So I wasn't sure if I was really going to post today or not, but I'm antsy and hyper and bouncy. So expect randomness. I'm tired too, which sometimes makes me hyper, which is weird. I'll get tired but then can't stop talking.
I just realized I'm hot because I closed the air conditioning vent yesterday because I was cold XP Gah I can't spell! *goes back and corrects everything*
So, I've been really into the Hunchback of Notre Dame lately. I hadn't seen the Disney movie in ages so I watched it the other day, and now I'm hooked. I tried to download the book from the e-library but it was in a format I can't use (I have Adobe e-reader, can't remember what the book was) and it was in an audio book that e-reader also doesn't support. But weirdly, that downloaded anyway, just not to the e-reader. When I tried to open the file I got some message about not being able to open it because Windows doesn't something something blah blah blah I didn't understand. I figure it'll work out fine since the titles get automatically returned in 14 days. I had just downloaded Stephen King's Carrie and finished it almost in one sitting. When I start reading Stephen King I can't stop. I was watching a Stephen King movie on SyFy the other day and Dean Stockwell was in it! Ah I love him. My mom and I used to watch Quantum Leap and I thought Al (Dean Stockwell's character) was way more awesome than the main character Sam. I've also seen him in an H.P. Lovecraft movie I don't know the title of cuz I missed most of it. Dean Stockwell and H.P. Lovecraft?? Doesn't get much better than that.
Now I'm annoyed because I can't remember Al from Quantum Leap's full name. I think it was General Al Calavicci. *Googles it* Admiral. Admiral Al Calavicci. I wasn't close at all was I?
I'm bored. And I think I need a nap. My kitty is laying in our nap spot XD I like to lay on my side but he nudges and pushes and stands on my ribs until I roll onto my back so he can lay on my tummy and snuggle by my face. He's a brat, but he's a cute brat.
Oh I forgot to mention, when I was talking about the Hunchback of Notre Dame. It also got me really really interested in Gypsies. I want to be a Gypsy for Halloween so I've been doing a little research. But I can NOT find a free pattern ANYWHERE for the kind of bodice I need. At least not one that looks decent. Every kind of bodice from any other time period, sure no problem, free patterns everywhere. Darn interwebz. But I did find a pattern for a nice flow-y skirt, and I have a scarf to tie around my hips. I figure if I decided what my costume will be this early then I at least have time to get it together. I had a shirt that would have worked perfectly but I outgrew it a couple years ago. Darn. Guess I'm going to Goodwill. Come to think of it, I have a skirt that would work for this costume but I couldn't use the hip scarf with it. I know I shouldn't be afraid to clash, but orange and pale pink is a little farther than I'm willing to go. I've also noticed that when I'm trying to find pictures of Gypsies, I get a lot of pictures of belly dancers. Not the same thing!! I guess we're all ignorant gaje (non-Roma). I don't know how to pronounce that word but I bet it sounds cool XP I might try to learn a little bit of the language, impress people at church during the Halloween event lol. At my church, we have trunk-or-treat. A bunch of the church members park their cars and hand out candy to the kids who come. We don't park every year but we go every year. There's popcorn and hot chocolate and hot dogs and apple cider and music. It's way cool. If I get ambitious I may even wear this costume to the Renaissance Festival. I found the website of a group of people who go as a kumpania (Gypsy tribe) every year. I probably wouldn't be very authentic, but then, most people aren't, and I'm thoroughly convinced that most people who go to faires do so so they can dress like sluts. You should have seen a girl's "kilt" from last year.
Okay, so I just Googled "Gypsies at Ohio Renaissance Festival" and all the was coming back was "Lady Kashmir, Gypsy Queen" so I looked at the video, and she's a belly dancer. Gosh, we are all ignorant gaje.
