Well that was more difficult than I wanted it to be. Admittedly partly because of unfamiliar vocabulary and different order of things, but argh.

So I got very little done on the house this weekend, but at least we cleared the blog work! Dear god, the season finale recapalypse plus the speculation at the end covered about 20k worth of words. Which means today is a no blogwork day. Tomorrow there will be comment replies and tackling future blogposts and so on and so forth. Well, and tonight will be all the Reese ever, which is kind of like blogwork in that we're watching it now for analysis later. But right now it's mostly just fun, watching Person of Interest, and bitching about how there are no competent profilers on that show and a lot of nasty surprises (at least one so far) could be avoided if anyone could actually read reactions and expressions. Ahem.

Oof. And then tonight is folding laundry if the boy hasn't done it when I get home, dragging his dumb ass out grocery shopping because neither of us was in a mood to leave the house over the weekend (well, I was fighting with the blog and my head cold) and we need kitty litter stat. And. Something. I demand there be Hobbit this weekend. I don't care whose door I have to mark or what crockery I have to toss. I will toss dwarves if I have to.

No, brain, I am writing fanfic today, not blog things. And possibly tonight in prep for tomorrow I am contemplating where I'm at with line edits. There will be no blogwork today. Stoppit or I will turn you into a penguin.

Someone tell me what I'm building for this year's DragonCon.

This brought to you by the Beej coming over and showing me the costumes she's building, whereupon I went 'fuck, I need to start building for DC.' I know I need to build a new Cheetara costume, which, I might start with just getting some inexpensive spandex and making a mock-up of the design before I start cutting into the actual spandex I have, and then I also need to build a new Silk Spectre costume. So, clearly what I need is some throw-away spandex. Which I guess means I take an index of it tonight and then buy and build mock-ups over the next couple of weekends? ... Which, actually, come to think of it, shouldn't be that hard. Couple months' work all told. But after Cheetara and Silk Spectre, then what do I build? I'm seriously debating whether or not I want to do Tron again, on the one hand I've heard there will be a lot of Tron people, and on the other hand my success with lightwire has been minimal at best. Though I suppose I could at least take the time to build a proper Tron-like base for it this time, not a steampunk one. That went over like a lead balloon. And I do have Abby and, oh. I was going to do Faye Valentine. But Faye's easy. I might try and remember to do that this weekend.

So, help me, Obi Wan F-list. What the hell am I doing this year for Dragon*Con?
