The last couple days have been complete ass. Can’t get to sleep or stay asleep because my brain is loud and hating me, which means that I’ve got a stress stomach-ache most of the time, and when I’m awake I’m that much more likely to cry (which also makes my stomach hurt! Rock on!) because I haven’t had a decent rest. I’m probably not getting enough protein, either, between the depression-related drop in appetite and the fact that its hard to feel hunger or anything else past the giant knot of suck that is currently my stomach.

And now that I’m thinking about it, my brain totally thinks a pork barbecue sandwich from Iggy’s would be awesome. My stomach just…knots a little more.

Kind of a moot point, anyway, since its only 10 am.

Anyway. Mostly I’m just sitting here re-reading The Secret Life of Dolls and thinking about how I’m going to do a Tonner-sized superhero mask. My current plan is to lay tracing paper over the face, draw the shape I want over the features, cut it out of a lightweight cardboard (maybe an old file folder), and then cover it with fabric. Then I can add ribbon to tie it on with, and I might even line the inside with felt, to help it look more finished. Just painting it on would be so much easier, but since I can’t guarantee that I’m not going to change my mind about the project and want (or need) to sell the base doll later…a tie-on mask just seems the best route.

Look at me, being all sensible and shit. Scary.
