Sometimes, I find myself unable to come up with a good mantra when I’m trying to relax or meditate. Now, I’ve started to use the bizarre topics of the spam e-mails I receive in order to kick start my deep thoughts. Here are a few of my favorites to ponder.

Is buttermilk my conceit
A myself catatonia
No barbeau at legitimate
The mazomanie of suppress
Be inhalation itself waspish
No notorious is preemptor
Or miraculous from rubdown
As my yarmulke
Is sane it watchband

Alright, so here’s the actual Tekkoshocon update.

Traffic on the way there was horrific. This was made worse by GoogleMaps sending us due west to go east. We never did find the imaginary road that we were supposed to take, and finally just gave up and took 395N like sane people would. Screw you, GoogleMaps.

We decided to make Tekkoshocon a one day con for us, since we don’t really end up going on Fridays or Sundays when we do have 3 days passes. I think it was a good decision on our part, although we did get a hotel room for Friday and Saturday night.

Tekko was fun for Maura and I, since we generally prefer trolling for costumes rather than running from event to event. Gerry, however, was not as enthused. The only event Maura and I went to was the Masquerade, which was amusing because we got to be first inline. Much bragged in Pictochat ensued.

Anyway, I now have two new costumes to abuse, which I will go into under the “cut”…

More later, but you can view the full set of Tekkoshocon 2007 photos here.

I finally got some shots of my favorite chair. We got it at IKEA, and it’s actually a single futon. But it’s soooo comfortable.

It’s a chair!
