here we goooo
Aug. 22nd, 2025 07:17 pmthe night before a con!!!!!!! always pure anxiety. its not even far from home!! car is packed already, clothes laid out
and im just VIBRATING worried itll go poorly lmfao
as mentioned prior im really leaning into pokemon this year, selling holos and cards and gently used plush and a few gacha collections at my table along with my own pokemony fanart stuff
i really hope to make table money >.> aggadsfsdf
oh well whatever
first thing today i mean FIRST THING i crawled up into our 200yo attic and was like ITS HAPPENING LETS DO INSULATION. and alph somehow went along with my madness so it was done by like 10.30. its a very small and very cobwebby space up there so only i could be the one to actually lay it out on the joists over the old insulation crisscross style. it was gross sweaty work and i jumped immediately into the shower after. alph went immediately back to bed. ren joined him
so in an effort to keep my mind from convention anxiety, i settled in to finish the immortal life of henrietta lacks (and if i was a millionare, baby, i know a family id be cuttin a check to) and audrey came out to cuddle up purring with me while i did. i think she's finally eating enough medication to not be at a 10 of anxiety all the time
just like a 8 or 7. i feel u girl
ren had her solencia (arthritis shot) visit with the vet at 2, was very good, got treats when she came home and got spoiled.
i've been introducing alph to columbo and we watched a few eps this evening. i think not only is it lasting because peter falk is just /extremely likeable/ but because its got a 'home sick from school tv reruns' vibe to a 90s kid that is comforting. lots of 60s celebs, lots of 60s aesthetic. and thats usually what networks were rerunning in our youth. then there's also just the very well crafted murder mystery on top, and ocassionally some tv celebrity you recognize from some other thing (or not...faceblind as i am i didnt realize shatner was shatner til he started talking like shatner) so it's just kind of a fun chill way to pass time. i like to put it on in the background while i work, but it came highly reccomended by many friends.
is it copaganda? oh god yeah, but i dont think it was ever really written /to be/ a saving face for the LAPD. i think just. peter falk is that likeable, the tv murder mystery is that fun. so you accept the price of admission being this is a fantasy universe where shlumpy chill little guys like columbo are who make up the pd and they're going around trying to catch cruel greedy rich folks who hurt with impunity. the fantasy that in some world a super clever super friendly super kind honest /policeman/ could actually /help you/ when a rich person wants to get away with something horrible. heh and to think they called dragon fantasy fiction childish when i was younger
aaanyway
ren's sleepy, it's 8pm, i should see if i can sneak a few more hours with audrey. maybe start some shirley jackson.
by 5pm tomorrow the con will be all done and i get to decide if another year is worth it. never know til you try
later
