| 10:52 pm | Kumoricon 2008 Girl Genius Yes, yes, I know that this has been a long time coming. Since ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} sweetpea_grubb has already done a magnificent job of a convention report, and since I've already done LOLJagers to death, here's a simple post full of my favorite photos from Kumoricon. Enjoy, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.Warning! This is a ridiculous amount of pictures, but I thought that folks might like to see my favorites.

| 12:46 pm | Yay! In a couple of weeks, I'll be going up to Lacey, WA to visit Stern (lj user=erinralph>, Gunhild, and Josh. I'll be leaving Portland on Saturday the 25th at 8:45 am and arriving in Olympia at 11:15 am. I'll be getting on the bus again at 6:20 pm on Sunday the 26th, and getting back to Portland at 8:50 pm. Granted, I'm taking Greyhound, but I really, really don't mind. It'll be so good to see them all! I can barely wait... Current Mood:  anxious |

| 12:32 pm | Working out, feeling good, and a horribly depressing film So, despite the occasional bits of melancholy that I've been feeling the past few days, I got out and did my walk on Friday. It was raining, so I only did one lap instead of two, but I'm still proud of the fact that I did it. I also made my hour and a half workout session on Sunday, so that was good as well. I'm sore as hell, but today's one of my "rest days", so that's fine. I can tell that I'm building muscle mass as well as losing weight, which is even more thrilling that if it were just the latter. If I flex my arms, I can definitely feel a bit more build-up for my deltoids and biceps than I used to. I'm only down a pound and a half this past week, but that's still pretty good. I've been doing a lot more writing of late, which is good, because the figurative carrot at the end of the stick of writing over in ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small} theskytides keeps me on the ball for stuff that's a little less fun to write, like personal letters that I owe answers to but don't really feel like writing. I'm doing more art in general, too, which means that, with a bit of luck, I'll finish a few pieces for the pinup calendar that I'm working on some time soon.On Thursday, I was supposed to go rollerskating with AnnaLee. However, when we got there, there wasn't even anyone working the ticket booth. We're going to try again on a different night. Instead, we went with her mom to see "The Duchess" with Keira Knightly. Most depressing film I've seen in a good long while. Don't get me wrong--the costumes and setting are beautiful, and the acting is superb. But man, there is just nothing happy in that movie at all. It's based on the life of the Duchess of Devonshire, and I feel so very sorry for that poor woman. Knightly is fabulous as the Duchess, but I'm glad that it wasn't me who paid for the movie. |

| 3:56 pm | Dimo drabble A bit of a drabble. Considering what it is, I'm actually pretty proud of it. Written in about 15 minutes. ( No Master now. ) |
| 3:16 pm | Just feeling kind of blah today. Probably lack of good sleep is to blame, but meh. I really do wish that I didn't have to go to work tomorrow, so that I could sleep in and maybe do some art upon arising. I could just use a hug right now, I guess. Or some gelato. Or both. |

| 2:38 pm | I feel silly forgetting, but... This weekend, Tyson and I are celebrating 7 1/2 years of being together. Happy half-year anniversary, darling. |

| 10:58 pm | I'm accepted into theskytides! Yay! |
| 3:32 pm | Ah, so many artists on DA that I love, so little money to commission them with... |

| 8:38 am | So, despite some of my own best efforts, I went to bed around 1 or so, and just got up. It's amazing what sleep will do for a person, let me tell you. I'm going to go and have a good, healthy breakfast, and then go for a morning walk, I think. I want to see if I can make it for two laps around the track (4 miles) instead of just one (2 miles). Not that I'd end up doing that every day, but we'll see. Also, I'm not certain that my scale is correct. If it is, I'm very, very happy with it. I've been upping my workouts and stuff, and I don't know how fast is too fast for losing weight, but last week Friday, I was at 251. I know that there are natural fluctuations to be expected, but this Friday, I'm at 243.5. Current Mood:  excited |

| 2:58 pm | ART! Hey, folks! If some of you don't know, I've got an art gallery over at DeviantArt: sheilathejaffa.deviantart.com. I know that some of you like my art, but don't look over at the gallery. So, if you like what I do, and you'd like a piece of some sort of your own, keep a watch on my gallery. I'm doing a "kiriban" piece for the person who gets the 4,500th view of my gallery. Send me a screenshot of it, and I'll do an inked piece of up to two characters for you. Go forth, and good luck! |

| 3:32 pm | You know, I was going to go to my Mom's play this Friday. However, Abney Park is playing in Seattle at 9, and that's not *that* far away, and it's reasonably priced. Damn. I'm going to have to plead with Tyson to change our plans, I think, because--well, just damn. That would be so many kinds of awesome I seriously can't even begin to describe it. EDIT: On thinking it over, however, with regards to travel time, gas, etc., I think I'll wait for another time to see them. Vagabond Opera is much closer to home and is a Hallowe'en show, and it'll still be fun to go to. Plus, this way I can save some more of this month's paycheck for Comic-Con and Boston in the fall. |

| 9:07 pm | My mods, my mods, why have you forsaken me? I know that it hasn't even been a week since I turned in my application for theskytides, but I wanna play, dammit!/whining Just got back from my evening constitutional, and really ought to take a shower. Really, I should. That, and do laundry. And write more on that story. |

| 2:41 pm | And there was *much* rejoicing. Hooray! I'm writing fiction again! It feels good, even if it's fan fiction, and not something of entirely my own design. It's been some years since I've done this, and I feel more than a bit rusty. |

| 3:16 pm | It is absolutely pouring down rain this afternoon! I'm so happy. It's nice to finally have fall here, and with it some wetter, grayer weather. |

| 10:15 am | Meme, if you're interested I thought that it might be interesting to try this one out. Ask me a question about EACH or ANY of the following: - Friends - Sex - Music - Religion - Love - Livejournal No matter how naughty, sexual, or confidential. Then post this in your journal and see what questions you get asked! And just so people don't have to show how weird/perverted/funny their questions are, all comments will be screened. |

| 9:49 pm | Socks for sweetpea_grubbAnd, since I promised, here's a couple of pictures that are close-ups of the socks that I'm wearing. ( socks ) Now, the question is: would Dimo have bought them at a market, or would he have knit them himself? |

| 3:21 pm | Dammit. Just found out that Katrina will be in San Francisco on October 4th. Our act will, therefore, have to be postponed until next year. |
| 8:27 am | Woohoo! Due to a concentrated effort on my part, including cutting out sugary beverages and making certain that my diet is healthy and balanced, and doing a hell of a lot of walking and working out at the gym, I've lost five pounds in two weeks! Go me! My object isn't directly to lose weight, but I do as a side result of eating better and exercising, I'm not going to complain. |
