volatile Kitsune: Awesome. Man. Is it August yet?
[04:33:21] VanDaShinobi: Keep ya shirt on. Bout 50 days or so.
[04:33:42] VanDaShinobi: Actually, more like 40 something.
[04:35:04] Volatile Kitsune: Hah, good thing. I have cosplays to finish. =P
[04:35:35] Volatile Kitsune: On that note, though, I ought to be heading to bed. Got work tomorrow so that I can pay for conventions!
[04:36:52] Volatile Kitsune: It was nice talking to you. :3 And once again, thank you so much for your compliments! I really appreciate them.
[04:37:08] VanDaShinobi: Sure. See ya around. G'night.
[04:37:14] Volatile Kitsune: Night! :D :D :D I got complimented on my cosplay props. By Con staff. Squeeee~~~ Tags: art, cosplay, glee, mechacon, oh em gee, props, yay

GUESS WHO JUST GOT BACK FROM THE FINAL BUGGERY OF SCHOOLWORK FOR THE YEAR?!! 8D 8D 8D Man, crit was annoying. I liked everyone else's works, but--we ended up in the woods for several, so long pants and sneakers were necessary. Other works were on hills in the sun, or in the fucking parking lot. >( Man were my feet burny from discomfort. I also got some sunburn, if the GIANT RED CIRCLES on my shoulders are any indication, ahaha. And, I just laundered everything I was wearing and my keychain lanyard because I have a slight bumpy rash developing on the backs of my hands that may be poison ivy. It's way, way early for poison ivy rashes to be showing, but--better safe than sorry. I washed my hands seven times with a total of two different soaps and two dish detergents, and put on some aloe. I'm going to put on some oil-free Corn Huskers lotion (best stuff ever, seriously) here in a bit to combat the scaly dry-handedness. Allyn probably had more "constructive" crit for my piece than anyone else's, hahah. But then, mine was one of the few on-campus she hadn't seen in the working stages, so. And it is kind of blargh as far as craftmanship, but hey. I actually got points for making the damn thing abstract, ah yeah. Stuart was not as receptive to my paintings as I'd been secretly hoping, but I'm not shocked. Everything I've half-assed up in the last few days got a B; my interior-scape painting from the beginning of term got an A. I'm somewhere between B+ and A- in that class, which I am totally cool with. Also I just had the fuck pounced out of me by three people online (given that this is the first time in days I've been on in daylight without away message, I'm not shocked), Clara and Elizabeth want to hang, and I owe Tom a game of Magic. I also have to finish packing everything up, launder my bedsheets, eat something, and take a nap so that I don't die (with my thirty minutes of sleep this morning). Obviously not in that order. Okay. Nap now, then food, then hanging with Tom and/or the freshies in whichever order suits best, then packing. Away! I LOVE YOU ALL. <3 So fucking giddy~~ Tags: clara, college, elizabeth, final crit, final projects, glee, packing, painting i, sculpture i, summer, tom

Classes are over. In the last day of Life Drawing today I drew what may well be my best piece this entire semester. My paintings (finishing 2 "in-class" works that need to total about 8-12 hours' work, finishing 1 "homework" "interior landscape" that's already 75% finished, and doing a 3-hour drapery painting) aren't due until my 10:15am meeting with Stuart on Thursday, May 15. My final project in Sculpture I isn't due until final crit begins at 11:30am that same day. I'm going home either after final crit (ends at 3:00pm) on Thursday or early Friday morning. Since I'm storing Blick's stuff (as Blick is going home before storage begins), I don't have to worry about emptying the fridge super-early. Gilly is coming down on Sunday to visit Tom. Watching of Heroes, playing of Guitar Hero and other random awesomeness will commence. As Scott and Tom are both seniors, they're staying awhile. And I have a new Magic deck with which to play. One of Gilly's friends is a dealer at Otakon. All they have to do is work in the booth for 4 hours and they get free registration. This makes it SUPERLIKELY that they can come. The freshies are staying as long as I am. There will be Whedon-marathoning. I just bought my mom a Mother's Day card, stamped it, and put it in the mailbox. I also bought myself some chocolate because yay. I am in such a state of :3 right now.

I will rearrange furniture this week. The clincher: I love sitting on my bed to draw. I have also become addicted to doing stages-of-art scans. But when I sit over here (on my bed), the scanner is over there. I have a tape measure. Measurements will be taken. Shit will be moved. And I feel better just thinking about it. Accomplishment, even in the form of ironclad decision, is good for me. :3 (Note: that stupid fox reading the newspaper annoys me. That's the best thing they could come up with? I need to make a mood theme.) Tags: awesome, college, furniture, glee, goofiness, mess, plans, random, room
