Not a con report
I have voted.
My new boots were waiting for me when I got home from Austin, and they are all the awesome ever--knee-high, burgandy, steel-toed. Much like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mrissa's, but without the handy zippers.
I went shopping for sweaters and tights yesterday, but apparently roving hordes of barbarians beat me to it. I have never seen such carnage in a hosiery section. Not a single pair of black tights remained, nor any sweaters in my size. Somewhere out there, there's a barbarian wearing cute argyle tights under his loincloth.
WFC was lots of fun. The only programming thingamajigs I attended were a poetry reading (very good) and a panel (not so great). Mostly I hung out at the bar with the amoeba. I am very fond of my new corset, but next time I'm getting one without the points in front, so I can possibly sit down.
I think I grabbed someone else's copy of Phantom #0 out of the room, so if any of my roomies are missing one, I shall mail it to you.
The highlight of the con was definitely the Eye of Argoning of The Highlander's Bad Touch, even ifscott_lynch cheats.
Every time I mention my desire to write a paranormal romance with highlanders in the style of Irvine Welsh, people make encouraging noises. This one might get elevated to the status of Really Real Possible Novel. I need to find a gimmick. (z.B. he's immortal, he's a vampire, he's a werewolf, he's a time-traveller, he's possessed by Keebler elves, etc.)
I feel a vague sort of NaNo guilt to work on the book, but I think I'll clean out my closet and flip through some of my new books instead.
