What have I been up to? WELL.

I've been taking out my steampunk-embellished boots for a spin lately:( They were, apparently, made for walking. )

So, since Dragon*Con is on a holiday weekend and those are our busiest times over at the animal hospital, it looks like NYCC is my con this year. This weekend I went poking around thrift stores looking for cosplay things.

...I wonder if I could get some snaps at Michael's.
