2011 Con Season

Kali — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:49:56 +0000

Con season has started for me!

Thus far we’ll be at:
Setsucon (State College, PA – January 29-30)
and
Katsucon (National Harbor, MD – February 18th-20th)

I will also be trying to Otakon and AnimeUSA, but I won’t know for sure until later.

My button queue is still open for up to 500 more pickups, so if you still need 1″ buttons to sell at either convention, contact me ASAP. I’m also still open for shipped orders for April and later.

The current stock includes the usual parasols, buttons, etc, but I’ll also be bringing some plastic canvas cross-stitch and hair clips. If you have a request, talk to me ASAP so I can make sure I have what you want.

I will also be giving the ‘Parents and Fandom’ panel at Setsucon.

Dr. Horrible Is Here

… or at least my fansite is. I’ve got it all set up and ready for content, but I’m still moving stuff in. The Fan Art and Fan Fiction sections are fully automated and ready to go, so if you’re a fan feel free to come on over.

Super Smash Bros. Fanfiction Archive

FF.net is so full of crap (and stupid restrictions) that I created my own Super Smash Bros. archive where just about anything goes.

ETA: DURRRRRRRR link fixed.

Compy Doesn’t Suck So Bad

Kali — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:37:35 +0000

I finally updated the memory in my desktop. The poor thing has been running on 2 512 sticks since 2003. Now I’ve got a “whopping” 2GB.

The real reason behind the upgrade? The next Sims2 expansion pack is out soon and I’ve reached the point where my hardware just doesn’t cut it anymore for my simmish needs.

Hopefully soon I’ll upgrade the motherboard and processor (currently running an Anthlon 64 3200+) and then get rid of this POS All-In-Wonder 9800. *Hates on video card*

The really scary part is that my husbands fancy-pants Alienware compy (bought a year ago without my input) was ALSO running on 1GB DDR. WTF was he thinking? However, since he has extra slots, he inherited my old memory. Hasn’t blown up his computer yet *crosses fingers*.

I Hate Wedding Planning

Kali — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 19:22:08 +0000

…and I’m never doing it again.

It occurs to me that I never really actually blogged about my wedding. It’s been nearly a month now, so I guess it’s time to smother everyone with unnecessary details.

Just kidding! Everything pretty much went off as planned, so no worries there. We still haven’t gotten back our photographer’s work, so not many wedding photos yet, but you can see the honeymoon pictures (no, not that kind!) on my Flickr account.

Tekko Update

Kali — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 14:40:35 +0000

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”…

So first off, we have Wendy Earhart to go with Maura’s Yomiko Readman. Aren’t we fabulous?

And then I went TOTALLY off the deep-end and made Rock Lolita. Because I can.

Awesome Chair

Kali — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 02:12:21 +0000

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!

Now it’s a lounge chair!

Now it’s a futon!

The Box of Awesome

Kali — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 19:08:45 +0000

I just pulled the Box of Awesome out of my attic.

Why is it the Box of Awesome? It contained, in no particular order:

1. An original Donkey Kong, holographic mug from the 80′s.
2. A sparkly Batman waterbottle.
3. Official *NSYNC sunglasses (stop laughing)
4. A Paris Metro Guide from 2001
5. A notebook entitled “How to Become an Evil Overlady in 10 Easy Steps” (Yes, I will be typing up the contents later)
6. The ENTIRE Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie Trading Card Set.
7. The White Ranger 11″ plush doll.
8. A “Stupid Police” wallet card.
9 . Nintendo Power: Volume 28, September 1991 (Introducing Super Mario World)
10. Tape of Alex and I singing “Bye Bye Bye”
11. A copy of “Never Tease a Weasel” (the weasel doesn’t like it, and teasing isn’t nice)
12. $6.24
13. All my Bust-A-Move (Bust-A-Groove) fanfiction.
14. A copy of Crazy Town’s “Butterfly” single
15. Two rocks
16. 13 discontinued Bath and Body Works products
17. The Severus Snape lego
18. 1 pair of 8 inch stilettos.

I have NO idea why all this was packed in the same box.
