The Weekend of Pants

This weekend I made PANTS. Hakama. Whatever, they're pants. For most of the weekend, the highlights were lounging at B&N for three hours and using my new electric pump on my tires, but then I went to [livejournal.com profile] arafel's place on Sunday and Team Haxx0r made excellent progress. Turns out all those hours of mechanical drawing in Design 104 really made a difference. Gosh, it's so nice to be using my degree. [livejournal.com profile] arafel is an excellent teaching and very patient with me as I learn this whole sewing thing, especially when I commit dumbassery such as leaving my Whacky Stick and power cord at home. Dear self, please remember your shit from now on. It's not like I need any help looking like a moron, I can do that on my own.

But hey, pants. Not entirely done, but you can kind of tell what they're supposed to be. I sewed the crotch together! Woo!

Last night [livejournal.com profile] fadingembers and I watched Bleach 64 (HEAD AWAY FROM THE LIGHT, ORIHIME) and 9-11 of Gankutsuou. I do so love Gankutsuou, and Albert is so in love with the Count. I admit, I'm rooting for evil to win, but I am glad Mr. Football Player has a shot at happiness. Afterwards I met a prospective roommate for the empty room. She doesn't seem crazy and if she moves in, utilities will be split in three instead of two, and that's all I really care about. Then I went to bed early because I was a tired monkey. I got 8 hours of sleep for once so I woke up fine but now...I am crashing a little. Must be a sugar crash from having Lucky Charms for breakfast. But they're magically delicious dammit!

I've only watched the first 3 eps of Gankutsuou so far, but it's shaping up to be great fun, and I adore the mad crazy look of the thing. It's so distinctive and fantastical, just gorgeous - but I can see why not everyone likes it.

It's certainly a groundbreaker animation-wise. I can see why some people might get migraines from watching, but I think it's pretty cool. There are a few scenes that make me go cross-eyed, though.

Design 104 is the devil and deserves to die in a slow and painful manner.
