Back home from Katsucon and still alive. What a miracle.
Thursday night: Got lost. Hit pothole. Flattened tire. Oh shit. Changed tire to donut spare, which I didn't feel comfortable driving to the Metro parking lot at night on. RIPPED FUCKING DONUT OFF OF ITS RIM BECAUSE OF POORLY PLOWED OVERPRICED HOTEL PARKING LOT. Wept tears of bitter rage.
Friday morning:
dethorats (to whom I now owe large portions of my soul) and I shlepped my flat tire up to a Mr. Tire in Rockville. Despite calling ahead, took three and a half hours to get tire fixed.
Friday afternoon: After driving repaired tire down to hotel,
dethorats had to park illegally and so stayed with her car for most of the tire-changing process. Discovered that two inches of ice makes it impossible to get my jack up high enough to get fixed tire on. Cried in frustration and pain, because it was really cold. Chipped away ice. Still couldn't get jack up enough. Cried some more. Wound up using
dethorats' much larger jack to get car up. Nominated
dethorats for canonization. Swore at donut. Made vow not to leave hotel again until Sunday.
Friday night: Skimmed dealer's room. Accidentally won a yaoi paddle at "Anime Name That Tune." Saw yaoi. Felt somewhat better.
Saturday afternoon: Hit dealer's room with
sherrymarie,
brian_kun, and
dethorats. Bought Tashigi P.o.P. and a new Zoro plushie--hopefully, Tashigi will keep P.o.P.!Zoro in line enough that this one might survive. Murderface cosplay. Got several hugs. Tiff cosplayed as a the Mordhaus Librarian, and
dethorats cosplayed as Skwisgaar. There are pictures somewhere of us abusing David and Tiff, as is our right as metal gods.
Saturday night: Excessive drinking and drunken McDonalds run with
fffshuuu,
dethorats,
sherrymarie,
brian_kun, and Tiff.
Sunday: Worst hangover of my life meets con plague. Could not hold down water until late afternoon. Wound up leaving hotel late because of my repeated need to go retch. Eventually got home, and I have never been more greatful in my life.
My con plague is much better now, fortunately.
Less bitchy con report later.
