First an update, and then some more stuff!

American Regional - I was TERRIFIED of this class. I had heard countless rumors about the teacher, how hard it was, how he kept the class for an hour to yell at them... oh man, I was freakin' out. Yeah. Actually, not so much. He's strict, but fair. He expects a lot, but I mean- why would you pay 250.00 a day (what it comes to) to not learn anything? I've mentioned that he reminds me a bit of Mr. Bondies- I'm sure some people take issue with him and his methods- but if you don't learn a TON from the class, it's your own dang fault. The class is set up a bit more competition style- with us in groups of 4, and definitely being compared to one another and the chefs picking a "best dish" from each category. I have mad plating skills, it seems- but that's not always enough to win the super best. (My potatoes can beat your potatoes, though- I'll post pics when I get them.)

A-kon - Uh... apparently right around the corner! Man, I have been so busy with school and work that I haven't thought about it at all. I'm actually kinda glad that there's no time for a real panel (just one on stenciling and one on iron lolita) because I'm kind of out of touch with the up and coming trends. (It seems that lately the division between Cosplay Loli and EGL fashion has become greater. Cest la Vie... Sailor V.... whatever...)

Sailor Moon- Made it through episode 59. Man, the whole together-apart-together again saga of Mamoru and Usagi gets ya right here. Doesn't it? No? Oh well.

Today I made some somewhat hilarious

Faust Ragnarok: Oh. How has your battle with Andrew's mother
been going? I've been told about some of the past salvos she has
fired in the great marriage war.
The Lone Bamf: Haha, nothing that dramatic. She is firing a lot of
ammo- but not really scoring any hits
The Lone Bamf: I have sort of explained that it's like when the
kids on the playground are like "Miss Cat! You eat elephants!"
The Lone Bamf: It's so ridiculous I just sort of blink at them and
go "Uh.. probably?"
Faust Ragnarok: Are elephants good?
Faust Ragnarok: I've always wondered >_>
The Lone Bamf: With enough ketchup, anything is good. (My
wine/beverage teacher has had elephant. she said it's the only meat
she's ever had where you can have a 1'x1' chunk of meat with no
bones) but Andrew had a ninety minute chat with her recently, and
things seem to have been quiet since then. Although now she's
asking him if she should visit us here. Cause.. Andrew is aware of
whether or not my family is prepared to receive guests?
Faust Ragnarok: So has Andrew moved down here?
The Lone Bamf: no, he's still at school in Bloomington
The Lone Bamf: which makes it that much more hilarious.
Faust Ragnarok: Heh.
The Lone Bamf: momz can be crazyz
Faust Ragnarok: Do you guys have any idea when el wedding of
fantabulousness is going to be yet?
The Lone Bamf: Jan 02 2010
Faust Ragnarok: I hear that.
The Lone Bamf: FREE YOUR SCHEDULE
The Lone Bamf: THERE WILL bE PUNCH AND PIE
Faust Ragnarok: 01022010...
The Lone Bamf: whoa!
Faust Ragnarok: Mirror immage!
The Lone Bamf: I never realized!
The Lone Bamf: PA:LINdROME WEDDING
Faust Ragnarok: Yup./
Faust Ragnarok: You still planning on doing two shindigs? One for
the normies and one for your friends?
The Lone Bamf: that is the game plan
The Lone Bamf: it might require some creativity, but that's what
we want to do
Faust Ragnarok: I can go to both, I like fancy suit and tie affairs,
that way it looks like you have at least one normal friend.
Faust Ragnarok: And I can go to the bathroom every 5 minutes
and change suits and put on a fake mustache so it looks like you
have lots of normal friends! It can be like an episode of Three's
Company.
The Lone Bamf: That sounds effing AWESOME
The Lone Bamf: we are doing what we can to make it a little
interesting
The Lone Bamf: I have roped an old school buddy into playing
some video game music on the piano during like... seating and stuff
The Lone Bamf: yeaaah
Faust Ragnarok: And you of course have hired male strippers to
dress like Otacon and Nightcrawler to escort you down the aisle?
The Lone Bamf: Man... how have I not thought of that idea?
Faust Ragnarok: Apologize to Andrew for me...
The Lone Bamf: What about Snake and Otacon action figures,
positioned to be making out on top of the cake?
The Lone Bamf: XD
Faust Ragnarok: YES!
Faust Ragnarok: That would be awesome.
Faust Ragnarok: But make the cake a giant pair of boobs, with one
on each nipple so as not to be indecent, and they are leaning over to
embrace eachother...
The Lone Bamf: HA
Faust Ragnarok: That way there is something for everyone.
The Lone Bamf: Man, I need to draw this out for the cake
people
Faust Ragnarok: Yeah, they'll get confused if you don't.
Faust Ragnarok: And see, the boob things works, because then
Nightcrawler can pop out of one, and Otacon can pop out of the other.
And they can wrestle in the remains of the cake. It's like jello
wrestling, but it will emotionally scar anyone who watches it.
The Lone Bamf: man, do you suppose I could get animatronic
action figures?
Faust Ragnarok: Oh yeah.
Faust Ragnarok: They may not be as small as a normal action
figure, but you could probably get something decently small.
Faust Ragnarok: And if you order them from japan they can
probably even make out with eachother.
The Lone Bamf: y'know, forget action figures. LIFE SIZE
The Lone Bamf: on the buffet table@
Faust Ragnarok: Right next to all the good food items to really
make the guests uncomfortable.
The Lone Bamf: the cocktail weenies
The Lone Bamf: but now I'm thinking we need footlong hot dogs
Faust Ragnarok: Hehe...
The Lone Bamf: and hoagies
The Lone Bamf: and banana splits
The Lone Bamf: popsicles
The Lone Bamf: and cream filled eclairs
Faust Ragnarok: You realize if you translate "cocktail weenies"
from innuendo speak it means "penis-sex penises?"
Faust Ragnarok: I never realized that before trying to think of
phallic foods to go on the buffet.
Faust Ragnarok: Also carrots.
The Lone Bamf: Hahahaha!
The Lone Bamf: sorry....
The Lone Bamf: I'm so cracking up over here
Faust Ragnarok: Yeah, this is going to be the best wedding ever.
The Lone Bamf: I'm just imagining the poor caterers
The Lone Bamf: mouths open
The Lone Bamf: stunned
The Lone Bamf: "and that's sort of my vision for the event"
Faust Ragnarok: You may have to cater it yourself, or rather get
your friends to cater it.
Faust Ragnarok: I will do my part.


Get ready to party, guys.
