Observations
I get to watch my first Fringe when it airs tonight. Yes, I’m easily excited. Made Timmy, ThinkGeek’s mascot, an Observer costume for the season premiere. Nobody noticed. I mean, my coworkers did. But there was no general hue and cry from the masses. I even had his name worked out, in case somebody asked: […]

Ack!
Long time, no update, eh? The photo with this post is of the cupcakes made for me for my birthday by my awesome roommate at work. We’re both obsessed with Toddlers & Tiaras, and you can see the molding chocolate decorations include sashes and tiaras and, yes, that’s right, flippers. Squee! Teeth on my cupcakes. […]

Craftiness
It’s been a week of crafting. The first picture demonstrates that I either need to get some Windex or put Photoshop on my home machine. And also that I turned my Self-Rescuing Princess shirt into a raglan. Still figuring out the whole stretchy fabric thing, but I’m pretty happy with it. Second and third photos […]

Birthdayness
Have I mentioned recently how much I love you guys? So Carrie (and Derek) and Andrea and John at work filled the kitchen with red velvet cupcakes for my birthday, and Jen decorated them with my favorite things (including polyhedral dice, the Best Friends logo, and pancakes with syrup). Then Holly and Liz schemed to […]

Magic, Day 2
Day 2 I went over to Mandalay Bay for the menswear section. Many of our current vendors were over there, and I found some license holders we’d been looking for. Project was a lot of fun, if sparkly. They had a station set up where you could get your hair done. Pondered it and then […]

Magic, Day 1
Posting this from Magic, the big apparel trade show in Las Vegas. Decided at the last minute to go. Really glad I did. The vastness of it all really puts things in perspective. Started out in women’s wear, which was intimidating. You can instantly tell the buyers from everyone else. The buyers look like they’ve […]

Chicago
I’m here at SourceForge’s gathering in Chicago. First is an image of Geoff. The lighting isn’t that poor. The camera on my G1 is. The LED in his neck is real. We headed out to Elephant and Castle for Strongbow and Guiness. Second is the view from my room. Not clickable, because the quality is […]

So I’m driving to PetSmart Wednesday night to pick up emergency cat litter, and I did a doubletake. There was a Jason’s Deli. No joke. I didn’t realize there were any up here. Friday, when I told the lunch crowd that there was free ice cream to be had, I had immediate takers. Dunno how […]

10th Anniversary Party
ThinkGeek’s 10th Anniversary party was a blast. We rented a riverboat and sailed around the Potomac for a while, whilst noshing. Death by Sexy played. And we had a super-spectacular cake made by Charm City Cakes (the bakery from Ace of Cakes). The bottom layer, which I had a piece of, was peanut butter cup, […]

Tubbeh Unicorn Says Hai
Tubbeh unicorn originally had a much longer horn, but I’m uncoordinated. He also had long legs, but gravity happened. After standing all day, his little legs ended up as small puddles underneath his huge butt. Because sometimes I forget how fondant works. Most of the time. Who has a week to let stuff dry??? Meh. […]
