plugging away...

...Tonight's goal was to set up files for all the articles I'm supposed to be working on for the next 4-6 months.

Finally sent out my preliminary information request emails to Castle Dracula actors. (Castle Dracula is a NJ boardwalk haunted house that burnt down late last year.) I'm supposed to be collecting stories from actors about working there; it's for an article for Haunted Attraction, and will run alongside a feature about the haunt itself. This is of course the hard part - actually tracking people down! I have...four people so far that I'm pretty sure I can get stories from. (woohoo!)

One of those four is someone who's thinking about becoming a writer, so I'm sending her an extra copy of Happy Halloween I have. I figure it can't hurt..and best case scenario is that Rochelle gets a new writer. (woohoo!)

Went out and got a floor stand for cross stitch...because I want to work on a pretty detailed Victorian witch design (it's based on a turn of the century Halloween postcard)..it's going to take a long time, and I don't want to be doing it on the bus. We found a floor model of the stand on sale for almost half what it's worth. (woohoo!)

Ferret and I talked, and we agreed to let him get the X-box, and me to get this (in dark red and black, with a more serious corset added to it rather than the waist cincher):

WOOOHOOO!

(not, of course, that I know I'll have a use for it this October...but what the hell?)

I think I've even found a desktop theme set I like...I'll know in about 10 minutes (damn download time...!) (woohoo?)

So. Not a bad night at all!

Looks good. Just don't get the ugly wig that model is wearing, OK?

Okie dokie!

But we *were* eyeing up a nice shade of green to go to next..does that meet with your approval?

:D

Re: wig

[knightwizard.livejournal.com]

Sure!

If I remember correctly, you did this before, right? Or was Z just teasing?

Well..

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

..I *did*, but it wasn't intentional.

(Black temp hair color + perm = weird shade of green for months)

Re: Well..

[knightwizard.livejournal.com]

Oh I see :-)

So are you going for an outrageous bright lime shade of green? Or something "elvish?" Inquiring minds wanna know!

color

I like one that's very dark green with a sorta black undertone to it...but Maura's pushing for a more bluish-green because she thinks it would look good with my eyes, so I'll defer to her.

What I'm wondering is what the heck I'm going to do for the wedding we have to go to next month..? :O

Find a dress that matches your hair!

matches my hair

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

That would have to be tie-dyed at this point!
(snicker!)

So...did you like the purple?

Re: matches my hair

[knightwizard.livejournal.com]

Oh I loved the purple. Makes me wish you had a twin sister :-)

So you're almost halfway there! hehehe

Re: OOPS!

[knightwizard.livejournal.com]

Ah! Off to a good start :-)

Where will I wear it?

[elionwyr.livejournal.com]

It looks more and more like Grisly just won't happen for 2002. Not that Al doesn't want to do it; just that the crew is dropping like flies right now.

*siiiigh*

So I have to get my driver's license and trek out to Castle Blood, I suppose..!
ROAD TRIP!!!!
