Been too lazy lately

I've got some pictures that I feel like I should upload. . .but I really haven't been feeling like sitting down and sorting through stuff lately. Haven't even gotten much costume work done for the past month or so, though that's largely because I've been stupid busy on weekends and working night shift during the week. For some reason I've also been on a "SELL ALL THE THINGS" binge lately with my stuff. Managed to sell off one lot of my Star Wars stuff I didn't want anymore plus a custom Sith mask I decided I didn't want to use after all. Had a yard sale with a friend last weekend and am continuing it this weekend (and probably random weekends until it's either all gone or picked over enough we feel like resorting to other means). Pulled some more Star Wars stuff to sell, but I keep wishing I had the rest of my stuff from TN out here because there's a lot there I'd like to get rid of, too. Got the Sage fly fishing reel I won from a drawing at work up on ebay; kind of hoping there's some hardcore fly fisher out there who wants it that bad since Sage is good stuff and I've got it for less than half of retail starting bid. (Hey, it didn't cost me anything so anything I get for it is money in the bank.)

Unfortunately since I'm on night shift at work now it means I've temporarily stopped bellydance lessons again. The lessons just aren't at times I can feasibly make it with work now (there are morning classes but I'm usually awake until 4 am so there's no way I'm making it to a 7 or 8 something class.) On the plus side, I FINALLY found a stable that offers riding lessons for a not stupid price out here (no, really, I'm not going to pay $85 an hour. . .that's laughable. . ). Looks like I'll be taking up western though since I'm not sure my knee can handle english anymore. Maybe I can mix it up enough that it won't be a problem. Also looking at bows again; got my eye on some Hungarian horse bows that will be sold at the ren fair next weekend, but if I don't like those (they are kinda pricey) I've got some long bow resources.

I feel a bit weird going to the ren fair without a straight up costume, but I'm going to try to at least go in quasi-ren fair esque clothing. I've never been to the Bonney Lake one before, so we'll see how it goes. (There are equestrian acrobatics. . .I'm pretty sure I'll be happy. lol) Also, I will ride a camel this time, dammit. It's been one of those stupid, pointless goals of mine for years now. And I shall make it happen. XD

On the costume front, I've got to figure out if I can logistically finish the barbarian before Halloween. It's not so much that there's a lot of work (there isn't; I'm basically converting old stuff into new stuff), but it's definitely just trying to sit down and work out the damn helmet. The mando beastmaster revamp needs new stomach wraps and the gaunts need to be finished, but I've been too lazy to even do that. Did manage to just score a helmet I've been wanting for a long time though, so hopefully going to be able to start that kit plus my brother's once both our helmets show up. Going to Rose City ComicCon in September, but I'm honestly not sure what costumes to bring yet. :/
