the last week didn't turn out quite how i expected it to. as you're likely all aware, i was REALLY excited about the Hanson concert. Rose had asked off work early so she could go with me, and i'd invited Ashley and Kayla along. Kayla told me that if there was a Ranger game she'd have to work Saturday, so that didn't happen, and on friday Ashley decided that since she didn't really know any of the songs by them, she'd rather spend time with me otherwise, so we agreed to meet for lunch before i was set to leave with Rose. lunch went well, i had an awesome time, but after i got home while i was looking up directions to the fairgrounds, i saw a notice stating that the concert was canceled due to illness within the band. pretty sad, but it happens, so i called Rose and we rearranged our day of awesome by heading out to the nearly-dead mall with its super-cheap theater and seeing Footloose. after that we browsed the Dillards clearance center (i think the only open store in that mall) then headed to Sonic for food. at Sonic we got a message from Jenni that she wanted to see Footloose too, so we said find another showing, it was good enough to watch again! xD so we saw it again at the expensive theater in the good mall. xD it was really good. in some ways better than the original, i think. not by miles or anything, but it cut out the drama!bits and shifted around a few details to make things flow better. the biggest change (Ren's mother being dead in this version) actually serves to make the most "okay what?" moments from the original actually make sense in this one. i very much enjoyed it.

my Sunday was spent working on a modification to a toy i got in a blind-packed box while trying for another. tokidoki does these cute designer toys where there's a few designs and you don't know which one you'll get when you open it, but that mystery makes you wanna keep trying. i ended up with this rasta-unicorn(pegasus) while trying for the cute rainbow one from my Thor tee-shirt (see below), which i did end up with eventually. since i have no interest in a rasta-corn, i spent Sunday alternating between modding it onto something cuter, and looking at houses i can't possibly afford to live in online. xD the good news is i found Kyu's dream home, the bad news is it's like 2 million bucks. i'll be sure to get right on that whole becoming a multi-millionaire thing.

for the conversion, i cut off all the dreadlocks and fluffed up the tail and gave her short curly hair, that started to resemble snakes halfway through, so i went with it and made myself an equine gorgon. i think i'm gonna call her Maddie. xD she's still in the 24hour curing stage of working with grey stuff, but i should have her re-painted and ready for finished pictures later this week. xD i plan to do her flesh in a rusty bronze, with green hair and either onyx or pearl hooves and horn. the in-progress pictures are blurry, but i'll do better when she's done. xD i dunno if you can tell, but over one ear i actually gave her a little snakey companion.. i think it's cute.
