*dies laughing* Rachel used Tricia and Carmen as models for her latest photography project, and after she turned everything in, the three of them did this on Carmen’s door with one of the extra prints. I love these girls.

Gah. Today has been one stupid mistake after another. XP

First, I got my portfolio all lovely and organized for my critique at 11:30. At 11:15, I headed over to the art building to get everything set up. Then I realized I had forgotten my thumbtacks to hang my work! So I ran back to my dorm. Along the way, I thought “hey! I should print out my pirate CG to show her how I’m applying what I learned in this class! So I printed it. Then I ran back, arriving at 11:31. My teacher was critiquing another student, so I sat down to wait for them to finish. At 11:50, I started to get confused. Why were they going so far into my time? Were they already that off schedule so early in the morning? So I found the signup sheet on the wall and saw that I had signed up for 1:30. *facepalm* Glad it wasn’t the other way around.

So with an hour and a half to burn, I decided to go catch a taxi to Pierre’s, the costume shop, to get another pair of elf ears for tonight. The ones I wore for my Nightcrawler costume are permanently blue, so unless I wanted to be an elf with gangrene, I needed another pair. I leafed through the back of my Book, where I keep addresses, and I couldn’t find a listing for Pierre’s. “3rd and Arch” I told the cabdriver, relying on memory. But when we finally got there, the store was nowhere to be seen. I looked through my Book again, and there it was, on the inside cover, the other place I keep addresses. Hah. So we went to the real address and found Pierre’s. Yay.

I asked the cab driver to wait outside for me, as it would only be the briefest of moments, and it’s in a part of town where there are never any taxis, so I would have to walk quite a ways to find one (learned from experience last time!). So I went to the display, only to see that there were no ears. I asked a store attendant, who told me that the shipment hadn’t gotten in yet. Just great.

I went back to the cab, acting as though my mission had been successful, but highly disappointed inside. As we rounded the block (crazy one-way streets), a sudden thought struck me. Hey! The store has flesh-colored liquid latex! I could just paint over my Kurt ears! But because of my previous mistake, I decided that he would think I was a moron if I asked him to turn around and take me back. Five minutes I agonized. Should I? Shouldn’t I? Finally, I snapped, and asked him to take me back. He sighed loudly, clearly feeling very put-upon.

So I got the liquid latex, no fuss, paid the now rather fat cab bill, and went back to my dorm. I dug out all my makeup stuff and the old ears and started painting. But at the third layer, I realized it wasn’t going to cut it. The blue was incredibly stubborn and kept showing through. And the multiple layers of latex were building up in weird ways, getting a bit bumpy and nasty. Wearing them, I would look more like an orc. Finally, at 1:10, I gave up and went off to my critique. So now, not only will I have no ears to wear tonight, but I also destroyed my Kurt ears. Ah, well. Such is life.

Thankfully, Karma caught back up with me in time for my critique, so it went fabulously. But still, wah.

::sigh::

EDIT: And now yet ANOTHER person has emailed me to cancel on the movie tonight. Three people in the last three days. Glad I still have Rachel and Carmen. *shakes fist at the Jing, Abe, and Sam.* Hey, Allison! Do you have tickets yet?

Alicey and I just spent the last while goggling over the scaryness that is this link. I am so glad that I didn’t grow up in a family with those kind of beliefs. Holy cow.

EDIT: It is a parody! Gah, okay, feeling better now. I kept thinking that it had to be one, but gah.

24 hours until I head over to the theatre! Or should I leave more than two hours in advance. There are at least 4 screenings, and it’s on a college campus during exam week. How nuts do you think it’s going to be?

Hmm. Will wear elf ears and “Still the Prettiest” t-shirt. Perhaps will carry “Pervy Hobbit Fancier” placard (Pervy Hobbit Fanciers for Dean? Nah).

Hobbits for Dean, anyone?

It’s strange. Most people do political parody image manipulation to mock or insult something. We must be one of the first to use parody photo manipulation to support a candidate, rather than to deride. Go us.
