this and that and more to come

It's been a busy weekend and there's a few things I'm excited to talk about! But... per usual, the media isn't quite ready yet - and we can't have a post with no media, right?? So we'll just have to wait a little longer... in the meantime tho here are a couple new or interesting things in my life:

I have exactly zero clue about whether this project will turn out the way I envision. I tried to math it (tho arithmetic really isn't my strength) but gave up when it got to the point of calculating angles and said ''fuck it i'm just gonna eyeball it!" famous last words, right? We'll see what happens. 

I picked this tee up at Baltimore's annual Artscape Festival a few weeks ago and really am just obsessed. And is it just me or does the horse even have a little look of Isabel?? lol

I also picked up another pair of SmartPak Pipers during their most recent 20% sale (did anyone else partake too???). These are supposed to be the military green with black, but they're actually a lot darker and browner than I expected. And unlike the case of the merlot breeches (which were also not quite the hue I expected), I am REALLY pleasantly surprised. 

I kinda have a thing for brown anyway - as evidenced by my brown boots and brown saddle pad. None of the browns exactly match... but I also don't exactly care.

The helmet cover for my skull cap arrived - complete with a MASSIVE Charles Owen logo that was not in the picture online. Not really thrilled about that bc it seems kinda blasphemous to put one helmet company's logo on a different helmet company's helmet. Right? I have a plan to fix this tho so stay tuned.

Also - I ran into a snafu with the helmet cam mount: the damn thing fell off its own adhesive! I think I inadvertently cooked it by leaving it in the trunk of my car all day on a hot day... oops. But the company pulled through by sending extra adhesive patches and a spare mount. Hopefully it'll stay put now! But just in case, I attached the security tether to the actual helmet harness itself, rather than the mount. So theoretically if the mount falls off again it won't go very far!

But the biggest exciting thing - which I will hopefully post about tomorrow! - was actually going schooling. Obvi the helmet cam came too. This gif is such crappy quality bc it's literally a cell phone video of a video playing on my computer screen. Meta, right? But again, I am probably editing this video right now as you read this and am SO PUMPED to share it!!! We had sooooooo much fun!

So yea, that's a little sneak peek into things to come. Hope you all had a great weekend too!
