I bought a rotary cutter and cutting mat last week. I used it today to cut out fabric, and oh my goodness! I LOVE it!!! It is totally the best thing EVAR! I'm not going to worry about adding "new sewing scissors" to the shopping list now ( Read more... )

We're not going this year. First time since 2000 that I won't be there, but after last year's fiascoes, we decided it was time to take a year off. Hopefully those of you that are going will have an awesome time, so we can look forward to going to an improved con next year. Unfortunately, the jaded cynic in me doesn't think it's going to get any ( Read more... )

Since Sajuka is playing Halo (the first one), and the laptop was sitting right here, I thought maybe I'd actually finally get around to updating this thing.

Now, what were all those things that I wanted to make a note of...?

Well, first off, our Dragon*Con photos are posted. You can find ours here. tk7602's are here (he was quite the shutterbug, so ( Read more... )

Yes, progress! What a concept, eh? :-p

As I mentioned in my last post (I think it was my last post, anyway...), on Monday and Tuesday of last week we hung out at the home of tk7602 and dancer building weapons, erm, I mean props. :) Tk7602 posted photos of the Inara bowcaster that sajuka did the LEDs for the other day. You can find those photos here and hereI ( Read more... )

Zahn's confirmed for Dragon*Con!!!

The MotF list just announced that he, Kevin J. Anderson and Rebecca Moesta are confirmed guests for this year. (Keven and Rebecca are there every year, as is Aaron Allston and usually Mike Stackpole).

We are SO totally going this year! I think ticket prices go up Feb. 15, so we should probably get those soon.

We're back! Well, we've actually been back since Monday around 5, but I had a headache, and crashed around 8:30. Not getting to bed before 3 A.M. four nights in a row does that to a body ( Read more... )

Today is my last day of work. My extended summer internship at The Big Computer Company that turned into a fifteen month part-time job has finally ended. For various reasons (none of them good...), the thesis I was hoping to get out of working there never happened, so as of next week, my status will return to that of Poor Student. Well, poor ( Read more... )

Dragon*Con attendees:

Who's up for dinner on Thursday night this year? nasturtium has proposed the Chinese place by the Hyatt again, which seemed to be a great choice last year. Speak up here or on her journal with your yays or nays and let us know your thoughts! We normally eat around 8, to gather a larger crowd.

It's raining again. Still. Yet. It's supposed to be 90 and sunny (and probably humid as all heck) this weekend though.

Yet another busy weekend for Sajuka and I coming up. Saturday is a picnic with the 501st New England Garrison at our CO's place in Tewksbury. However, angela_x and her family are in the States this week and next. They're staying ( Read more... )
