Simplicity

The Simplicity pattern company has come out with a plethora of new pirate costuming patterns. I waited for the .99 sale on President's weekend, but I had to go to two different Joann's to get all the costuming patterns on my list. So now I just have to get busy sewing. Can't run around nakie you know.

Pirates of the Car. 2 Dead Man's Chest

I got to the special showing an 1 1/2 hours early only to find that they had already started seating people in 2 theaters and each one was already about 75% full. Luckily, I still got the seat I wanted, but had I been ten minutes later I wouldn't have. Some girls behind me said they'd already waited in line for two hours before they let them in. So my plan to go an hour early would have been a disaster.
Anyway, I won't spoil the film by dropping any details here. I'll just say it's creative and excellent so go see it.

Pirates of the Carribean 2

Today I get to put on my pirate persona and attend a special viewing of Pirates of the Carribean 2 at the Krikorian theater in Buena Park at midnight. I already have my ticket and hope to get there an hour early to make sure I get a good seat. Yesterday at noon the event was already 35% sold out so I bought a ticket. And hopefully being a midnight showing, it will be mostly adults there. I'll let you know how it goes.

Tall Ship Runs Aground

According to the Channel 4 news in S. Calif. a tall ship has hit a sandbar near Oxnard, CA. Four crew members were ejected when it hit, but no one has been seriously injured. Coast guard and fire crews are trying to get a line on it so they can pull it into deeper waters before it breaks apart on the jetty.

Halloween photos 2004

This is the first Halloween in as long as I can remember where I wasn't booked as a psychic reader. I took advantage of that and turned my porch into Pirate's Cove and here are the photos I took of some of the Halloween excitement. I hope you enjoy them.
