Casting Spoilers, Dresses, and Love of Fandom

[holdouttrout]

Atlantis season 5 spoilers in this link. All I have to say is that I am going to be vastly entertained, both by the fan's reaction to the news and then probably by the show itself. Because...eeep! Also, some of the other spoilers are Very Good.

beanpot has some lovely, spoilery comments in her journal, too.

I have been perusing the blog A Dress a Day, and I find that my love for sewing (which ebbs and flows into projects until we get to hemming, which is nasty and awful) is coming back. I am going to make it (picture would follow if the picture loading program would, you know, work, or if photobucket wasn't down for maintenance) in a very interesting, dragon-laden, gold and brown fabric that surprises me with how much I like it every time I did it out. If it turns out, you can expect to see it at dragon*con. Yes. I must must must remember that cutting is 90% of the work, and that it is necessary to acquire notions before starting the project. Other than that, I should be fine. It looks like a fairly easy pattern. (Simplicity 4050, the short version with the edging on the hem, too).

WARNING: THERE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS.

Ooooh those casting spoilers look like fun! Good thing I don't really care about Atlantis, otherwise I might be upset about the change in command. Everything else makes me happy. ;-)

Hooyah! I was right! I *so* should have posted my prediction that Woolsey would take command! Heheh...it's going to be grand!

I love Robert Picardo. Does this make me weird? Never mind, don't tell me. But yeah, the sound of the SGA fandom going nuclear this morning was both deafening and ... um, really, really funny.

And I've never been able to sew even a single straight line, so color me impressed.

Oh, god, I hate hemming too. I used to get my grandmother to hem stuff for me before her arthritis got too bad. Now I just take stuff to a seamstress to get it hemmed. I'd rather pay then go through the aggravation. The sewing bug has sort of bitten me again too. I think it's watching Project Runway and not finding any clothes that I really like in the stores. Not to mention I'm on a vintage kick and I so do not have a vintage figure so massive modification would need to be made. I really want to get a dress form too, because it's a bitch to fit things on myself. It's tough to find nice looking fabric anymore too.

Your fabric sounds awesome. I look forward to seeing it at dragoncon.

Ooh, cute dress. And a dragon-laden fabric would be very appropriate for Dragon*Con. :)

While I am surprised about the casting, it actually does not bother me too much which is also surprising. I think there is potential for fun.

One of these days I will learn how to sew, but I do know enough about sewing to agree that hemming is the worst.

...even more glad I broke up with SGA now.

I wanted Atlantis to return to civilian control and Woolsey allows for some GREAT head-butting to be had. Very interesting choice :)
