May. 21st, 2004 01:53 pmtime for my monthly update.
con went well, costumes turned out great. there were one or two flaws that i plan to fix for anime evolution, but other than that they were very good. i enjoyed the con a lot, and i think i succeeded in not making stark more stressed out. i have some pictures to sort through and i'll try to put them up here for my next monthly update.
i've started teaching someone the basics of fencing... she's an escrima fighter who realized that the footwork she's having trouble learning originated in rapier fighting. so she's learning rapier. we had our first practice session yesterday. it went well - we had fun, neither of us felt stupid.
my fencing glove got a hole in them, between the right index and middle finger. need to find someone who's willing to shop for me at pennsic, because i haven't been able to find those gloves anywhere else. my alternative is to find a leather tailor in the area who can make me a new pair for $80 or less. so far everyone's said they can't do gloves and i'm out of luck.
still working at icom. same old, same old. mickey (the boss) gave me an icom jacket because the parts room is always freezing so i wear my parka all day. it's a nice jacket. no one else in parts has one despite the fact that they've been begging for them for months.
stark wants to get a gecko. i'm resisting, although i have no reason to and i'm sure once he gets it, it'll only take me a week before i love the thing.
there were some new positions available at stark's work. he didn't apply for one of them because i'd have to start taking the bus again, and he got turned down for the others. i should have just sucked it up and told him to apply for the one he needed the car for. feeling pretty crappy about that.
other than that, everything's rather boring.
