Long Pause
I realize that I haven't posted since NDK, so... here's a brief summary.
We did compete at NDK, but only with Masaomi and Tomomori. I was not comfortable with the quality or presentation of Kiyomori and the judges were thrilled to let us drop a slot. We did not win any awards this year, but those who did were overall AMAZING and quite deserving. Competition was more fierce this year than any NDK I've ever attended, especially for the intermediates.
Coming home was relatively low key, we have some interesting skit ideas for the future, and I have gotten to spend a bit of time since getting home with my DS (TWEWE and Trauma Center) and with The Beatles: Rock Band. There was some drama with my work situation on Tuesday, but it all worked out in the end. Sorry to everyone who panicked over my well being.
This week at work went really well, lots accomplished, store looking clean and sharp, and the DTL visit on thursday felt more like 'Ok, keep up the good work' than any other I can remember. It's ramping up to crazy-season, so that's a good place to be in.
On my slate for this weekend:
-get the "Day Tripper" trophy for finishing Beatles: Rock Band story mode in <24 hours.
-buy some fabric (and more muslin) and start draping jacket and pants (and skirt!) patterns for P4 costumes.
-get groceries
-CLEAN UP APARTMENT
-pay back mom and starlit_dragon from pre-con loans
-get through at least day 3 of Subarashiki Kono Sekai (I'd almost rather type that than TWEWY, it takes less brain power)
-finish my app for Naruse @ paradisa
-save /some/ money to pick up ODST on tuesday
Finally, I want to take a moment to drop links for myself to: Chapter 14 of "Open Your Eyes", and to kotobayori and wemakestorm. Because sometimes I forget that my fandoms really do make me very very happy.
