we're all perfectly clear on what we're ignoring
Getting that apple-scented candle at Hannaford was such a good idea; my whole room is now engulfed in autumn-scented deliciousness.
It's been a satisfying weekend. Saturday involved tons of fun and a whole lot of hanging out with friends - of course, those two things are practically synonymous. Today was quieter, but I'm pleased with what I accomplished.
The big item on today's to-do list was finishing up a costume - the one I had gotten about 85% completed before PCM but then gave up on. I wanted to wear it to Weekend Anime's cosplay potluck tomorrow, so I finished it up, then washed and dried it to get the wrinkles out. The last part was perhaps not entirely a good idea. I am not an amazing seamstress, and now the dress is starting to fray and has a few iffy seams. Still, it's wearable for tomorrow, and afterwards I can work on it or rip it apart and use it for a pattern for a new costume or something.
I spent much of the rest of the day writing in my (paper) journal at Panera Bread. (Yes, I was writing in my diary in a cafe. I was even listening to angsty indie rock on my iPod at the same time. I occasionally enjoy reveling in cliche.) I wrote something like 12 pages - granted, they're short pages, but that's still the most I've ever written in my journal at one time. I was musing on a certain ongoing situation, about which I am very much of two minds. I was hoping writing about it would give me some clarity, but I am just as indecisive about it as I was before. On the other hand, I'm a lot more calm about the whole thing, so it wasn't wasted effort at least.
It's almost midnight and I need to get some sleep so I can hit the ground running at work tomorrow - I'm still so behind, eep. So it's bedtime for me.

Committing to a cosplay can indeed be pain, which is why I rarely do it. But it's fun occasionally. Can you think of any characters offhand who wear kimono? Because that is probably the easiest thing in the world to make.
