'puters and boobs...

       well, it's official. my computer's dead. or the screen is, anyway, and the monitor that i was using as a replacement also went out. nice bit of irony there. so i'll largely be absent from computer-land for the next few weeks as i continue to save up for the new one. hopefully that will happen within the next couple paychecks. in the meantime i've been using my parent's computer, but i don't have many chances to access it and their computer is sadder than mine despite beng a much newer model. makes me feel a little proud of my tech-savvy. the car didn't sell within its listing period, though, mostly from lack of effort on my part. i had about 50 calls and only 2 of those came out to take a look at it. the first guy barely fit in the car so i knew he wasn't going to buy it. the second was buying it for his daughter and she didn't like the maroon. very frustrating, and i'm kicking myself for not trying to sell it when i had more time, but then i couldn't afford to sell it at that point either. but that was going to be the new computer. so. here i am.

       the halloween costume is coming together better than i expected. i've been pretty nervous about my first drag experience, but i've been practicing with the makeup and i think i finally have it down. i've discovered that cream eyeliners are far superior to pencils and false lashes are a bitch. i'm ditching the lipstick, which was a little too garish even for halloween, and upon finding this nifty little padded bra thing at gordman's while shopping for lady pants i've decided to go for the boobs, which really make a difference. i'm using socks to fill 'em out tonight for a halloween party, but a friend is bringing water insert thingies to work tomorrow that i'll be able to use. i don't look much like flo, but it's fun. i'm sure pictures will make their way to facebook. and by the way, the lady pants make my ass look awesome. but let's just say i'm glad i'm wearing that progressive apron. those pants leave nothing to the imagination.

       i'm off to do some sewing, though. final touches on the costume. everyone have fun this weekend! be safe.
