Holy good Gods, when it rains it Pours!!! ok, so here I am, it’s 3 days to DragonCon. 3 DAYS!!!! The Stressers are Building. On Top of Getting all of the Costumes Ready, Working on Johns Clone Armor, Building a List of what To take Suddenly I get a Letter from GMAC (my Car Loan people) telling me they want more Money. Normaly this would be fine except I re-financed my Car through the my bank and GMAC was paid off. So I had a Huge Hassle with THAT today. THEN… it turns out I had to get the Brakes on my Car re-Done and the Serpintine Belt Replaced. GAH!!!!! I need a Vacation from getting ready for my Vacation!

Watch the Gallery for Upcoming DragonCon Pictures. I will try Desperatly to Update from the Con. Well see if I can get in another Blog Post before leaving.

Can you believe it’s only 6 days till DragonCon!!! I am so nervous! This is a big debut for me and a bunch of my costumes! I hope they all look ok. Anyways, not much else going on. I have gotten some good Reviews from my Video. I have started some test work for the next video. I don’t want to Leak too much info on it yet, But with the work I am planning for it, it’s gonna be good. I will prolly be re-vamping the WizFilm pages to show the new Videos. Also need to work on that Costume page for my Main site. I wouldn’t expect any of this to be done before DC tho. Something to hold you over Until then:

Rebel Recruitment Video

Dancing Trooper

Well, I just finished the Video project I was working on!!! Yay me! Check it out HERE. The song is Man of Constant Sorrow by the Soggy Bottom Boys. It was the main song from the movie Oh Brother Where Art Thou. I hope you Like it!

Did Toby Mcguire have to go through this much pain to get in shape? ok So maybe he prolly did, But he gets paid BooKoo bucks for that. So last night I went full bore and Hit the machine at about 7-8 MPH for 15 min with a sustained HR of around 175……. Twice. Add in a set of 40 Situps and 15 pushups before the workout, and then another 40 and 15 afterwards. I have 2 weeks left before we leave for DragonCon! I want to Look as Good as Possible. Granted I know I don’t look as bad as the tron guy, But still. When I get into a character I want to be Accurate! For DragonCon, I will become Peter Parker! (: (Ok Now I am starting to sound like a loon).

Ok, You know I have mentioned how much I love the Spiderman suit. And pretty much how much I love spiderman in general. Kinda like the Star wars thing with the 501st, there seems to be a great following in the way of Comic book costuming! Here are a few links for you Comic book Costuming nuts:

Everything else is going ok. My Eye is slowling getting better. it’s not as Swollen and not as sore. This upcoming weekend is a Solo weekend. Doc has invited me down to VA Beach, but I haven’t decided if I want to go. Next weekend (the 28th) John will be back in Town to work on his Armor and the weekend after that is DragonCon (wow is it that close???) So this weekend is just me and I have a chance to Breath and get things in order around the house. Not to mention getting costumes in Order. I think I am gonna start working on a Costuming page for the Site. So I can write up about each Costume I am doing. For DragonCon, Amy and I are doing Sort of matching Costumes. Here is a Table showing what we are doing. I will be updating this table with real pictures as I have them:

Back to the grind!

My Spidey Suit Has arrived!!!!!! Check out the gallery for some Pictures of it. Of course the Real fun will be when I wear the suit at DragonCon. WhooHoo I am so Excited! It fits really well and is Super comfortable!

The weekend went pretty well. Saturday we had a Company picnic. After that I came home and Waited for Doc and Diz to show up. We hung out for a while and then went to Rain and Steves place to hang out there and go Over costumes. Got to see an Early version of Doc’s Gambit costumes and all I have to say is WOW! I will see about Uploading some Pics soon.

Sunday we went to see Aliens Vs Predator. Overall it was good. Lacked any Deep story line but hey, I wasn’t expecting to see any. It was Far too short. I wanted to see Lots more Predator Kicking the Crap out of Slimey Alien action but it was Good. Came home, Ate dinner. Got Stomach Cramps, went to bed. Now this morning I have a Really wierd Un-explained Swollen Eye. I have no Idea why. If it gets worse I am sure you will hear about it.

Life gets increasingly weird. Like, logarithmically. I went out for a drink at a club I know last night, to hear some half-decent music and possibly talk to some people.

Almost done with my Gambit get-up for DragonCon. Wacky.

As some of you know, I got called into work over the weekend. Now, Normaly this would suck, but, All I was doing at work was moving files from one place to Another and I got to use the Internet while doing so, So it wasn’t all that bad. Managed to Finish off Season 4 of Buffy and am now on the Second Disk of Season 5. I hope to have Season 6 done by DragonCon as I am dressing as Spike.

On Sunday I managed to do some Makeup tests, yeah they didn’t go so well so I am gonna do them again. Well see what Happens next weekend. By Next weekend I hope to have a Photo Layout of all the Costumes I am doing for the Con, at last count there was at least 7. I may not get to do all of them, But I will have them Ready. (:

So, its been a bit since I’ve posted, so sue me. I haven’t had that much to post the would be interesting anyway.

Well, I did it, something I thought I’d never do. I joined to company softball team at the company picnic. It was kinda fun and the kids got to play on a bunch of those inflatable things where they bounce and run around. Anyway, yeah I should work out. It was evident when my knees gave out rounding third and heading for home (scored the winning point in the championship game. Woot!). I didn’t fall but I was SO done after that. Thats what they get for making me catcher. (Technically, I didn’t catch anything either. /sigh)

Well, the rest of the weekend was spent in mucho pain. My knees were so sore that I could barely walk and I had severely sunburned my arms, neck and face. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

Well, we also took the kids out to the zoo yesterday, I looked pretty funny with the way that I was walking (pain) and the racoon face from the burn line around my sunglasses. It was fun but tack on ankle pain. If this is what getting older is all about I opt out!
