Yubsie's Yammerings

I think Schroedy likes this costuming hobby of mine. She is currently sleeping on the fabric. The white fabric, of course, as her fur wouldn't show up NEARLY as well on the blue. I'm pretty sure I don't have to cut anything more from the white though.

This is a Water Pretear costume for Anime North. Which is in two weeks. I started the costume today. Because I am THAT AWESOME. It's going pretty decently though. I have the basic shape of the bodice down. Though I need to figure out how to actually do it up in the back, as the art explanation is "It's all one piece, screw physics". I'm not sure I have enough slack to do velcro, so I may try making it lace up. I also have the underskirt done, it just needs to be hemmed. Though I want to be sure the back is done up properly because I try hemming it, I think.

So that just leaves the detailing and the overskirt. Hemming the overskirt is going to take forever. This may not have been a wise costume considering I hate hemming. Oops.

My laptop keyboard has more or less given out. The letter keys have gotten wonky in addition to the missing Ctrl and F5. So I decided it was time for a USB keyboard. All I could find at Best Buy was a roll up one. I tried it. The keys wobble and it's clearly meant for someone who types more slowly than I do. So I returned that and went to future shop and now have a proper keyboard. The only tricky thing now is positioning it so I can still use the trackpad. :p

I successfully installed my shiny new RAM. Tiny hands are useful for getting things in place with a lot of wires in the way. Katikabe, it was REALLY simple to install it, I managed it in my fishie seeing state just fine. I'm LOVING how much better my computer is running now. Especially the SIMS! The ridiculag, she is GONE! (Big picture post coming tomorrow, too tired to upload right now)

Text sumamry though! Simon finally got the hint and gave birth to a beautiful green baby girl, who I named Marigold. Then I zipped off to Bob's house so he could marry River. Then I created a family and killed the parents in weird and wonderful ways so Book could start his orphanage. I used the InSimenator so I could actually see Death by Sattelite and Death by Flies. Book has adopted three of the four offspring from that family. He has the two children, a boy named Victor and a girl named Susan, and a little toddler girl named Holly. There's still a little toddler boy named Jason waiting, but the game only allows one adoption a day. The point is, there is an ORPHANAGE on the second floor of Inara's house.

So sleepy. But computer wonderfully not laggy! Joy! Joy!

My printer spontaneously fixed itself! :D I'd be confused, except it spontaneously BROKE itself in the first place. One day I sat down at the computer and it was all "Unknown USB device". I was staring at the computer muttering "It's a PRINTER. You knew that yesterday!". Today it was suddenly all "New Hardware detected! Samsung ML 1450... Your new hardware is now installed." NOw, it's not new, but I don't care, because I have a working printer again! So I was able to print my thesis to edit it, because the next hand in date is looming big time.

And, if the music didn't give it away, I found my headphones. Well, my backups... I think my little ones must be in Duffy's trunk.

Also, half the boys still aren't here. They must be SERIOUSLY hungover. ANd I swear, half the other labs just didn't come back from lunch. :p
