rivendellroseI live! I was sick for the early part of this week, after a total sneak-attack from some nasty cold-virus, but I'm mostly back in the world of the living now, just in time for my days off. I hope that lasts through - I'm sick to death of spending my weekends on the couch feeling crummy, and there's a vague hope that the weather might even cooperate for at least part of the next few days, so... yay! Silly Seattle weather - so damned unpredictable during the spring. :P
Of course, while I was sick I got absolutely nothing done except work and sleep, so now I'm struggling to catch up on all the things that I've been neglecting... and spring always puts me in a fit to take up new projects, too, which doesn't exactly help with the finishing of old ones. In any case, I have plenty to keep me busy at the moment - I just wish I had more time to do it all in!
For tonight, though, there was just relaxation.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maymargaret, miss_arel, nekokoban and I watched the 2nd Pirates of the Caribbean, ostensibly looking for costume details for the outfits Kendra and I are working on for our Pirates party next month. Alas, I will not be able to get hold of a lovely frock coat or beautiful boots like Elizabeth wears before the party, but I expect I can handle the rest of her outfit... with possible exception of the hat. And I'm very much looking forward to the makeup work for this one - not only do I get to make up Kendra as Tia Dalma (and Jessie as Random Scruffy Boy Pirate!), but I get to work on ways to make myself look tan and outdoorsy. A tricky thing with my complexion, but I'm up for the challenge! I've bought a couple of products that I think should do the trick, and I plan to test them well before the day of, to make sure they don't do anything weird. Like... turn me orange. Worse to worst, I'll buy some plain old bronzing powder and dust liberally, but I'm hoping for something a bit more realistic/impressive. If I can turn sigelphoenix completely green for a day, I sure as heck ought to be able to give myself a nice tan for the length of a party and some photo shoots.
