January 2010 Archives

So, yeah, I thought I could get away with a short post, but then I remembered it was Thursday, and while I've been lax lately, I'm trying to not be, which means if I remembered it being Thursday I better damn well produce a Totally Random Thursday.

Damn my self-imposed rules.

Read 'em and weep:

• So, a couple weeks or so ago, I was dragged kicking and screaming down to Louisiana to hang with our peeps.  Hanging with our peeps was most desired, but doing it in the ass-crack of the devil was not so much.  However, much fun was had and much booze was drunk.  What we didn't expect was to return home with a plague.  I say plague not because it was a terribly bad head cold we shared, but because apparently everyone in the household got sick.  Everyone.  I haven't told him "told you so" yet, but I will.
• Worked six days in a row last week for the first time since I lived in New Mexico.  I don't wish to do that again.
• The job has gotten busier.  We are very happy about this.
• The Problem Therapist got stuck alone with me today.  I was PMSing and cranky.  She must have sensed it, for she was on her best behavior.  Damn.  The first time in forever when there was no clients around for me to get a reason to chew on her ass.  Crap.  The gods protect fools and children!
• I did get a reason to chew on the Problem Therapist's ass last Thursday when she started a fight with the Spa Owner as loudly as she could while I had a client.  I quite enjoyed that moment of retribution.
• I still can't believe how really good "Avatar" was.  Although, I highly suspect that is all that Cameron has to offer us.  He hasn't made a good movie since "Terminator 2" and suddenly he pulls "Avatar" out of his ass.  Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he was done.
• I have cramps.  I haven't had cramps in four years.  I did not miss cramps.  I'm seriously considering the options between going back on Depo and staying fat.  Stay tuned for the inevitable meltdown.
• There is a Plan for MidSouth Con. It involves being dressed as Southern Belles and going Nerd Hunting.  Yes, alcohol will probably be involved.  Yes, there will probably be pictures.  Yes, we will probably need bail money.  Please consider donating.
• I'm going to unleash a good friend of ours - who is a nerd of a different color but who likes the vampire thing - upon the vampire LARPers at MidSouth Con as a southern belle of course.  Hijinks will definitely ensue.**
• DragonCon!
• Also, I haven't lost weight yet.  Damn.  Oh, well, I will continue trying.  If I don't, you will have to take me as sexy and large.  Or at least sexy and strange.

There, happy now?  Sheesh!  So demanding!

**"Well, bless your little pointy-fanged heart!  Aren't you precious!"  We also have plans of taking flashlights and shining them at the "vampires" and screaming, "Sparkle, bitch! Sparkle!"

I am creating. I'm working on a couple of t-shirt designs for the upcoming conventions.  I've seen lots of geeky shirt designs I like, but you know, there are these lovely things call printers and iron-on paper.  T-shirts are cheap.

So, yeah, I'm attempting my hand at a few of my own designs, albeit for my own purposes.  Now, granted, if at the cons I get a good response, I might put them on Cafe Press or something, but I wanna test run them first.

Now, just in case I haven't spoken to anyone since my last post, our Merlin cat is fine.  They couldn't find anything wrong with him and gave him a b-vitamin shot.  Apparently, either the shot worked or taking him to the vet scared him into eating because he's gaining weight quite rapidly.  We're very happy because we love our neurotic poop machine, and also because we didn't know how we were going to pay to get him better.  We'd have gone into debt for it, sure because he's our boy, but still, we were hoping he'd recover without all that.  We have lucked out.  Thanks for the well-wishes!
