After Chiller before DragonCon
Chiller was awesomeness this time. Mostly because they actually invited guests that I gave a fuck about. I'm not into horror/gore/wrestling or much of that sort. I could care less about George Romero. I do on the other hand care very much about Star Trek the original series, Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Battlestar Galactica. I'm now also down a couple hundred bucks. lol. I've got autographs from Adama, Worf, Odo, Chekov and Kat(Yeah, I felt bad so I got hers too).
I had fun with minimal drama except for a friend of mine getting WAY too drunk, WAY too early but he got home ok on his own with a little assistance from me & John.
I didn't realize that low carb dieting makes you a fucking lightweight. I am that proverbial 2 beer/2 drink queer. Its fucking weird and I've gotten shitfaced WAY before I've realized that its happened. So I woke up on an air mattress on Amy's floor with a horrible hangover that I've no way of fixing w/o ruining my diet. She also handed me a bowl of pretzels. She is the fucking devil. I gained like 8 lbs in that day b/c I just went carb berserk: rice, pasta, sugar. It was fun that day, but not the next. Never knew a carb hangover could be that bad. It took 3 days to stop feeling like I was drunk and lazy and high and I didn't get that weight off until today. Moral of this story? No cheating! I might be able to get away with eating one sushi roll or a couple of fries but nothing like that again. It felt awful and set me back like 2-3 wks. I figure if I'm good ( I made rice for dinner for other people & didn't eat any. Maybe I can learn to control my hispanic urges afterall) I can be down 40 lbs in time for DragonCon & get me a sexy stormtrooper or BSG pilot outfit and not look like a shiny, rubber whale..,.
Now we're contemplating DragonCon. Guy can get a room (really expensive one though) for Thurs, Fri, and Sat night, but not Sunday. John's not sure he can get off Thursday and we didn't want to leave until Monday so we're not sure what to do now because we can't get another driver in the car or they will want to get another room which will be another grand (Yeah, you heard me!) Suggestions? We're thinking maybe we'll crash at a cheap motel in No. or So. Carolina and just arrive Friday afternoon ready to geek the fuck out. Then Sunday we'll chill in the con til night and then hit the road til we find another cheap motel and head north on Monday. So far, its looking really stressful & I know that will make John decide to not go......
