i was a little sick last Monday, and it's thrown off my sleep patterns for the last few days. like i'm still doing my best to sleep at normal-people times (which has been an ongoing effort for the last month or so), but it's been less 11-6 (or whatever) and more 2am-noon which isn't what i'm wanting.

when i did sleep last night i had a dream of a vacation that inspired me to design a modular art-deco inspired showgirl(ish) concert performance costumes for a pop star's next tour, themed Queen of the Night. i actually vaguely remember a few of the designs (but not the pop star), but it was a strange dream. like that kind of hyper detailed world building where you kinda think, "wow brain, you've really been bored lately huh?" and it's too much of everything to be real. too much detail, too much color, too much sensation. interesting as hell though.

i dunno, now that my last challenge has wrapped there's no sense of immediacy to move on to something new yet. i'm thinking about my Halloween costume, but there's really not much left to do for it, and several weeks to go still. basically i just have to figure out shorts or a skirt for it, and dig my tiara out of the box of costuming things it's stored in, then i'll have everything on-hand. still no idea what i'll be doing for it, but it's my favorite holiday, so i definitely wanna do a costume.

the weather's been pleasantly cool the last few days, which means the AC's been left off and our apartment has hovered at a perfectly comfortable temp instead of shifting from frigid to stifling every few hours. it's been great. no idea if Kyu agrees since he's been working a con this weekend, but i've been comfy at least. xD
