They are Spartacus

Madison has new uniforms, I zoned out during Cavies, I drunk dialed Tony and Justin, Regiment didn't win. It was almost a repeat of last years Show of Shows except for one thing...

This sure does look familiar.



Ours shields and uniforms were white and we had big sheets at the end of those sticks. Lets hope it works this year.

For being the first show of the season, it wasn't bad.

I'm trying to upload a video of the closer. Maybe it'll work later.

Minneapolis Summers

It's a beautiful day in Minneapolis, a beautiful day in Minneapolis....

Normally I take the bus to work but today I have to leave early to take Scully to the Vet (She hurt her leg. It healed but now it's back. I hope it's not a fracture) so I drove in. Minnesota has these really long days in the summer. I guess it's to make up for lack of sunlight in the winter (remind me to get anti-depressants in November).

Scully wakes me up at 5 to go out and the sun is almost up. At 5am! So by the time I leave at 7, it's feels like it's 10am in Las Vegas! And at night, the sun is finally down around 9:30pm. It's the craziest thing when you know you should be heading to bed but it's still light out.

And now that all those crazy storms have finally passed (my first 2 weeks here it rained every day), we've had 3 to 4 days of beautiful weather here in a row.

Oh crap, it's supposed to rain this afternoon.

I'm off to Rockford, Illinois tomorrow for Regiment's first show of the year. Seems a little late for a first show but things have changed since I marched. Speaking of, this is my 10 year anniversary. I actually missed Regiment's first show of the year in 1998 because I hurt my knee. Not that it was a great year, but I did meet Justin that summer. Too bad he won't be with me to beer it up at the beer tent.

Temporary Home

It's a little smaller than our last home and doesn't have a bathroom, but don't we look happy?

Finally Finished

My Emmeline Apron. Since I was unable to attend my family reunion, this was my contribution for the auction. My mom bought it for $15. Guess she really wanted to see how well I can sew.

I also entered it into this "Sew-Along".

I'm standing funny, it's not really lopsided. Or Justin's standing funny.




Overall, it was fun to make. The two sides are great if you need to coordinate or if one side is totally dirty, you can still look clean by using the other side. Well thought!
