Ahh, good old post-con depression. The arrival of which doesn't surprise me in the least. Unfortunately, not even chocolate seems to be helping today - I'm kind of feeling down about nearly everything at the moment, and all the school stuff I need to get done this week isn't helping.

*sigh* I think I need a hug, of the real-life variety. Hopefully next week will be better. At least I won't have midterms, anyway.

Oh, and does anyone have suggestions for a photo-organizing script that isn't Gallery? Re-installing it hasn't solved the problems, which means that the people on the forums were probably right - it's one of the Apache modules my host is running that's causing the problem, which means I'm screwed.

Alright, everything all at once this time! And there is actual commentary for photos, as I took so few of them - they're in two different locations because Gallery is doing weird things to a couple of them when I try to upload. Enjoy!

God, it's weird to not be running around trying to do a million costume things right now. But no, nearly almost packed. Just need some AAs and US cash, and to put my food and remaining items in my backpack after I'm done with Bio lab tomorrow. So! Costume line-up is as follows:

Friday - yukata!Tatsumi
Saturday - wedding!Seishirou and mafia!Leon (How long Sei gets worn depends on how much patience I have - it's lovely, but kind of a pain in the ass to wear)
Sunday - Virgil

And I think I can pretty much guarantee I'll be the only person doing any of those at the con, so I should be easy to find. Or find Jo and she can probably point you my way. I'm getting in around five, five-thirty Friday - I unfortunately have no cellphone beause my mom only remembers to do things when they're not in my favor, like cancelling my US cell plan. But yes! Say hello, I don't bite. Looking forward to seeing old friends (okay, granted, I saw half you guys last week XD; ) and meeting some new ones in person :D

(Yeah, a bit early, but this is for the benefit of all the people going Thursday. There may be one last 'Ahhhh must pack con agh!' post tomorrow).

OMG con *bounce*.

If you've got a laptop with you - I'm not coming to the movie tonight, because I am so very, very dead. Sorry ^^;

The overwhelming question niggling at the back of my head for the last couple of weeks is whether or not to try and dye my hair to some consistant shade. As some might remember, I had it bleached last year - I dyed over the bleaching back in the spring, as my roots were growing in and it looked bad, but my hair never takes dye well, so it's faded out a lot (even black fades on my hair sometimes, it's terrible). You can now see three different layers of color in my hair - my roots, the half-assed secondary bleach job (my hair doesn't bleach well, either), and the much better pro bleach job.

Now, to me, the layers are really really obvious, but, well, it's my hair, so I look at it a lot more closely than everybody else does. So, I leave it up to you, dear readers! ( This is my hair now: )

Look good, or no? Dying it is not a huge impact on my time or budget, I'm just a lazy bastard. And I'm trying not to fry my hair any more. Oh, and this is for Tatsumi and Leon, BTW.

Bloody Palace mode is deeply, deeply cathartic.

And the neighbor may be even more of a total bitch than I thought, although more on that will come once I make sure I'm not jumping to conclusions here.

Back to killing things, now.

I think I have too many brain cells to do this Bio assignment. No, really - how the hell does someone get this far and not know what the hell a scientific journal is? I suppose some of the hypothesis stuff can be accepted, although to me, I feel like beating my head against a wall until the stupid stops. Although writing an e-mail to that prof might work out better once I can manage something more coherent than 'Oh god please let me volunteer in your lab please please please'.

And yet I'm worried about grades anyway, because I always make some stupid little mistake in my math or something, and bye-bye points. More to post about later, but for now - I don't think it's strep, but it may be a sinus infection instead. I'll see if the pain spreading across my cheekbones is some weird headache that's gone tomorrow.

I knew it was going to be an interesting shift last night when as soon as we left the SUB, a girl comes up to us and goes 'Just so you know, there's a racoon stuck in the dumpster outside Buchanan'. So, we go to investigate, and there was in fact a raccoon stuck in the dumpster. We could hear it trying to get out as we approached, and when we shined the flashlight in, there it was, staring up about it. We radioed in to the office and decided to let them decide what to do about it - they opted to do nothing, assuming that it'd get out on it's own, or if it was a juvenile, the parents would be back. Ended up being a good guess, it was out when we stopped by later, and we saw two big raccoon run past into the bushes.

Other than that, it was a surprisingly busy night, although in part because we lucked out and were the closest team to most of the walks called in. It's okay, though, gives us something to do.

And it would figure that I start thinking about porn right when it's least helpful or appropriate, ie, right before my Bio lab midterm. Claire, Ada? I do in fact find the mental image of you two getting it on as hot as Leon does, but...not the time or place, guys.

And my cheesey gay animated pr0n needs to download faster *pokes BitTorrent*

Am home, somewhat unfortunately. We had a lovely very fall sort of day yesterday - slept in, spent the afternoon cooking Thanksgiving dinner (well, Liz cooked, and I just helped where needed), which was delicious despite how suspicious the turkey log-thing was, and then we sat around, watched amusing videos on the internet, and then Nightmare Before Christmas.

Dante and Virgil are now both totally done, as are the spats for Leon, which means I just need gloves - I think a trip to Metrotown later this week is in order. We spent a lot of the weekend bashing CLAMP (while cutting out Tsubasa outfits) and discussing various Yaoicon plans. Which has me craving ridiculous sappy BL anime (although not Gravi - seen that twice through, at least). So...suggestions are welcome XD; Pr0n is okay too, as long as it's entertaining pr0n. Oh, and I've already seen the FAKE OAV, too.

Yeah, I've got too many S_F characters (people owe me posts, damnit), and I really desperately need to do something with some of these guys.
