Life

I just don't have a ton of time to write in here lately, but I'm trying to keep up with it. I am reading about all of you, my friends.

I met a friend at http://www.pranaraw.com/ yesterday, very neat! I imagine I will be back there again, it was quite the bright and peaceful place.

My Mom had a doctor's visit last Friday and they found a lump in her breast - its been two years since her breast surgery. She is in the doctor early this morning for a mammo, ultrasound, potentially a biopsy. Please keep her in your thoughts.

It will be HOT today, so please keep hydrated. I'm getting more into wearing dresses or skirts to work, mainly for the ease and comfort. Hopefully I can get myself into sewing again and grow this wardrobe. We stopped at Sewfisticated and Sew Lo on Sunday for a project Brian is working on, and I grabbed some stuff for a dress in Jodi colors - swirly blues and greens.

Anyone know if a good place to get good garment-grade leather-looking vinyl that's not $35 a yard?

I guess you haven't been watching Clone Wars! ;)

Pre Vizsla is the leader of the Deathwatch, the group of Mandalorians trying to overthrow the peaceful ways of the new leader and return to the warrior, Jedi fighting ways of old.

The 3 episode arc he was in featured such wonderful things as 2 of the grunts punching out Obi-Wan and Vizsla dueling with him, using a stolen lightsaber.

So yeah, he's enough of a bad-ass to go up against Obi with no force powers. This is also the latest animated sculpting project... I'm doing the whole suit from scratch. I've got the helmet, chest, shoulders and top of the gauntlets done so far.

The trouble with online is that I need to see how it will move when I'm wearing it. I'm hoping to find stuff in person vs. dealing with sending out for swatches. I'll probably end up just sucking up the $35 a yard for the stuff at Joann's. It's still 1/2 the price of real leather.

No, we watched Clone Wars. If you'd said the bad-ass Deathwatch jerk-wad, I'd have known who you were talking about right off the bat. The wussy boy who sent his goons in to finish his fight because Obi-Wan and the Empress kicked his sorry butt. I just didn't know his name. :)
