Everyone remember to go congratulate bean and Shal! In the years to come, I look forward to finding out what they tell people in answer to the inevitable "How did you guys meet?" question.

Oh, come on, now. Surely more than one of you has Wondercon pics.

Yes, I'll be doing Wondercon again this year. I'll definitely be there Saturday, and maybe Sunday as well. Come by the booth and say 'hi'! I beleive you can also expect Bob, Dice, Squeak, Ridley, Dino and I bunch of the newer girls. I haven't seen Quinne's name on the list, but she knows how sad I'll be if she doesn't show. Hint. HInt.

Today, it seems like everything comes with a very high price.

I'm trying to be happy, but I just keep hurting people I love.

So..tired...

I haven't been around for a while as I've mostly been busting ass making stuff for last weekend's Edwardian Ball in LA. I might finally have some spare time now! LA was lovely- I got to have breakfast with Voltaire, whom I hadn't seen in ages upon ages. She doesn't have dreads any more!

Now I get to dedicate the next few days to photographing all of the stuff I didn't sell (which is a lot- the LA Ball did a poor job of letting the attendees know that there was a vendor's hall, and very few people had cash on them). Oh well, my Etsy shop will be stocked for months.

A few pics I'm rather fond of so far...

So, this showed up a few days ago outside TheRightBastard's apartment complex, and noone ever came looking for him. He has a microchip, but it was never registered. I suspect he got dumped there with the theory that it was a nice appartment complex, and someone would surely adopt him. And they were right! So, now I has chihuahua.

Everyone, meet PickPocket. Yes, he thinks he's a cat, and is sitting on the kitchen table with his paws tucked up underneath him.

So, the other night the freezer door at work didn't quite shut. Not enough to really thaw (thankfully), but enough to cause ice crystals to build up on everything, including a freeze dried rat that was in there debugging (you try keeping a dermestid colony and taxidermy under the same roof without regular debugging). The outcome was the Christmas Rat:

Stoopid dead battery. Does cold make batteries die? I didn't leave the lights on in the truck last night, but this morning it was dead as Hell. Had to snag a bus to work and didn't get home till after ten, so there's no dealing with it at the moment. Which means another bus in the morning. Grrrrr.
