I hate being sick.
This weekend was lots of fun -- I think it might have been even better had I not been somewhat sick, progressing to coughing my lungs up when I finally got home last night. Picked up Vince's car on Friday night, which was the MUCH better idea rather than Saturday morning. My mom was really adorable -- she loved Vince's little red 95 Chevy Beretta and wanted me to drop her off at her appointment at Continental on my way to pick up Judy from the train station in that area. Which worked out. And it was very cute. I love my mom, but I rarely think of her as cute, so this was a refreshing happenstance.
We were on our way by 10am and got to Katie & Kelly's place at 1pm. It was a nice steady drive with no surprises. We went over to Genericon at RPI and snuck in. ^_~; We went into one of the lecture-style rooms where they were just finishing up the "masquerade". Some comedian (who'd been there at NYAF, apparently) did his (mostly unfunny) bit while they tallied up the judges scores. We left about an hour later after they announced the winners. All in all, I think that was a great experience. Especially the not-paying part. =D
After eating we went back to their place and spent the rest of the time inside, where I got to ooh and aah over their "Bob Moon" cosplay outfits and wigs and such. They described what their NYAF skit was supposed to have been -- which I really hope they end up doing next year 'cause it was great! Then there was drinking and pong and other games and no pointing and not saying "you" are REALLY difficult to do when you aren't drunk, much less when you are!
We were on the road by 4:30pm on Sunday, which worked out really nicely since we picked up Vince at Penn Station and everyone got to be driven back to their respective houses, so it was very convenient for everyone. However, I felt bad because on the drive back my sniffly nose turned into serious coughing and Vince dubbed his car the sick-mobile. Which was pretty accurate. I hope he doesn't get sick, that'll make me feel horrible!
Went to sleep not too long after getting home, but it was a little difficult to get myself into work today. Just wanted to stay in bed. It's only 12:30 now and I'm barely doing any work and feeling like crap. I'd stick it out til like 4pm and then go home a little early but I have Japanese class tonight. I'm sure that's going to be great. I'm looking forward to the class, but I haven't studied at all, so it's going to seem like I don't know shit and to top it off I'll be sniffly and coughing the whole time. Lovely.
I won't have too much time to rest this week, and Judy and I have to work on cosplay for Katsu this weekend. But I'd better kick this sick by Katsu.
On an unrelated note, I'm kicking myself for totally forgetting about the ceremony to retire Leetch's number on Thursday. I guess I would have missed it anyway because of NA, but I would have tried to catch replays or whatnot later that night. =( Luckily, the NYR site has some videos I can watch. I really <3 Leetch. Also, the All Star game sounded like an interesting one; too bad I missed that as well.
[edit: Messier's emotional-ness is SO CUTE!]
