Wearin' the holes in the soles of her shoes...

So, planning for Anthrocon. Yes, I do everything last minute. But it's not as last minute as last year, when we weren't even sure we were going to be going and decided to say 'fuckit' and go anyhow.

I'm trying to figure out hotel stuff. There's gonna be five of us, so it makes our room pretty cheap for each of us for the weekend. This is awesome. Downside? I can't book anything at the Doubletree because the dates we want (Jul 2-5, two night) are full. And I'm not staying longer than that. The Marriot doesn't have their online thing up yet, so I can't reserve there because I don't have the money on hand at the moment to call and book. AUGH!

On the other hand, our options are open for what we want. Since there's a handful of us (obliviousally, keeperofdreams, advienga, squeeji and her BF), we could get a suite and we'd all still get away for under $100 for the weekend on the hotel.

Also, I really need to pay Mitsene for last year. D: D: D: Goddamn, I'm lame.

I'm hoping I can book something suitable soon, though. Because I don't know ANYONE who could accommodate an extra five people in their room for two days. D:

Such a pain. But if I had planned in advance, something would have come up last minute and screwed everything up. And, for awhile, we weren't sure if we were even going.

Sooooo....yeah.

But I get paid the weekend of AC, so I'm going to try to work my ass off for those weeks beforehand. I'll probably do Artists Alley (LARGER ROOM/TABLES FUCK YEAR), and that';; probably recoup both my admission AND hotel costs. I don't make much in AA, but I make enough to break even with those costs generall. I figure, as long as I recoup my admission (and, if I'm lucky, TJ's), it's a good thing.

Rob's due home tomorrow around 6PM. I have work in the morning at 4:30AM.

I've been getting asked to stay after a lot, to help with reshops and softlines. This is good. I was originally kinda pissy about doing reshops, because it's dayturn's job. But if it gives me an extra hour or two (and if I can push it to my six hours), I can't really complain.

I've gotta clean up our mess today and start packing up the things we brought over. Clean my stuff off of Rob's computer, too.

Then, I get to go home and clean the house. Oh boy But payday is Friday and I should hopefully have a more money than last payday. I want to pick up some house stuff (hangers and such) so I can organize the closet. Seriously, our clothes are all over the place. We have dressers, but I loathe dressers (I don't know why), so I don't use them. We don't have a closet in our bedroom, we use the closet in the pink room (formerly the animal room, I need to clean it up so I can more them back in there and the ferrets can come out whenever they please.

So, I'll have to look around at work or we can go up to the Menagerie and see if they have any small tables or organizing stuff. Hit up the thrift stores.

I also need to clean the garage and the foyer at some point. The foyer is full of empty aquariums and a bookcase that could be moved INSIDE and have BOOKS PUT ON IT.

It's just a general clusterfuck, really.

I want to get my desk from the apartment. But I need to find someone with a truck who can help me lift it. It's fucking big (it's the huge L-shaped one I got from Angie), but it's great for keeping all my shit organized. Though, I'd have to move into the front room. Which I don't mind because then I can listen to my music and stuff. I just got all comfortable in the bedroom with TJ and the TV and all. XD

BUT. It would free up A LOT of space in the bedroom and we could open the balcony curtains more and have more room to work on things in the bedroom. Plus, I need to find a better setup for my computer and Possum, our extra storage computer.

Or, just make more of a mess. Who knows.

Maybe I could bring that little entertainment center upstairs, if Al doesn't need it back anytime soon for anything.

Hmmmm, plans coming into my head that look pretty nice. Maybe I'll start on that when I get home tomorrow. But I gotta get that damn desk to the house at some point. I love it so.

Now I'm rambling and TJ's up and about. He was feeling a bit under the weather this morning. Might have some bug. But he seems to be feeling better now, and that's good.

Now, to put some ribs on, loaf about and hope these cramps don't try to kill me.

We'll have more seats this year, too (and a 50% greater chance of my head exploding!)

Looking forward to seeing you in the Alley, though!

I saw that! I know everything moved around, too? Because the con's taking up a different area of the convention center, correct?

You betcha! We're in Hall B this year, that huge, cavernous hall that's on your left as you walk from the Spirit of Pittsburgh Ballroom to the Dealers Room/Artists Alley/Art Show. Hall B is 95% larger than last year's Hall C.
