When Did I Get A Reason To Use My Hammer?

So I've finally finished ONE hammer last night, and I am not disappointed. Check it out!

Made from:

• Handle: 1/2 inch PVC pipe (cap on bottom)
• Hammer Head: 5 inch irrigation pipe (caps on both ends)
• Held together with epoxy
• Decorated with handy dandy duct tape

It will go fabulously with my Harley Quinn outfit for C2E2, don't you think?

Before I go, I have some gross/disturbing news to share with you....prepare yourself.

I read Geekologie every weekday usually, but since April started I haven't checked it out. I started from most recent and worked my way back to where I stopped reading last, and discovered that little gem of a post. Let nightmares ensue.

Then again, I finally have a bug suitable to crush with my mighty hammer!

When Did I Start Making Props?

Good morning all, and Happy Tuesday! It is a bit glum here in Chicago; rainy and gray, and just how I like it. Sorry for the silence Monday, but I was enjoying my day off from work.

So let me update you on my C2E2 costume: the props! I had only 1 real prop in mind for the Harley Quinn outfit I'm going to do, and that is 2 hammers.

Aren't they marvelous? Not finished of course, but they are really taking shape. I'll have a (fingers crossed) finished product to show you Thursday morning, but what do you think of them so far? I've never done anything like this before.

On another note, I've decided to keep at my Hannibal (NBC) review poems. Although I don't watch the shows the day they air (Thursdays) I figure I'll do it every Sunday so it gives everyone time to see it. Sound fair?

So I'm one episode away from finishing Sherlock's second season on BBC, and what a wild ride it has been. If you haven't started watching, go to Netflix right now and catch up on season 1 and 2. You'll be dying for the Sherlock experience to last much longer than 3 episodes a season. Did I mention I have "Cumberbatch Fever"?

When Did I Start Running Ragged?

Well folks, there is indeed no rest for the wicked, and money, in fact, does not grow on trees.

This Saturday I've got an Open House at my property, hopefully rent a decent amount or apartments because of it. Most of the materials are already in place, rest comes Friday. Fingers crossed on that one.

So, I've been growing ever the more excited about upcoming C2E2. Only 29 days til it all goes down. The guest list has exploded since the last time I mentioned it. Planing on getting some autographs like:

• Felicia Day (Codex: The Guild) 
• Ron Perlman (Hell Boy) 
• Jason Frank (Original Green Ranger) 
• Adam West (Batman)
• Laurie Holden (Andrea: The Walking Dead) 
• Janina Gavankar (Luna: True Blood) 

I also bought the supplies for making the hammers for my cosplay outfit. They are less the traditional Harley Quin hammer (over sized with a long handle) and are more Thor Hammer sized. I hope they well received by fellow Con-Goers.
