I'm leaving for Rome early Wednesday morning. I'm almost packed (this is very early for me), just a few things left. As usual, I have no idea yet what to bring along for autographs! Although I do have a few postcards left from last year, hm. Or a big poster. Or, actually, I have a 2017 calendar from Canada. That has up to date pictures, at least. I ( Read more... )

I booked my flight to Rome! Because I'm a terrible cheapskate, I'm flying via Paris. Am I looking forward to Charles de Gaulle airport... I only had to transfer there once. I don’t even remember exactly what I didn’t like - although the fistfight that broke out between two passengers at the passport control stood out. They both insisted they'd been ( Read more... )

The last time I posted was last year?!? Oh my.

Like everyone else I am torn between laughing and crying about the complete chaos, sorry, fine-tuned machine the White House seems to have become. It hasn't even been a month yet ( Read more... )

So, first day of convention has gone by. It was nice, Kim Rhodes and Briana Buckmaster were awesome. Quote of the day: "How many openings does this costume have?" - by Osric Chau ( Read more... )

I booked everything for my upcoming vacation that needed to be pre-booked. Two nights in Amsterdam, flight to Toronto at 8 am (meaning I'll have to walk to the train station around 4ish in the morning, joy!), one night in Toronto, one night in Niagara Falls, eight nights back in Toronto, one night on a plane, and one final night in Amsterdam. And ( Read more... )

Nice dreams last night for a change. I had friends who were friends with Jared and Jensen's friends, or something. Anyway, we were at a convention, I guess, and they had the room next to us and there was a lot of hanging out. And, because Jared seemed unable to even just stand next to someone without touching, lots of hugs. Sweet ( Read more... )

So, I ordered (or applied for, is the right word, I guess) a ticket for JIBCon 8 next year. And already paid for it. My bank account will hopefully have forgiven me till then.

I dreamed you had to go pick it up beforehand in person, so me, herminekurotowa (although half the time it wasn't her but an ex-roommate of mine) and a friend of hers went to Rome to get ( Read more... )

I'm still undecided whether I should go to JIBCon 8 next year. Did I mention the crazily expensive ticket? On the other hand, I could (and would need to!) treat it as a once in a lifetime thing. I don't know. Is anyone else going? I have till Saturday to decide.

I started watching Grimm, I bought the first season a while ago on one of the England ( Read more... )

When the woman at the reception this noon told me that I was the only guest this night I thought that she meant in my room. I'm starting to think she meant in the whole hostel... It's very quiet here. Which does have its advantages because the bathroom belonging to my room for some reason is across the hall (to be accessed with a key attached to my ( Read more... )

Most things for Rome are done. Well, I haven't packed yet, and I still need a bag for the folding bike. Yes, I did buy a used folding bike - it could be a bit lighter and smaller when folded, but to make up for it it has eight gears and didn't cost a small fortune. I feel confident riding to the convention hotel for four days with it. I picked a ( Read more... )
