Thanks to pix, I think I have a great idea for a cheap, fairly easy Halloween costume. I’m going to be Tony Stark from Iron Man.

All I need to do is get some cheap glowy circles that I already found online, cut the chestpiece pattern out and put it on top, then sew a pocket inside the shirt to keep the chest piece in place. I’m growing out the facial scruff now so I can do the whole goatee thing too. Now if only I could find an Iron Man glove that wasn’t a kid’s size I could put some wires from the chest piece to the glove and it would be totally complete.

This weekend was easily one of the better I’ve had in awhile. Saturday morning I went to JC’s place in Pawtucket bright and early for an NCW creative meeting. We’re finishing off the 2007-2008 season very soon, and we’re really trying to step things up for next season. Upgrades will hopefully be happening in our planning, storylines, gimmicks, and overall production value. I’m very excited to be moving forward in a more cohesive, business-like manner than we have in the past. It should make a big difference in the product that we present.

Saturday afternoon Mikey and Stacey came over. We went out to dinner at Friday’s (the cherry limeade slush is my new favorite thing) then came back here to watch Iron Man, hi-def of course…I’m loving Blu-ray. They stayed the night because on Sunday…

…we went to King Richard’s Faire. This was a first for me, and a first in awhile for them. We’d meant to go for years, but one thing or another always prevented it. This year the weather was absolutely beautiful, a perfect day to go. We got there right at the opening at 10:30 am and met up with Matt and Sarah inside. While we were waiting for their friends Brian and Mary to show up, Matt and I attempted to climb “Jacob’s Ladder”, which was much harder than it appeared. Neither of us could pull it off. Some of the other things we saw were the opening of the joust competition, “The Mud Show“, and the “Aerial Angels.” Overall it was a fun event, but not something to visit every year. I heard a lot of the stuff was very similar to years prior. The food prices were outrageous as well (turkey leg: $9.50 / small lemonade: $3.50), so myself, Mikey, and Stacey all waited until we left to eat.

Today was very low-key. I shopped for groceries, made my protein snacks for the week, and had plenty of time to make myself a nice chicken parmesan for dinner. I should have leftovers for a day or two with that one. Gonna need to play around with the recipe a little bit too. I winged it and it was good, but it could be better. Back to work tomorrow!
