What she said! ^-^ Glad to hear you are so happy at your job; that's what dreams are made of!

And in an unrelated note:
Is it cruel of me to say I get a sickening satisfaction from slapping bugs right out of the sky? Like there they are, huvering around, minding their own annoying buzzy business.

Then *SMACK*

I just swoop right in and whack them from here to kingdom come mid hover.

Makes me feel like a friggin ninja.
Not cruel! My uncle does that, with wasps. I've tried once and it worked! BUT it is really scary and although I know if you hit them hard enough you probably wont get stung, I haven't done it again.

And RTR, you're here again, I've missed your posts! Good to hear you're happy in your work and that what ailed you is easily treatable :D

It could distract me, but I'm not sure for Ana ::)

How do you know. It's the internet. I could totally be an animated anthropomorphic snowman :o




This little argument between Ana and Vi is the closest we've had to a heated internet troll debate on this forum, and it's still the most adorable thing I've seen all day  ;D

How do you survive the subtropics of Japan as an anthropomorphic snowman?

If I'm actually an anthropomorphic snowman I might have also just borrowed all those photos and stories from someone else's trip....  :o

And thus Feartheviolas' carefully crafted web of lies began to slowly untangle...

hiiiiiiii I'm alive I've just been helping set up for Torucon this weekend!! SPEAKING OF WHICH
I'M SUPER HYPED

Spoiler: HYPE • show

HYPE


HYPE


SUPED DUPER HYPE

(THE MOVIE THEATER GAVE US THE TOOTHLESS STATUE!)


I ended up decorating and making a lot of the signs for things:








I can also confirm that the clarion hotel where we're holding the con at is wayyy fancier than the one in prague. LOOK AT THIS:


but with fancy architecture comes RIDICULOUS SOLUTIONS

THESE ARE THE SINKS IN THE BATHROOM
CAN YOU SEE THE SINKS BECAUSE I SURE CAN'T

also shedding a tear for gender split bathrooms again. the hotel last year had beautiful intersex bathrooms it was great

and honestly also shedding a tear of joy for how far torucon has come. It's its fifth year and I was there, the first year with 300 guests and everything was wonky and only half the guests were in cosplay and there space was small... the evolution of this con has been amazing.

Ooh, very nice!
My only suggestion for those sinks is there's a hidden button somewhere you have to press and they all slide up out of hatches in the granite...

Looks like marble. There's a lot of that in the Trondheim area.
