    when i decided to go to akon

    Man, who is not thinking here? I found cheapass tickets for Akon, so I’m going this year even after I said I wasn’t. But they were sooooo cheap! Anyway – I made my reservations and everything before checking, and turns out it’s the same weekend as HP 3 opening šŸ™ So I’m going to be at the stinky con instead…

We’re flying out Thursday night (the 12th), layover in Atlanta, arriving in Washington just after midnight. Yuck. Leaving kinda early that Sunday morning, so I won’t be doing any…

    when i was kawaii

    I had a convention dream last night for the first time in ages… got to katsucon on thursday, spent the night, and in the morning got up to put on tohru and it wasn’t finished. I was so upset I was shaking! I don’t know what brought that on. I haven’t had con dreams like that in a long time,…

    when i needed a con fix

    Saw Matrix 3 last night – it was ok. I guess my main problem was that I had been spoiled on the entire thing a couple of months ago. I need a convention fix! The only one anytime soon is numa rei no con in december and I still haven’t found anybody to go with me. I have a project…

    when indy bit me

    I was playing with Indy a while ago and she bit me. Not unusual, it was just a play bite, and she didn’t even break the skin, but apparently she got just the right place and…. OWWW!!!!!! My hand hurts SO MUCH. From my palm all the way down to my elbow. It’s starting to fade a bit now, thank…

    when i was excited for akon

    So Indy and I did the 3 mile walk for the Humane Society today. It was fun! There were so many other dogs, and I was worried about Indy being crazy and getting herself in trouble, but the only time she jumped at another dog and barked was when one got too close to me while she was in my…

    when i went fansub crazy

    Today I have got to take care of a few things, replying to LJ replies and mail and that kind of stuff. I have a few errands to run. Y’know, whenever I’m at an anime convention, I always feel bad cause I’m just not INTO it. I mean, like, I hadn’t watched ANY anime in months before katsu. But afterwards…
