a zen costuming moment

Just to give you an idea about what I'm talking about it with this one....on Friday, at the SJBS, I had time to sit down and make tassels. I made 5 of them. I thought while I did it, why am I making 5? Why not 4 or 6? I shrugged and stopped at 5.

Last night, I approached the belt, trying to figure out where to put on the tassel extensions. There are exactly 5 sections to the belt. I didn't have the drawing with me on Friday, and I definitely wasn't counting when I did it.

So I have the exact amount of tassels, ready to go.

sweeeeeeeeeeet.

I think it was a Tuesday...

getting to that point where dates and days are not really meaning a lot, or I just don't have time to notice...but I'm pretty sure today was Tuesday.

Work was work....miss Sara and Ryan cooked us all yummy chickens on the BBQ...mmmm....found out it's a small, online world....a few weeks back I saw this post on tribe that caught my eye about something called orkut...and I thought, gee, that's weird, exactly the same way as Sara and Ryan's odd roommate spells his name. Well, same guy, he made the site...pretty funny ;) Had no idea...

And I scoped out my webstats via powweb tonight---and again, this company rocks! If you want to host a site on a server that's affordable, up 99.7% of the time, and easy to work with? powweb.com! I can see everything about how my site is being hit---by who, what robots and search engines, what pages, how many times, how long......I got shit from webaxxs. I'm in awe of powweb...it's like they keep giving me just out of the oven cookies---for free! With juice!

Tried to work on the costume, am not feeling the zen, so I'm going to lay off of it. It's pretty much done---I'm just undecided about how much metal I want to put on it. The lines of the costume itself are very strong, so I don't think it needs much. Need to decide on the best lacing. The stuff I like the most is a bit on the wide side, the stuff that's most functional doesn't really have enough punch in the color, and the ribbon is the right color and size, but how well will it hold? Maybe I should braid the second and third stuff together. Need to make a few hair accents...

My schedule:
Wednesday---work, trim and make cards, place order for prints, pick-up stuff from Isabel, maybe prep Girl, costume detailing
Thursday---deal with prints, plexi a few, frame and/or mat a few at work, finish cards, costume detailing
Friday---pick up tanks in AM, paint Girl, pack Kamlvan, Rakkasah by 3pm.

I actually have my clothes picked out mentally for all three days...well, tops at least LOL. Hair too. ;)
