Still laughing.

Dig this piece of 13's latest on his most-excellent site.

Well, fans will finally get what they’ve been craving for years. A parade to honor the brave soldiers of the Empire! I say it’s about time that the Empire finally got some lovin’ from this little rock of yours, and on January 1st, 2007, you’ll be able to see it for yourself on national television. Troopers from all across the Galaxy are being brought in to represent their Units, and TK-2035, Mara Jen, and I are all going to be there to represent the Dune Sea. That’s right, kiddies, the ADPoV Troopers are going to be there! I couldn’t think of two better troopers to attend this galactic sized shindig with, and as for them? Well, obviously, they are speechless at the honor of travelling with me as my sidekick, and hot, red-headed Sithy love slave. Yup. Can’t say I blame them, as anyone would kill for such a thrilling experience. The part about hanging with me, of course… The Parade should be neat too, and I’m certain I’ll have a blast recieving the accolades to me that are far past over due.

Sithy love slave. Classic. Not too many guys in this galaxy or any other that would have the nads to call me that . . . the difference being, of course, that he can get away with it.

Got fitted for the DSG wench "uniform" the other night, as pictured in the prior post. Too cool. Pirate Chickie is tailoring them to fit each individual body style and chopping the dresses in half at the waist, which means that they'll actually fit and that having a different size on top and on the bottom isn't a problem. Mix and match. The Dark One and I will both be boobalicious, although *my* securing button isn't as tormented as hers. I think the men will be totally fixated on her button and taking bets as to how long until it pops. Hilarious. The skirts are also borderline indecently short, which The Dark One says makes my legs look *really* long. Freaking tragedy, there.

I may post some pics from the weekend in Denver. Nice city, I love my sister-in-law, but I don't do cold with any degree of skill or grace. That alone makes me think that I'll have to wear multiple suits of UnderArmor for Rose Parade. Then again, it was nice to be in a place where the concept of a fireplace is still understood.

We are going to be *fierce* in these getups.

As modeled by Pirate Chickie and Amandalorian. Of course, seeing them in the outfits reminds me that I could stand to shed a few pounds. Would *you* want to stand next to these women and look like a heifer? No.

Besides, the Rose Parade cometh. I need to do some training in any event, because the only thing I've been working out in the last year is my carpal tunnel syndrome, and if I try to troop 6 miles with no breaks, they'll be scooping up my dumb ass off the pavement along with all the horse poop.

Wow. Come to think of it, 2035 might well have a stroke if he ends up with horse poop all over his shoes. I'll have to remind him to keep his head up but watch the ground to avoid the "steaming divots". Somehow I doubt that 13 will give a crap one way or the other.

It's that time of year again.

I think about everything I have to do in the next several weeks, and it makes me wonder how close I am to actually being insane. Spouse seems to think that the mere fact that it occurs to me that I might be crazy indicates that I have nothing to worry about.

I'm not so sure.

Now, on to important issues.

I'm still debating whether I want to go Echani Handmaiden or Bastila with the peripheral costume. I'm leaning toward Bastila, but nothing is written in stone. Pirate Chickie seems to think that the white on white on white will wash me out if I go Handmaiden. I hesitate about Bastila, though, because her collar piece and belt pieces are heavy leatherwork. Ultimately, I think it'll be TK first and foremost for Rose Parade, Mando clan chick for C-4, and anything else after that.

I had a day at work today that was highly irritating, but ended in someone telling me delightedly, after I'd solved his problem with a phone call, "God, I *love* lawyers!"

You don't hear that very often.

Late on Halloween.
