Actually, I think today is Ask a Stupid Question Day, but I neglected to celebrate that one because I don’t want to be really annoying.
My own pirate hat for the renaissance festival is finally finished!
Eleanor gets to wear a bad wig for the occasion. It doesn’t look too bad in the photo with the hat on, but it really is a horrible messy wig.
On Sunday, my sister and friends and I had a barbarian party. We had meat on legs, roasted root vegetables on skewers, unsliced bread, mugs of soup, mead, and the recent Thor movie. I wanted a viking hat but wasn’t willing to pay what the stores wanted for one, so I made one out of aluminum foil. Then my sister suggested I make another one in the style of Loki’s helmet, so I threw this together in about thirty seconds. It shows.
While this hat has the advantage of allowing me to pretend I’m a badass comic book character AND keeping aliens from scanning my brain, it also prevents my mother from taking me seriously, which is the main reason I’m still wearing it around the house.
