Still working on the costume.

And packing for the weekend. I'm doing a show in the little town up north (lower peninsula) where my parents live.

I've got the show stuff all packed in the car. Now I'm just trying to take the next four hours and work on the costume. It's either a) awesome, or b) boring. I can't decide.

I've finished one piece, which took some time, and now I have to work on the Big Piece and the hat. The BP is really being rather stubborn and not responding to repeated attempts to customize it.

Also, must go through storage closet one last time to look for one thing I really need to make the outfit complete.

Have volunteered to run some freebies over the border with me when I travel to Prophecy next Tuesday...it's for Snarry people. Should be fun. What the hell, I have plenty of room in the new vehicle.

Will be home for another four hours, and then...

...back on Monday.

Will miss you all very much.

Oops, had to rec this.

As usual, trickofthedark has created an amazing art/fic. It's called Platform 9.99999999999999999999 (MASSIVE SPOILERS for DH) and it's absolutely fantastic.

Don't let the apparent simplicity of her artwork fool you. This is a harrowing read, though lighthearted, which is very much her style; what I've read by her is usually somehow...pragmatically haunting. Realistic and yet fantastic. She writes and draws the most interesting mix of these opposites I've ever seen.

The story isn't easy. It's very complex and sophisticated, and yet...simple and to the point.

It's short, and says so many things about the ending of DH. It pulls together ( many themes. )

I adore this story.

I'm kind of wishing that someone had written a review of DH that consisted of only two words...
