Today was all about Costco and dealing with the deadness of my bad leg (I can feel none of it from thigh down today so it's fun walking on it) so instead let's have fun. I have the promised pictures from Key City Steampunk plus a ton of stories and art to share.

Pictures first ( they're hiding under here )

Today was the last day. 6 AM my GI tract decided to play up. Fantastic. I still have 2 hours to go back to sleep. My body is like yeah nope. At 730 I gave up, took the suitcases out to the car and went to breakfast. After coming back, dressing and emptying out the car, I went to the first talk: page to stage. I thought it was about play writing. ( Read more... )

Dancing until midnight is much easier in my glass slippers and flapper dress. Now on to midnight cannolis to unwind. Today was another good day at the con. The only hiccup today was the hotel pulled the same thing the one for the Loveland Frogman fest. And I get it, I do.

Know what's hard? Dancing for an hour to a rock band in one inch heeled boots with a knee like mine while wearing a corset and being closer to an elder than a youth. Fun as hell though.

Today was great. Expensive AF but great. Taking the allergy pill helped with the sleep issues (though I'm not sure if my ear acting up is allergies or the beginnings of an infection. it's the bad ear ( Read more... )

No lie it spit snow all day. It was 78 degrees two days ago. WTF Ohio? Fool's Spring is supposed to be BEFORE the pollening not during. My allergies (which Cincinnati is known to be a high allergy spot) woke me up at 630 AM and I couldn't get back to sleep so I sucked down as much caffeine as I could but really that was the only bad spot ( Read more... )

Made it to Cincinnati without trouble (if you ignore popeye's chicken. I didn't want to eat in the restaurant here because it kinda sucks but instead of a breast/wing they gave me thigh/leg AFTER a half hour wait. I still tried to eat it but it was so fatty I ate the breading and went for a pretzel in the hotel restaurant. that's dinner right ( Read more... )

So it's been a second horrible writing day (will be back later with just how bad) because I HAD to get tests graded and two lectures written. I have still one more test to write. I did this from waking up until 11 pm ( Read more... )
