home again home again jiggity jig
It was less stressful than I'd mentally prepared myself for, so that's good. Highlights: Low Orbit's set went reallyreally well (good game, r4c), and having Luke Ski play on Saturday was really really fun. It felt great to have such a huge crowd in there, and he wants to come back and play again next year. Awesome! Only kinda lost my shit once or twice, and getting a half hour of space brought me back to reality on both accounts. Good there. Didn't eat an overage of crap, did as well as I could on sleep and star5 helped me remember to eat my vitamins. We didn't quite sell out, but the shirts were a pretty big hit and looked great. I didn't see as much of life outside the Space Lounge as I wanted, but that basically happens every year. I'd have loved to actually see a panel or two, sit and play a whole boardgame with someone, and see a whole movie in Rex, but 'twasn't to be. Postponing loadout until Monday was a fabulous thing and will be repeated from now on. I got to go to dead dog, but fell asleep during the opening credits. *sigh* Apparently watching a subtitled russian horror movie was not what my brain was up to on Sunday and hottubbing was way more its speed. So I did that instead for a good hour, decompressed and compared notes with pied piper, found my S4, listened to the tail end of survey comments, packed up some more lounge, and went to bed.
I had a stranger ask to take my picture in every single outfit I wore during the con, even the things I didn't really find extraordinary. I'm not a camwhore, but that was kind of cool.
It's nice having a job that's nice to go back to. Also nice going to 'derby tonight.
I was sooo excited because my new skates came. And I got picked up and tore into them excitedly on the way there, and quickly discovered that almost everything about them was wrong. The boots were the ones I ordered, but they're too big. Everything else was just not what I ordered. The plates, the wheels, and the toe stops are all wrong. So, back, back, back they go. Oh well.
Practice was good, though. I don't feel superdupercrappysore exhausted like last week, just like I got some good exercise. I feel like drills I did last week I did a lot better this week, and some stuff I thought I kinda sucked at I'm actually not so bad at after I do it a few times. Feeling such fast improvement is really cool. We played "Queen of the Ring", which was my first foray into a bit of what bouting is like. Not so good at blocking and checking yet, but I also felt like I got better each round and like I'm starting to lose fear of hitting and being hit. Important. Some of my new teammates really kick ass. Exciting.
...and then no one answered their phone at the thingy I was gonna go to, but I'm not sure how much I'm up for more people anyway. S'okay.
Hrm.
Hungro needs food now. Hope S4 comes home soon. Maybe he's a hungro too.
