| From Stilyagi Picnic |
I went to the Stilyagi Picnic / Pengui-Fusion-ConCom meeting on Sunday, and had a great time with great food and an awesome looking (but quickly passing) storm. I somehow escaped without volunteering for additional things er, I sort of volunteered myself to help Mr. Ops, so we’ll see where that goes.
My friend sheryl67 is going to be doing the masquerade for ConFusion this year, and I’m totally geeked about it, ’cause she’s awesome, and has some great plans already.
Lucy is back in town again this afternoon (between storm cells), which will make me feel a lot more relaxed for a number of reasons. She starts her job at Banfield (the Vet Hospital) next week, so we’ll be trying to find a reasonable routine we can smash on a regular basis.
I know you’re dying to know about the status of my car. So am I. However, The Adjuster has yet to get back with my insurance agency. They’re the ones losing money by the day, so … whatever.
I’d like to get out there today, if possible, and clean out my car, which is going to be a hot smelly mess, fo sho.
I was hoping to know whether or not it will be “totaled” in advance of that (’cause if it is I’m taking the goddamned new tires), but no luck so far. Work is sympathetic, in that “Aww I’m sorry to hear that, here’s a dozen additional tasks” kind of way.
And the most exciting thing to happen this weekend that doesn’t involve nipples: rbradakis efficiently popped the vibratory camshaft out of my raygun shell, allowing me to design and build out the interior! After many people spent much time on it, it required a hammer and two 2×4’s.
So, it’s my goal to learn some simple electronics and design a system that will power two or three tiny motors and six-to-eight LEDs, and then design the Raygun exterior. And then give it a name!
(indiscriminate bolding for the tl;dr audience)
I’m so thankful that you gave me that push toward doing the Masquerade. I would have never done that on my own. Thanks again.
Please let me know when hotel rooms go on sale for ConFusion, as I’d really like to go!
Join! That’s where I get all my info. :D

You can book a hotel room anytime.
That is a fantastic shot. You actually managed to catch the elusive Sheryl peeking over my shoulder.
And you, gasping at my ridiculously hot bod.
You know it.
I’m excited about Sheryl doing the masquerade too, partly because she isn’t already inculcated with ideas about how one does such a thing, so I expect to see and participate in creativity and new energy in that arena. Maybe I’ll even do a costume…
I guess you have a point about not having preconceived ideas about the “right” way to do such a thing. I’m very excited.
You should make a costume too!
Sweet!
I’m pretty sure that I’ll have a steamy costume ready by the time confusion rolls around.
You will or I will have to beat you. *g*
*grins* Is this disincentive or incentive?
I will need you to “get on me” about this.
