It's beginning to look like I only post about once a week. Ah well, I guess that's okay, since my day to day life is rarely exciting enough that it requires daily posts to keep you all updated.

So, stuff since the last time I posted...

1) Jerome, Jesi, and I are going to DragonCon in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend. So far, this is looking to be an exceptionally good and interesting time. I haven't been to a REAL con in ages, and the last one of those I was at, I was running a temperature of over 100 degrees, and was basically delirious the whole time. Getting sick the day before you're supposed to leave for a con sucks. :(

Any rate, yeah. We will be seeing The Cruxshadows, Voltaire, and The Last Dance play, along with the possibility of also seeing Abney Park and/or Ego Likeness play. Just the top three make me happy. The possibility of the other two as well make me super happy! :) Aside from the bands, there are a whole crapton of panels to go to, and there will also be drum circles, which equals belly dancing. w00t! :) Gaming? Nah... we prolly won't do much of that... just because it's a gaming convention, that doesn't mean a damn thing... ;)

2) Moxie is doing well after being spayed last week. She's still sorta walking slower than usual, and not jumping around as much, and we have to keep telling Vlad that he can't play with Momma how they usually play, but other than that, she's good. :) I suspect that when the time comes for Vlad to get neutered, he'll have a much easier time of it... :)

3) Been doing a lot of cleaning and getting rid of crap I don't need recently. And if anyone who reads this is interested in a pair of womens' size 5 black Doc Martens, E-mail me. :) I've got someone they MIGHT fit, but I think her feet are actually smaller than that...

4) Gaming all around is going pretty well. I'm in 4 LARPs now, and trying to get a TT game started. Still playing Daisy Green (Malkavian Prince) in Ashes and Dr. Luisa Dunsirn (Ventrue Seneschal... soon to be Prince) in Riddles. I started playing Mehnit (Serpent of the Light Priestess) in Echoes in the Night, which is a new Sabbat game in C-dale, and I will soon start playing Anastasia (Ravnos antitribu) in a new Sabbat game in Marion... or at least that's the plan. There's also a "waiting in the wings" LARP, in which I'll be playing Lola, a Daughter of Cacophany. w00t! :)

As for the TT game, well, it's supposed to be a Firefly / Serenity game. Unfortunately, only Jerome has finished making his character so far... and I technically only have 2 players... and I don't have a night to run that, either... *sigh*... I also wanna run Werewolf, and I started a one-shot Sabbat TT game that never got finished with Jerome, Bobert, and Morgan.

And that's about it in my life... well, at least the bits that I'm sharing with the world... :)

Okies, so short version of everything.

1) Jerome's birthday was mostly kewl. Him being sick for part of his birthday wasn't kewl, but other than that, it was okay.
2) Ozzfest rocked. Nuff said. I didn't get too badly sunburned, either.
3) The internet works in my apartment again. *happy dance*
4) I dropped Moxie off at the vet this morning to get spayed. Oi. I bet she's gonna hate me now. Vlad, being the little cutie he is, tried to bust her out of the cat carrier this morning. :)

And that's pretty much about it. Lots of craziness in the works, but it's all in the works at the moment. The parts that I will mention are that I may be starting up a new TT game soonishly, and I may be trying to sell some of my yarn on eBay, because I have WAY too much, and almost never crochet anymore.

I need to make some pillows for Jerome, though, because we moved his TV and all that into his room last night, which means we can lay in his bed and watch movies, but he only has a few small pillows. So he needs more. :) And I told him I'd make something to hold the remotes that he can hang on the headboard, so that they're easy to get at. Maybe with a skull on it. :)

And that's about it. Working on backgrounds for a couple of characters, working, and trying to sleep occasionally. :)

Vacation begins in 25 minutes. *happy dance*

That's really about all I have to say at the moment. Working on getting the last little bits of stuff cleared from my desk. I'll be back on Monday, though it won't be first thing in the morning, as that's when they're scheduled to fix our internet.

So everyone have a good rest of the week, and weekend following it.

Me, I'll be sleeping late, and then rocking out at Ozzfest. *happy dance*

The land of no internet now extends to my apartment as well, at least temporarily. It sometimes pops back on briefly, but mostly, it's not on. This makes Dawn a sad monkey. :(

But I had a good week last week, and just forgot to post. :) And then I had a good weekend. :)

My tattoo has healed up nicely, and while it might need a tiny bit of retouching, I think it's mostly good. My thumb is getting somewhat better, though it looks hideous at the moment. Hurrah for the skin reknitting itself... I know it would be a whole lot better if I could keep it from getting wet for a few days, but I like showering, and sometimes the dishes have to get done.

I'm to the point now of getting really excited about Ozzfest. Due to my extreme paleness, I'm making plans to cover up as much of my skin as possible, so as to avoid being horribly burnt. So I have a long tulle skirt that will basically keep my legs out of the sun, while still allowing any breeze there is to keep me cool. I'm working on altering a silk shirt now, to make it more comfortable and cuter. And again, with that whole covering my arms, but still being cool.

Of course, I need to get the shirt done tonight, because tomorrow after work, I'm heading out to Marion, and will stay there until we leave for St. Louis on Friday. Whee! :) I like mini-vacations! :)

I like real vacations more, and, well, if things pan out, I may be getting one of those this summer too... but I'm still waiting to hear for sure about that... :)

I have returned from the land of no internet.

See, at about 3 p.m. on Friday, my boss asked me if I wanted to take Monday off work. Because it was kinda silly to work Monday, and then not Tuesday. I said of course. I get tons of vacation time every year, and tend to not use much of it. Luckily, it carries over to the next year, so I end up with even more.

But yeah, doing so meant that except for the brief stop at my apartment on Saturday to look stuff up on the internet, and the occasional playing around with Bobert's computer, I was pretty much away from computers for four days straight. This, however, was just fine by me.

Instead, I slept lots, read lots, and watched a handful of movies. And gamed some also. And burned my thumb fairly badly on a sparkler, but it's getting much better already.

I've been actually getting to read quite a bit lately, and that's very nice. I finally finished House of Leaves (after trying to read it for something like 3 1/2 years), and then I managed to read Anansi Boys in less than a week. The former was a tough read. The latter was a pretty easy read, and fun as well. I'm not sure what's next on the agenda, but it will either entail borrowing a book from Jason, or rereading something I already own. Just a matter of when I get a chance to talk to Jason next. Suppose I could call him or something. :)

Anyways, I'm back at work for what amounts to a full week, though there is a weekend in the middle of that. Then I get a 5 day weekend, for Jerome's b-day and Ozzfest! :) Whee! :)

Now, off to pretend like I'm working. :)
