Went to Arisia. Bought membership for Saturday, and good thing, too, because they wouldn't have let me in anywhere (including a movie in a public room) without it (when did they get so strict?). Spent a horrendous lot of money on a custom-made corset, so I'll have one that fits. (Anybody want to buy my black and silver one?). Had an excellent, low-key but expensive dinner at Legal Seafood (hello, sticker shock) and missed the entire masquerade (the dinner was better anyway). Went to Finale for dessert after about an hour of attempts to collect several people all in the same place, got rained on on the way back at 12:15, had to get somebody to unlock the coat check for me, went to the tech party for about an hour, spent about an hour trying to catch a cab (bad sign when you ask the hotel to call one and they say you're better off standing outside in the rain and doing it yourself), finally caught one, got rained on some more walking up from Roxbury Crossing, and here I am. Fun day, but long. Now I am going to bed.
OK, let's see if this works...

No headache today. If I'm going to get another one, I'm going to get it tomorrow. Hopefully the one I had yesterday was an echo of one I slept through, because I think what woke me up in the middle of Monday night was a headache.
I don't think I have anything specific to do this weekend. What a lovely idea.

Last night I had nothing but really weird dreams. The only one I remember concerned a guy with a hook instead of a left hand, who liked to hide in trees and jump down and impale you with the hook when you walked under the tree. I actually woke up after that one and decided I wanted to dream about something else, thank you very much, and had another weird but less disturbing dream afterward.
The heat turned itself on in the middle of the night, in spite of the fact that the thermostat is still set for summer, so it must've been COLD last night. I guess it's officially fall now.
At the risk of becoming boring, I love my new computer system, printer and all. Having a system that (a) works, (b) works fast, (c) prints, and (d) still runs programs my old laptop ran is a really wonderful thing. Anybody want a Powerbook 1400c with a 1GB drive, CD drive, 400Mhz G3 processor and 33.6 modem? I don't know what to do with it other than sell it on eBay.
I find myself looking forward to the 19th, when we're having people over to hang out and play games. I'm not sure why; usually the thought of largish numbers of people in my private space makes me nervous. Depending on the people, small numbers of people in my private space make me nervous, even. Maybe I've finally found a crowd I'm comfortable with?
We had a housewide closet excavation the other night in preparation for King Richard's Faire this weekend. I still don't know what I'm going to wear, but I think it involves my corset. I also inherited a black velvet halter top I've got to find an excuse for wearing, since it looks pretty good and shows off my tattoo quite nicely. Too bad it's getting to be winter. It's not the sort of thing you can wear when it's cold out. Maybe I'll wear it for Arisia.
Time to get back to work, apparently.
