    Currently, slowly reading second book in the King Killer Chronicles. I say slowly because Patrick Rothfuss has been taking FOREVER on the third book and I’m not ready for it to and yet.

    Nice ... About to take my run while listening to Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. Path of Daggers almost done! Also like my sixth go round with the series but want to get through it before Amazon releases their show.

    Right now I'm reading The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

    I'm also slowly watching the original Ghost in the Shell TV series because I just finished the new Netflix SAC_2045 series. Except for the movie (which I watched years ago), I never saw the original.

    Oh, and playing a lot of Final Fantasy XIV.

    Sitting in my makeshift home office and realizing that I have a 12" Thor action figure to the right of me, a Thor drinking cup to the left, and two lego Thors (Odinson and Jane Foster) in front of me.

    I didn't think I had any action figures, but now that I look around I realize I have quite a few Funko Pop figures around my computer. From left to right there's a default pink D.Va mech, Robot Devil from Futrama, the 4th Doctor, a Tardis, a blueberry D.Va mech, and a carbon fiber D.Va mech (I'm a D.Va main in Overwatch, BTW).

    At work, we always ask new hires on their first day "Star Trek or Star Wars?" It's a trick question, of course. The correct answer is Firefly (though we will also accept Doctor Who).

    I am currently (when I am done with all the orders for masks) making costumes for the now postponed Tolkien themed Medieval Fare. I have made the Smaug wings and tail for my son and am working on the mask. I have made the hobbit outfit for my other son and am brainstorming hobbit feet. And for myself I have made a trial corset for my elf ranger (although elves are not overweight, a but of a conundrum there). I want to make ears too and then my dad still needs his Gandalf outfit. He is working on the beard himself4vy7sdva9m0j.jpg

    Uhm... impressive! Sewing corsets is no joke! Takes a lot of work just to produce one!

    I like the color choices and construction! Good work! <3

    Thank you 😊

    It was definitely a labor of love. But I think I am hooked. I already have the material and notions for the next one and the following one's pattern is in the drafting stage

    Our lovely radio station found some poll asking who the best movie hero was, Indiana Jones won.

    It sounded like an older generation got pulled, mostly 80s and 90s movies were in there. Not much of the marvel stuff that has been big more recently

    Maybe it's the iconic status that happened? Parents forced their kids to watch those 80s and 90s movies. But they won't watch Marvel, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc.

    I like Indy and all, but wouldn't get my vote.

    I'd imagine just because it was Harrison Ford.

    anybody else had played that character and it wouldn't have been remembered as fondly

    Good memories from when I was a kid. Dragging my pillow and a blanket to watch Looney Tunes and Thunder the Barbarian.

    Might have to get you to teach me your method or ask what resources you're using to make yours. I have had less than stellar luck putting them together in the past and just resorted to buying really well made ones from other artisans.

    Actually, one of the lady hosts mentioned that, she said they should have just had an "any roll Harrison Ford played" selection. Suprisingly, sounded like Hans Solo wasn't on the list.



    Also that was supposed to say *local* radio station. But they are lovely too I suppose 😆
