featherynscale: Schmendrick the magician from The Last Unicorn (Default)
Last night, [livejournal.com profile] triadruid and I put together the fabric-y bits for my Promethea costume. I still need to dye them, but the cutting and sewing bits are pretty much done. I hung them over the railing to keep the cat off them overnight.

This morning, when I stumbled up the stairs to take a shower, I saw the costume hanging there, and thought, "Where's the other piece?". I picked up the costume, and horror! It *was* both pieces hanging together. There's not a lot of costume in that costume. Yarr.

It'll be great, though. I still need to finish the caduceus wand. So far, making that portion has involved taking apart my ritual wand to use the center pipe as a sanding block, abusing the Dremel's cutoff wheel (we have the base of a Dremel, we just lack any relevant bits or heads of any kind, really), and boiling rubber snakes. More-or-less actual conversation:
[livejournal.com profile] kittenpants: What are you doing?
Me: Boiling some snakes. Later, I'm going to nail them to a pole.
Kittenpants: Great. So far today, we've coded a website, made jambalaya from scratch, and now you're going to boil snakes and nail them to a pole. Just another Saturday night at EHQ.
Me: Yeah, well. It keeps us off the streets.
Kittenpants: It's just a lot different from the wild orgies that people apparently think we have.
Me: Hell, we don't have time for orgies! We gotta boil snakes, and nail them to poles! That stuff doesn't happen by itself, you know!

...

Our house is ... special.
