I am awful at this Tumblr thing. 

Cold rainy days are the universe’s way of tell you to play video games. 

I’m a costume/cosplay nut. I seriously love all aspects of costumes. The planning, gathering material, finding the perfect boots. Just the whole process is fantastic. Not sure when or how this sorta thing developed for me. A little armchair psychology could tell you I’m so boring with how I dress in everyday life that my nerd girl personality needs to shine every so often. 

My big costume event for the past few years has been the Voodoo Fest in my beloved New Orleans. It’s a kick ass music festival held Halloween weekend in City Park. I can never half ass a costume so I always start way early. Last minute costuming is way to stressful for this pug. My costume last year was Han Solo and I bought the gun belt in February. 

This year I am totally going to go as Robin. I have always loved the many incarnations of the Boy Wonder. He has had a bazillion suits. Some are completely different and some are just tweaks on the original design. I love his Young Justice suit and think it would make for a great project. My big thing is I don’t like to sex up the costumes. I’m not dogging those who do that. I just personally like the challenge of putting together a costume they way it was designed. To me there is no fun in just wearing a mini skirt and a cape. Unless of course that is how the costume was worn by the character. 

Let the hunt for a latex mask begin! 

   I live with my future hubs, and he is a meat eating lawyer. He seriously could take down an entire table FULL of meat. Which grosses me out to no end. I am a vegetarian. Well, sorta. I’m a half ass veggie. I am what the hip kids call a pescetarian. My personal rule is that if I am not willing to kill it with my own hands I don’t eat it. And believe you me I will knock the fuck out of a crab, and get its ass in a pot. STAT. 

   So it has become a challenge to cook for us both. He has been a super sport about doing a meatless Monday, and introducing more fish into his diet. Without me asking (because I would NEVER ask someone eat or believe the way I do) he gave up pork in the house. My love of pigs is truly what started this lifestyle 5 or 6 years ago. I keep hitting the recipe wall. I want to have variety but I don’t want to deny the FH of all meat. 

  Tonight we decided to try some fake bacon. Make ourselves some FLTs (Facon, Lettuce, and Tomato). We both went into it with reservations. I went from eating meat to NOT eating meat. I never even tried fake meat. Just quit. He of course was open minded but a bit leery of something trying to mock a food as distinctive as bacon. 

 The end result was what you see below. A FLT and some sweet potato fries. We both liked the fake bacon. It still is kinda creepy to eat something that is man made bacon. The FH was down with flavor but missed the grease. His suggestion was for me to cook it with a shit ton of butter or oil next time, but he also thought the sweet potato fries would have been better fried. Damn him, and his fast metabolism. 

One of my many projects for this new old house is to make curtains for the kitchen. I have this fantastic sushi bar fabric (thanks to bigpikachica & etsy.com) that would make excellent curtains for my funky kitchen. However, I am still iffy with a sewing machine. Being a visual person I need to SEE what I need to do, not just read it. Today I began my hunt for a simple curtain tutorial. They are not hard to find, but they have been either too advanced for my current skill or just not quite the curtains I want to stare at everyday over my  store brand cereal. 

Just when all hope was lost a soft spoken man with a righteous ponytail, and a kick ass beard saved me. Beard Power!

The FH hooked up my Wii to the bedroom tv. Big mistake. There is a list as long as my arm of things I should be doing. No shit, I have 2 rooms full of boxes to unpack, BUT instead I am watching Dragonaut on netflix. It seems during the wedding planning & moving coma I have been in for the past month funimation decided to stream their entire catalog. 

I started a load of laundry so my morning was not entirely wasted. Just mostly. 

DVR is set up. Yay!

Seriously. How long MUST I wait for new Young Justice? Boo!

I have had it up to my nose with moving. I’m bruised, and exhausted. I am so sick of unpacking, and cleaning. I just have to keep telling myself that it will all be set up & box free in a few weeks. 

However, I get a wee break from my moving nightmare for the Band of Horses show in Dallas. 

It’s here. Moving day/weekend. I’ve half-ass packed & I’m ready for trip number one. Fetching the FH so he can drive the giant moving truck. 

He keeps wanting to discuss house stuff but all I care about is how soon we can get the DVR set up. 

Read!

Just like my sweet, Bourbon!
