Do you guys remember last time how I mentioned that life was currently a whirlwind because so much was happening all at the same time? Fanime is done, Anime Expo is around the corner, my FIDM final projects are all within the next two weeks, and on the weekends sometimes I’m a midwife for dogs.
That’s right. Between burando/conventions and being a grossly exaggerated fashion student, I pull puppies from egg sacs and shake them until they’re terrorized into living.
I’m just kidding, I actually know what to do. Not my first time doing this. I’m so grateful they chose to be born on a Saturday.
These babies aren’t technically my babies, though. They’re under ownership of my grandfather and my uncle and they’re calling on me to check the puppy progress every week. I’m just making sure everyone is healthy and growing strong and I’m providing instructions on what to do each week, and that included how to bottle-nurse and what to feed momma.
These are from today’s check-up. :> There are 7 puppies, but considering they all look like little cows I can’t remember each of them particularly. They’re exactly two weeks old now, and they’ve almost tripled in size since birth. Their eyes and ears are starting to open at various degrees, and you can tell by pirate-face in the corner. C: They’re 3/4 beagle and 1/4 corgi, and the parents (and grandparents!) are wonderful dogs. My babies are always the best.
Once they hit two months they will be available for adoption locally. Until then, I’ll be enjoying every week I have with them.
BACK TO FINALS.

Doodle of Noble Steed and I in the Dealer’s Hall. Somewhere.
I didn’t do any homework at Fanime. These last two weeks of FIDM will be suffering. :’D
I have tons and tons and tons of updates I want to share on my blog but I’m still trying to be a responsible student. There’s my first adventures to Fanime and San Jose and photos to edit and puppies. Glorious, glorious puppies. 7 of them.
If I could condense Fanime into 1 words, that would be interesting. Interest of so many extremes of bad and good that I’m almost happy to hit the school books again. At least it’s not suffering and parties and some fate trying to smash everything together like it’s funny.
I do have to mention this. I hope Shell gas stations explode. You don’t lock your doors indefinitely on a crowded highway and ignore the desperate cries of a maiden outside. I freaking looked into your eyes, why didn’t you let me pee? I should of just wet your porch. >:c Take that.
But I didn’t because that probably would of made me a sex offender for life and Burando Mommy and Noble Steed would of never let me live that down.

FanimeCon 2012 is in less than 10 days and I’m sitting here thinking about the work I have to do for school. There is a 30-something page report due the week after, and a plethora of other projects due around the same time. Everyone else is already out for summer but I have to continue with the summer semester at FIDM.
On the other hand, I’m in LA now, comfortably or not. I’m still settling in with Noble Steed but thanks to summer Burando Mommy will be nearby to visit a lot. :>
Calm as I sound in digital text, I’m actually in full panic mode. And when full panic mode hits, all I want to do is sleep. But I’m going to be the loser at Fanime who leaves the night early to “do homework.”
And it turns out, I’m actually doing homework.

Victorian Maiden, Lace Chiffon Doll Dress
First, I did not know tumblr updated their photo posting selections. This was probably ages ago but I’ve been wondering how those collages where being done. What can I say? I’m a slowpoke.
Second, when payment comes through tonight I’ll be letting go of this baby. This was a dream dress of mine, but I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m just too tall for those adorably shallow armscythes and I finally managed to let it go.
But in exchange?
Enough money for a dress form.

Have a sneak peek at what I’ve been working on for the past month.
It’s almost done, and it’s hungry.

Check out the bodice and neckline on this vintage 1970s Gunne Sax dress.
It’s so beautiful I want to have babies with it.
I copped from a fabulous local vintage store that used to be called American Vintage. but it seems like they changed their name to Memo’s Vintage. They’re extremely well organized and the prices are fair for actual vintage items. I like to take Burando Mommy here because she was built for the 50s.
I normally pass on vintage because it always seems like I’m stuck between a 22” waist and a 40” bust, but I found this jewel last week. I’ve never heard of Gunne Sax before, but they’re a fascinating old company, flourishing through the trends of space and time by keeping themselves current. They specialized in formal to semi-formal wear, and the modern day brand, Jessica Mcclintock, does taffeta and satin prom dresses.
So basically I own someone’s 70s prom dress, but it’s the perfect summer dress now!
Wally is absolutely fascinated.Gunne Sax takes absolutely no prisoners. To wear their vintage dresses you’d better be 5’ 6” with a 32” bust and 26” waist. I am short by an inch, so an inch had to be shaved and hemmed off.
That’s pretty much what I do on the weekends, orz. I could probably benefit from more fashionable bedsheets.

This has absolutely nothing to do with anything but I’m really tired of people comparing The Hunger Games to Battle Royale.
I don’t care which you prefer, but stop saying Battle Royale is superior because it’s Japanese. Worst of all, stop saying the Hunger Games ripped off Battle Royale. Yes, there are similar plot devices in both stories, but in the end they’re used for completely different purposes. And I liked them both.
Because really, if The Hunger Games was a rip-off of Battle Royale, then Battle Royale was a rip-off of The Running Man which was a rip-off of Lord of the Flies which was a rip-off of 1984.
And honestly, even if The Hunger Games took inspiration from Battle Royale, I liked how The Hunger Games handled the murderous children concept more. At least I gave a damn when Rue died. I just wanted everyone to die in Battle Royale.
On the other hand, I’m really, really excited for The Avengers. Did I ever mention I’m an action-junkie?
I’m only referring to the movies.
