Obsessive Compulsive Me strikes again

Because I got irritated with the pop-up ads while trying to upload my Harry Potter essay series, I decided to set my Tripod account back to show the darned banner ads (ugh!). That means I'll have to reformat Magical Melodies, which is just as well, I guess..... It will have to go down for some weeks though. :(

Aside from getting irritated with pop-ups, I got irritated with the weird layout of this training manual I'm editing for work. The result? I got a softcopy and decided to edit it myself, and reformat if necessary.... The catch? It's needed by October 20. It's 120 pages, and needs to be copied 31 times, and then bound. Ah... there seems to be a lot of work ahead of me next week....

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I've finally put up my series of Harry Potter essays collectively known as "All I Really Need To Know I Learned From Harry Potter (Magical Thoughts on Muggle Things)". Now to think about what I've learned from Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Heehhh.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I think I shocked Joran yesterday when I started talking about researching Star Wars costumes. Hehehhh. I think I shocked myself too. I've always said that I'm leaving costuming to the others. But... for some weird reason and maybe some weird bug bit me last week, I just surfed and hunted down costuming tips....

No, I ain't wearing Slave Leia (sorreeeeee) or revealing Padme! But I have been looking over some very cool Padme costumes.

Like this Senate gown that was cut from the theatrical release of Attack of the Clones...



Fabulous but too ambitious. Heheh. I've decided that this lovely and comfy blue dress she wore on Tatooine is more... me... *grin*



Now if only I'm able to get the materials in time, maybe it can make the next Convention....

But my ultimate Padme costume would have to be this...



Yes, the wedding gown. It is just way too lovely to resist. Wouldn't you love to get married in that? I sure would. (geek! geeeeekkk!!!)





Cool... especially considering Trisha Biggar made the actual costume from an antique lace bedspread..... Hrmmmm.... So of course, this would be a dream costume. As in dream on until you can find large quantities of lace....

But I think I'd better concentrate on the much easier Yoko get-up from the Animatrix episode, "Beyond", for the Revolutions opening. I shocked myself again, when I decided to go around the mall trying to find the requisite pieces. The blue hair will be a problem though.

Happy Birthday, Mom! Love you. :)
