Membership
I got my grey postcard in the mail today for dragoncon membership! Since it was grey, I almost didn't see it in the midst of all the other mail. But it was there, rerouted from Michigan. Now I can sell/transfer my pink membership card. So I did manage to get the eternal membership.
Still working on costumes, but I get to drop the Share one since Michael Shanks cancelled. I so wanted to tell him that I play him in real life (minus the world traveling). Maybe next time
Need to supply the Brittrack with quotes
Need to make the scavenger hunt list

Prospectus done
I just finished the last touches on the prospectus. It is 44 pages (was 80 before I put most into footnotes, and shortened to be able to read it in 60 minutes). And the bibliography that goes with it is another 20 pages.
So, in other words, I already have a great start on writing the dissertation.
Chapter One - mostly done
Chapter Two - a little work done
Chapter Three - alot of work done
Chapter Four - alot of work done
Chapter Five - a little work done
Chapter Six - alot of work done
Chapter Seven - no work done
Appendix - translation just needs to be typed and polished

ZWACK
I was walking down the liquor aisle at the local grocery store on my way to the fish department and saw bottles of Zwack. If you haven't tried Zwack; its like robitussin and alum with strong alcohol.
It's enough to look at other people drink it to know that I never want to. But it is fun to watch others try it.

Lets have FUN FUN FUN, In the SUN SUN SUN
For those of you who used to be fans of the series, I found the following on the Dave channel's website:
"Red Dwarf is returning to Earth for a brand new two-part series exclusive to Dave. Exciting eh? Yep, for 8 series Dave Lister wanted to return to his home planet and now, at last, he will. Reuniting Chris Barrie as Rimmer, Craig Charles as Lister, Danny John-Jules as Cat and Robert Llewellyn as Kryten, Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will premier on Dave on Friday 10th April at 9pm.
Written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will begin filming on Monday 16th February. Over the Easter Weekend 4 brand new episodes will air – the 2 episodes of Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will be followed by Red Dwarf: Unplugged which will deliver the cast of Red Dwarf as they’ve never been seen before – no sets, no effects… and no cue cards. The weekend will climax with Red Dwarf: the Making of Back to Earth, a behind the scenes special from the new production."

Pathfinder
Tomorrow I'm going to Marmalade Dog, so I made my first Pathfinder PC.
Gabriel (after the angel) or Vala (after Stargate)- can't decide on name yet
She will become an Arcane Archer with Celestial Bloodline
So right now she is just a ranger.
Str 16, Dex 19, Con 12, Int 7, Wis 7, Cha 13
I imaging her being alot like Cersei from Game of Thrones, if Cersei could act like she wanted to (like Jaime).

[Link] | I really want to see Taken. Liam has a sexy voice.
Marme Dog is the same weekend Taken premieres, so I'll have to wait to see it.
So for DragonCon this year, I decided on a few costumes:
I'll keep the Ultimate Kitty Pryde, Hathor from SG1, and Princess Leia.
New Costumes I think will be Ultimate Elektra and the Scarlet Witch
I also hope that I'll have a leather She-Ra outfit by then.

Shopping can be a full contact sport
at least I like it that way.
Gottadeal.com, the Official Black Friday Deals site(http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com) has been open for over a month so there are alot of people like me - I'm not that insane.
Its only 66 days till Black Friday and the economy the way it is today, many will want to take advantage of the useful Black Friday information, this site provides. They have already posted their predictions (http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/BlackFridayPredictions) for this years ads prices on hot items.
I'm watching the HDTV, digital picture frames, and flash drives :-)

Costumes: Which Ones???
So I will be making a few costumes, just wonder which ones I should do this year...
I am doing one from a Todd McCaffrey book and one from a Margaret Weis book.
But I want to do a couple comic ones too - something I can make into two costumes. SO either
1. Circe (from Wonder Woman and also in league with Lex Luther - so a good villain) and Shadow Cat X-Treme (Kitty Pryde)
OR
2. Elektra (the top from the movie, and the egyptian stuff, and the skirt like bottom from the comic) and the Scarlet Witch from X-Men
