tweet(s) of the day

• 11:07 Note to self: don't do heavy leg workout the day before fencing. Hip & knee wobbly last night & warmup to overcome same took *forever*!
• 11:11 #swineflu: IMHO gov't & media response is fairly sensible: be concerned but don't panic. Still, volume of coverage overstates case.
• 12:52 Yesterday was National Hairball Awareness Day: tinyurl.com/4t5vwx . Happily(?) the cats gave me my gift earlier in the week :P
• 13:24 Remembering last night's dream: UFO convention, paper dolls (of what, I wonder?) and Simon Pegg. No more late post- workout snacks for me :P

Costume Con prep

So, I've got one Friday Night social, one Historic Masquerade, one Sci-Fi fantasy masquerade, and hall costumes for at least one day to pack (I'm not competing, but one would hate to be underdressed!).

I think I've (mostly) got what I need, with stuff to spare. Biggest space-taker are the shoes, because all the outfits require something different, and some require boots.

Nothing, save the Firefly vest, is new. Unless there is a pronounced dip in temperature, the fitted gown is staying home - I LURVE it but it's fulled wool, and too heavy even for indoors if it's over 70F!

I'm nervous because I feel like I'm pulling out most of my stops and am still going to be woefully incomplete-looking. But I'm excited because I get to see friends, learn stuff, and where else can I wear sci fi AND historic to the same event?

And Miyake. Must remember the Miyake.
