The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

The past few days I keep thinking that I'm feeling OK, pretty damn good, even...until I try to do something strenuous like, say, stand up. Yesterday I was a lead-boned bag of liquid tired, which made driving suck. Especially in a fog so thick that I couldn't see more than about five feet in front of me at some point. I got to work at the obscene hour of 5:30AM (got to work! I won't mention when I got up...), and then left around lunch. Then I slept for about five hours, which was Wonderful.

I feel better today. Not a lot, but the bone-deep exhaustion that made even lifting up my hands hard is gone. The arms are still a challenge, but we're working on that - I have a three day weekend, and the only thing I have to do is a VARF staff meeting tomorrow. Then I sleep all weekend and Monday, except when I'm reading in a prone position. It will be wonderful. Really.

Oy - the Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire is in less than a month. I'm planning a catered semi-formal luncheon and a formal dinner (note to self: send Jeff list of questions that he probably can't answer), and I'm now doing some performer coordinating as well. Haven't a clue what that entails, but it should be an adventure.

I sometimes think that my subconscious disagrees with me when I say I crave dull moments.

However, given the above, I hereby grant myself the title of Mistress of the Feast and Revels. Because it sounds good at 9AM when you've been up for five hours and the drugs are wearing off. ^_^

Anybody know what this is? I'm hoping that someone is going to tell me that it's a brand new spiffy-looking Mitsukazu Mihara artbook.

...on the other hand, that would mean I'd have to add it to my existing artbook order, which is getting rather expensive. Only four books thus far, but two of them are Thores and form|code...

Hot Topic has put all their clearance stuff at half price...including Samurai Champloo DVD 6 with tin for $5.99, and a whole bunch of other nifty stuff. There are some Inu-Yasha, Fruits Basket, Princess Ai, and Gankutsuou shirts, and other stuff - go dig. Hot Topic's website is hell on a dial-up connection.

I grabbed a bunch of fitted black t-shirts with random stuff on them because, really, you can never have too many black fitted t-shirts with random stuff on them. Especially when some of that random stuff are things like Psycho or Metropolis movie poster images. And I bought pants, because They Are Needed, and a pair of really spiffy shoes (black, heeled, burgundy ribbon corset back) that I have no idea what to wear with. Which just means that I need to find something, and an excuse. ^_^

Yay! I needed to go clothes shopping anyway, and this takes care of a lot of it.
