I've had a very busy yet boring week. For the last couple of weeks I've been sitting behind my sewing machine almost every day trying to get my costume for Anime Expo done. I'm working on Meg from Burst Angel. You can google "burst angel meg" for pictures if for interested. It's just a lot of tedious work with yellow and some of it is even hand sewing. God forbid! Anyway I've been taking pictures every now and then so I'll get some production photos as well as a final product picture. My friend is also cosplaying form the same anime and so we'll be taking photos at the convention. I'm pretty excited about it, but it's just stressful to get everything done in time.

I had a fairly interesting conversation with my mother today. We don't really talk to much because she's on the other side of the country. Anyway, when we do talk there is a lot of catching up to do. So today I had a very interesting catch up conversation. I found out that my brother's god father, that we call "Uncle" passed away. Even worse, he passed about a month ago and we didn't find out till today. Apparently my younger was written into his will so we found out when the lawyer or whatever called to speak to him. He had been sick but was doing better, but I hadn't heard from him in a while.

We also had a conversation about me living my my fiance. At least she really didn't freak out too much. She just said that I haven't lived near them in a long time and I can make my own decisions. So even though it's not what she really wants she's not really angry with me. She also demanded a decent picture of us for her desk at work that still has an old picture of me and my ex-boyfriend in it. And she cheered up a bit when I said we were going to try and come out for Christmas.

Also one of my childhood friends is getting married on the 20th this month. So I got news of a death and a wedding in one phone call. I felt like I was missing the announcement of a baby... Anyways, she wants me to stop by and say "Congrats" and whatnot.

My brother has a girlfriend that he's been dating for a couple of months now and my parents really seem to like her, so good for them. I love my little brother so much, but I still think he's like 10 and not 19 so sometimes I just want to squeeze him, but probly shouldn't.

I also let her know my grades have been posted from this past semester and I got 3 A's, an A-, and a B. Both she and myself are pretty happy with the outcome. And I'll be graduating soon so that's good to. The economy, however, is not.

I think that's about it for me for now. How all is well with the outside world!

Peace, Love, Anime
