pezNational Express is doing rail works on the bank holiday weekend. What kind of bastards are they? (Yes, yes I know the reasoning behind it, but still! I really have no love for this TOC.)
This week I really want to do something about the garden. It's got so bad a gardener needs to be hired. Wonder how much that'd cost me.
Urgh, I've just been given a really complicated job to do. What's all this project management business? As a supply-chain member? Do you have to find the deepest end to throw me in?
Sewing lesson of the week: avoid metallic threads and fabrics at all costs. If I'd chosen grey pleather instead it'd have looked 500 times better, which will make it far more rewearable. Gah, dammit. I'm extremely pissed off. Maybe I'll go over it with pleather later, even if it means the stitches will go to the lining layer.

dystopiarcadia is going to the Cosplay Ball with me. *_* Apparently we'll be ballroom!Emma and ballroom!Dave... well, when I stand next to her I'll become ballroom!MiniDave. XD So, I need your opinion. Which is better?
1. Dave in white tailcoat, with green and red lining (Athlum colours). Tailcoat still has sword pattern on the back and is sleeveless so that he still gets to wear armwarmers (or nice white gloves, but that'd be too gay even for him) plus those black straps on his right arm. Nice shirt (sleeveless of course), maybe cravat and sash, white trousers, white shoes... not sure why, I just don't see Dave in black. The downside of this is it'll be hell to make since I can't find white tailcoats to buy anywhere to modify. I don't know how to make the collar AT ALL.
or
2. Dave in his usual coat, but nice sleeveless shirt underneath, cravat, sash, armwarmers, smart trousers, white shoes. It'll be way cheaper to pull together, more recognisable and far easier. Maybe it means I'll get time to make a Torgal-plush. ∑:| I think, since I don't really LOOK like Dave, maybe recognisable-ness of outfit would help. But this is a less exciting option I guess.
Aaaand I don't know what Syl will do with ballroom!Emma. But she's very artistic so I'm sure she'll come up with something really nice. And this time I'll be using the tanning spray. XD And getting magnetic earstuds that actually STAY there rather than disappear into the wilderness within a minute.
