Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

I ended up staying in and sewing over the weekend but it looks like I should be going out tomorrow. My brother said he wanted to try some black and white photos since he hasn’t done many. He thought some of my other costumes wouldn’t translate that well to black and white so I’ll be wearing my vacation outfit for Count D.

Speaking of photos, I’ve been playing around a bit with that creepy photo my brother took of D and T-Chan hiding in the trees. I really liked the pic but realized after a while that it was somewhat hard to see the face since I was standing in the shade. My sister suggested a way of adjusting it and this is what I came up with: http://images.cosplay.com/showphoto.php?photo=1311163

Anyone going to the cosplay day at Kinokuniya this Saturday? Saw a press release about it on the NYAF site: http://www.nyanimefestival.com/en-us/pressreleases465.cfm I think I’ll stop by at some point as D’s sister since the dress looks relatively normal.

And in non-cosplay news, either my brother or mother turned up the heat too high to test it yesterday. The boiler started leaking and made a mess so we had someone over to look at it today. (Never knew that would happen if you turned the heat up too much. o_o;)

Although the month was okay for me, I’m hoping November will be better for friends. It seems like there’s been a huge amount of health issues the last few weeks for friends and their families. Just within my non-LJ group of a dozen cross stitch friends/their families, there was cancer, surgery, a mini stroke, and staph. :-( I feel bad that so many people I know have been going through a rough time but I don’t know what to say a lot of the time since I’m not good at the comforting thing.

Halloween antics

Boy, it’s not even 9:30 on Halloween and I feel about ready to fall sleep. I got to bed late last night and then woke up at 7AM because some construction crew started working on the next block over and making a lot of noise. -_-

Went into the city this afternoon, dressed as Count D, and my brother took really random pictures. Like walking around the subway, looking at vegetables at a farmer’s market, and sitting in a park with Q-Chan and Mokona from Tsubasa. XD; Not sure why he wanted to do that particular crossover again.

Oh, and I forgot to post this drabble here before. Just a silly little thing for Halloween, written for a prompt of “kaleidoscope.” The other people at the party are intended to be random pets. I assumed that D used his magic so that they’d appear human to Leon for the occasion.
