plugging away...
Mar. 19th, 2002 09:50 pm...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):
http://www.castleblood.com/fashion/womens/vampqn.html
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!

Re: Well..
Date: 2002-03-20 07:22 am (UTC)So are you going for an outrageous bright lime shade of green? Or something "elvish?" Inquiring minds wanna know!
