OKAY LOTS OF THINGS HAVE BEEN HAPPENING AAAAAH

Most importantly, my parents were in San Francisco for the weekend, and I went up to hang with them!  And super most importantly, I GOT TO SEE THE NUTCRACKER BALLET.  A+++++++  I WANNA BE A BALLERINA . IT WAS ALL SO PRETTY.  ALSO - IT HAD A DANCING BEAR AND IT WAS ADORABLE (not a live one, but still).  Then today was all about wandering SF on foot - up to Fisherman's Wharf, then down through North Beach, Chinatown, and Union Square.  It was really a lovely walk.  I hadn't had the chance to really wander the nitty gritty of SF's streets, and this was a good first-shot at it.  Hopefully I can return in a few weeks and find a place to write/knit/art!

Anyways this week is going to be a mess.  I have to get grinding on my Yuletide - I got all of the outlining and character notes done, I just have to write the friggin thing.  I'm sure I'll have something done by the deadline, but I know that as I work on it more and more, I'll fall into a spiral of despair and perfectionism.  Plus I have to get a pile of gifts mailed out and sorted out XD  I'm nearly done, I just have one or two more gift cards to get before I'm set.

....I was wondering what happened to all of my icons here, and then realized that I let my paid account lapse. WUPS.  Will get on that this week.

Also, on the Fanime front - I'm definitely making a Musubi costume for this year - Musubi being a character from the anime Sekirei.  I am aiming to get a second Taiki costume done this year too - an outfit based on the American cover of the second novel.  I am going to wait until I'm able to go to Mood's in NYC before I start making stuff - I am hoping to find some really awesome accent fabric, like a really pretty pale pink print for Musubi's obi or a bold print for Taiki's robe hem, and then finish the outfits from there.  (Also, sometime this week I'll be getting these boots for the Musubi costume...though I'm sure I'll be wearing them a lot more often than just at Fanime XD )

ALSO!!!

My tickets for the East Coast Visit are bought and set! I'll be on the east coast from the 18th to the 28th!  HURRAY.

Also I made another playlist at 8track - http://8tracks.com/impersona/still-i-adore-the-taste-of-rain

OKAY SLEEP THING.

The Nutcracker! It was my family's only holiday tradition when I was a kid, actually. We would go see The Nutcracker in Portland, something I wish I could've appreciated better for its artistry, but I was too busy being like, "rat! Sugar plum fairy!" ♥ ballet, you really can't appreciate it in full until you've seen it staged and live.

I got an 8tracks account the other day, since I love 8tracks mixes and I love making CDs and fanmixes, but then I realized I'd have to stop streaming everything and actually rebuild a music collection to use it. GDI.

San Francisco is one of the most awesome walking cities I have ever been in. I'm so glad you got to explore some of it! AND SEE THE NUTCRACKER <3

Also YAY TICKETS ACQUIRED!! I am dying to hit Mood too, just to see what is what in there -- I think the Pinako Rockbell cosplay will be super easy to pull together with stuff I can find pre-made, and I'm not planning on doing any more fursuits... XD

(also eeeeeee Fanime <3)
