We had a very good group session today. I think it is not only going to be a really good project, but that we are all still going to like each other by the end (of this one). Just a matter of finding studio time next week since the timetable is...buggering screwed as usual.

I have found a fabric store that specialises in Italian fabrics and silks and such, so I am hopeful that a trip up there (by which I mean the city centre) will yield appropriate fabric in a matching colour to my dress that won't cost me a massive fortune. If so, I have found the perfect mask, which is a bit expensive, but I'm willing to splurge. I'm sure I'll find another masquarade to go to...at some point. Just have to figure out what to do with my hair so that it'll work with the mask.

The ball is in June, by the way, and I have no date.

I think I have a costume for Valentine's Day. I just have to make it, and it's not going to be spectacular, but it'll do. I also have a great idea for St Paddy's Day, but I am not sure where to find said costume. It's beyond my capacity to make without a sewing machine. Ironically, I have the perfect dress in my costume closet at home - that I have never actually worn. But since the shipping cost would be ridiculous, I might as well spent half the money on renting something. Just have to find something to rent. And grow my hair. Or find a wig.

I found the most gorgeous dress trolling through costume shops online today. I mean, stunning. I think I want to get married in it.

Legend of the Seeker got renewed for a second series. I am insanely pleased about this, as I am quite starting to enjoy the fact that the tv series is seperate from the books. It makes it even more fun when unexpected things happen or new characters show up. But the things I loved about the book are still there. Ultimately, moving between mediums is difficult, and I know we all had our own problems with LOTR, but I still adore those movies.

For me, LotS is sort of all new (except, not). I like being on the edge of my seat. And now I get another series of it! Specially since the rest of the Sword of Truth books aren't lasting me as long as I thought they would.

Damn reading speed. Or damn Terry Goodkind for reeling me in so fast I can't stop!
