T-minus-3 days! I'm getting antsy now. My outfit is coming along but sewing is so hard!! it is such a precise art, compared to knitting. I've got the black robe starting to come together, now I have to attach the burgundy lining and clean up the edges. I realized I forgot a house crest patch so I bought one on ebay but I've given up on getting it in time for the book release. Sorry the photos are bad quality but they're reflected off mirrors. I'll take better ones of the finished product!
I can't stop watching that video of otters holding hands. I guess it was all the rage several months ago but I seem to have missed it somehow.. but it's so cute, especially at the end! Here it is in case there is anybody else out there who hasn't seen it yet.
I saw Spider-man 3 last night and it was alright, but we were especially excited to see the trailer for Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix. Mika & I are going to dress up for the movie and book release and originally we had planned on making (from scratch!) some Quidditch uniforms but as July nears we are realizing we might not have enough time to do all that. So we might settle for the regular school uniforms + making robes, which would be infinitely easier... but we'll see. I'm still deciding if I should go as Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. I did see some Gryffindor/Trojan chuck taylors (maroon with gold trim)... Also if I have enough time I'd like to try to make an invisibility shawl. If I run out of time I guess as long as I finish it by winter it should be okay.
My supervisor at work has suggested that I might be depressed, and left me some pamphlets on seeking counseling. How do you know if you're depressed? I don't feel sad or anything, just overwhelmed by an oppressive feeling of ennui. (haha!) But regardless of whether I am or not, I think I'm going to try it out and see how it is. It's something new, y'know? Maybe it'll do me good to talk to someone who's not a friend.
