Madamemigraine, my usual dinner partner, went out for sushi this evening, so I ate all the joe-joes.

is a joe-joe their version of an oreo?

don’t you have trader joe’s in your new neighborhood? their joe joes are the best—even better when they get a bit stale and soft. i hope you get a trader joe’s soon. i really hope that for you.

This is a picture of my freaky belly, which has a pink line right where the stitching on the inside of my waistband touched my skin—only touched it, didn’t press into it or anything. There’s a name for this condition, but I don’t remember what it is.

I accidentally included a really clear view of that thing between my fingers on my belly which looks like a freaky, misplaced nipple, but is actually a sebaceous keratosis, a harmless thingy that grows on old people. Move along, folks, nothing to gawk at here.

This is Canadian astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield, performing David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” while floating around the International Space Station. You may have last seen the space station team walking around in outer space fixing stuff.

You will never do anything this cool.

So “Teddy Roosevelt Mascot” is the best thing ive ever googled ever.

i literally can not be upset about anything ever again

This is both terrifying and hilarious at the same time.

I really don’t appreciate other people posting pictures of my father on the internet without his consent.

before i knew his name, i referred to a certain guy as “that teddy roosevelt guy.” this is what he looked like.

i also like to speak with a British accent when I first meet people, and then surprise them later with my actual Western American accent.

Ah Jason, he is a total legend. Yes, our first ever meeting in the lobby of a Belfast hotel did start by him rugby tackling me to the floor yelling “WIFEY!!”

when you’ve had a toothache for a couple of weeks, and all you can do is take regular doses of a marginally effective anti-inflammatory med but you can’t go to the dentist because you don’t have any fucking money to speak of, but then one morning you wake up and the problem has simply…gone…away!

Chaise lounge with box fan, as seen from the living room where I am currently tumblring with Madamemigraine (who I understand has just now posted the exact same picture). This is how our neighbor Donna intends to sun herself in the driveway during the balmy season here in north-central Kentucky. The hacksaw leaning against the garage is a nice touch.

And, yes, I took this photo through a screened window because I didn’t want to actually walk outside and be all obvious and shit.

The guy next to me at the Bob Dylan concert last night kept yelling, “Hurricane, Bob.” Dylan doesn’t take requests.

Dylan concert with MadameMigraine. The band was brillig, and about six songs in, they did “Tangled Up in Blue” which made it the best concert ever. We almost didn’t even mind that the woman behind us kept humming songs by the Byrds.

when it gets to be rather late in the evening, i get a little obsessed with playing songs for my daughter, who is much too polite to ask why i’m making her listen to R.E.M. and Barbra Streisand.

yesterday, my little doggie was so sick, i thought he might be dying. seriously—doggie vomit all over my bedroom and the livingroom, starting around 3:30 am. i slept beside the back door, so i could let him in and out, as needed, and at noon, i took him to our magical marvelous vet, who saved his very life with magic and intravenous fluids. today, he is 90% recovered. i’m writing this because i know you all care.

i spent a few hours alone with my 6-year-old granddaughter today, an event we call “grandma time” in our household. the two of us made bread, pictured above, and then she made a drawing of an orange tabby for me and read a book to herself while i cleaned the keys on our newly-gifted piano. i wanted to read another just so story to her, but she wasn’t in the mood, so i let that go.

i was taking skippy the wonder dog out for a late night pee when i stepped on a huge shard of glass which made this incredibly enormous incision in my dainty foot. then i bled all over the kitchen.

before this happened, i had just finished writing the second draft of an essay that i thought was shaping up pretty well, but then i got this huge shard in my foot and realized that i’m only human after all.

SerenaXiyade is OPEN for Costume Commissions

Spring has come around and my new work studio is finally ready, so it’s time to make you guys some costumes!

Here’s what you need to know about the way I work:

Simple Pricing- I ask for one flat price for the materials and work after assessing reference pictures. No hourly rate!

Proper Materials- No goddamn costume satin or raschel lace, jeez

Prompt Communication- I’ll probably message you too much about each step to keep you updated.

Local/International Shipping

Located in NYC/NJ USA- I’ll take your measurements and you can come in for fittings if you’re nearby, and if not I’ll ship you your costume!

Honesty- If I know that the costume you are asking for is outside of my capabilities or I will be unable to get it to you in time for your event, I will tell you. I would never sell you something I wouldn’t wear myself!

To contact me for a quote, please use private messaging on Facebook, DeviantArt, or email! Please feel free to use the links to familiarize yourself with the kinds of costumes I make.

Please please please do not send me Tumblr Asks for quotes! Any other questions are fine though.

WANT TO WIN A FREE CUSTOM COSTUME?

REBLOG THIS POST~!

To get the word out about my commissions, I’m holding a little giveaway! All you have to do to enter is reblog this post!

Seriously, just reblog

You don’t have to be following me

Unless you want to see nonstop Legend of Zelda and Adventure Time, and hentai on Sundays, then by all means follow me

Likes do not count

Reblog as much as you want

Just don’t piss off your followers

Keep your Ask box open so I can contact you if you win!

I’ll be randomly choosing TWO WINNERS on April 20th, 2013!

If you win:

I will make you two pieces of the costume of your choosing, to your custom measurements, and ship them to you for free!

I will send you an Ask with a congratulatory note, instructions, and my email address.

You MUST email me within 3 days, or I will choose someone else!

I will only spend $30 on the materials for your costume, so keep that in mind!

I love outfits with vinyl, pvc, and any kind of faux leather, and I love to make Vocaloid costumes, but you can send me references from anything!

I’m telling you now though, I can only make the clothes- no armor, props, or wig styling, I’m sorry!

Alright, get reblogging! <3

Last chance, 24 hours left until the contest is over! You have until 11:59 pm EST on April 20th to enter. The winners will be contacted on Sunday April 21st.
