... some CRAZY person I know said I should "actually write in my livejournal". So, as out-there as this suggestion is, I will apaprently take it.

If you are reading this, I will assume that you would like to know what is going on in my life. Well, lately I have just been working everyday, 8-4 at a security job I got for a company called SSC (Security Solutions of Connecticut) contracted to a pharmaceutical company facility located in Coventry, RI. At first I didn't really like the job but I have since gotten used to it. Though, today I had to stay for a couple extra hours with a massive headache and feeling naseous. I don't know how I even made it home.

Unfortunately, I haven't done much else lately. I'd love to start working on costumes again but I don't have much money at the moment. I was supposed to get my first paycheck today and didn't get it. So it'll be another week of scraping by for me, apparently; another week of buying only minimal food, gas and a comic book or two to keep myself from going crazy. It sucks because I go through the work week thinking, you know, I'm gonna get paid. Apparently not. I won't find out what the problem is stil I go in on Sunday.

So, assuming I do eventually get paid, I have a few things planned. I have a Batman costume I need to finish. I wanna put the finishing touches on my Han Solo costume. I also wanna make a new 501st costume. I am deciding which to do first, an AT-AT driver or an Ep.2 Clone Pilot. I will do both eventually, but I'm not sure which to start with.

Anyway, I'm gonna go read some more comics cause that is pretty much all I have time for now. Thank God I have tomorrow and Saturday off.

They obviously want me to be broke, cause they just opened up shop.indianajones.com and I want EVERYTHING. Five pages of toys. FIVE PAGES! And that's not even all of them! I've wanted awesome Indy toys to exist ever since I was little. They're making figures of practically every character from all four movies, deluxe figure sets, two-packs, vehicles, etc. And I want them all! Indy on a horse, the German truck... all of it. Damn it. I'm gonna be poor forever.

Been forever since I've written in this!

What's going on? Well, went to Anime Boston last weekend, which sorta sucked, as most people know. But it was great making new friends and seeing old ones. It was nice to debut Brad too and get such a good response to it.  I like having an awesome, easy costume that doesn't require carrying all kinds of bags, guns and plastic.

As far as costuming goes, I'm slowly trying to finish several projects. I'm currently working on a few new RE costumes, including REmake/UC Richard Aiken and RE3/UC Carlos Olivera. I'm doing an Original Series Captain Kirk costume. For Star Wars, I'm continuing to work on ANH Luke (need a wig), Jodo Kast (ongoing project) and I wanna look into an AT-At driver. I'm also updating my Indy costume for NYCC and the movie premier. I want to get a new hat, whip, shirt and pants. I loooove my new jacket that I got from Bryan.s It's so much more accurate, weight and color-wise, than my old one (which I sold).

NYCC is soon! I can't wait. It was one of my favorite two cons last year, the first being Dragon*Con. I'll be bringing Indy, Jodo Kast, Luke, and idk what else yet. I'm staying with my best friend who moved to the city a few months ago, and I'm volunteering for the con so my membership is free woooooo.

I'm almost done with school FOR GOOD. Several more weeks and I iz a colludge grajooit. I wanna look for jobs/places to live in MA, CT and NY. Waltham and NYC are my top two choices at this point. I'm already signed up for the NYPD exam in June, so wish me luck!

Not much else is going on. School and costuming take up most of my time. If I stop either I just get bored and lonely, so I try to keep myself busy. Hopefully I'll update this before too much time goes by again.

Movie marquee abbreviations are funny. (Why is the word abbreviation so long?) Just saw The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D, excuse me, REAL D, with Jeff and Angelo. It was a cool experience. Movie still makes me really sad though. I feel so bad for Jack but at least he finds happiness with someone at the end. ::sigh::

I'm almost done with Brad and Olivera! Everything for Brad is either in-hand or on its way and should be done in the next week or so. Still gotta get a huge-ass gun and holsters for Olivera. I'm excited to finally have new RE costumes other than Leon. I've been neglecting my mando, however. I need to update it some more with better parts so I can eventually convert it into either Jodo Kast or some version of Boba Fett. Thank God for costuming or I'd have way too much time to think about life.

The Last Worthless Evening
Don Henley

I know you broke up with him
And your heart's still on the shelf
It's been over two years for me
And I'm still not quite myself
You can't be with someone new
And you can't go back to him
You're beginning to realize
That it's sink or swim

I see you around sometimes
And my heart just melts
You're lookin' like if you had your wish
You'd be somewhere else
And it just breaks my heart
To see you here this way
Someday I'll get the nerve
To walk up to you and say

This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
'Cause I'll be there
When your broken heart is on the mend

Every night it's the same old crowd
In smokey rooms
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never blooms
I've been around this block a time or two
And I've made some big mistakes
But girl I promise you, I promise you

This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend
'Cause it won't be long
'Till your little heart is on the mend

People inside their houses
With the shades pulled down

God knows, we could use some romance
In this sleepy bedroom town
I know you're still afraid to rush into anything
But there're just so many summers
And just so many springs

And this is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend, baby
Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance
To show you love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long
'Til your little heart is on the mend

That you'll have to spend
Just gimme a chance to show you how
To love again
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend 'cause it won't be long
'Til your little heart is on the mend
