fannish observations of the day

1. It's impossible to write horror while listening to Snow (hey oh) by the Chili Peppers. SG-1 keeps wanting to break into song and join in the chorus, and that's just a teeny-bit of a mood breaker.

2. Careless googling up a bear costume for my kid leads to some VERY SCARY PLACES. trauma, people. (and if you don't get why, I'm not explaining it to you...)

3. I did three episodes of my Baal Rewatch (woo hoo!) last week before costuming took over my fannish brain. Comments later. But in brief: Baal is hot, I love the S5 team, and I will never be able to watch Summit/Last Stand without rewriting it in my head with Martouf alive at the end (as it should've been OMG).

4. The tunic for my C-Bucs costume arrived today!!!! I had to order two sizes up, but it's not as huge as I feared. I'm not small, but I'm not exactly Trucco-sized either. I thought I might have to take it apart and cut it down to fit, but I'll be able to take it in, if it won't shrink. I don't need it to be as tight on me as it is on him anyway.

Which reminds me that I need to get the patches sewn on my green military shirt thingie...

Green shirt? What green shirt? *perks up ears* Do tell.

Why the one to go with my green trousers, combat boots, and double tanks, of course.

I've got dog tags, but... Do you have any idea where I can get rank insignia? *looks hopeful*

Awesome! :D So I won't be the only person dressed up, \o/. We could do the costume contest together and be the Caprica Resistance. Now, if only we could find a Cylon for us to "shoot"...

uh, points you in the vague direction of The Colonial Fleet (http://www.thecolonialfleet.org) cosplay group. I'm not a member or anything (remember, I started this only Friday...), but that's where I found the info on the pyramid uniform and most of what they seem to do are the uniforms.

Well, I poked around there and came up with nothing. Oh, well. But I *did* just find exactly what I wanted offered on eBay, so here's hoping $10 will work... :D
