I had some kind of very clever subject line, which I have completely forgotten now

There was Otakon, which was very interesting, although it might have been better if I had been more awake for it. If I go back, I need to dress a bit more up, I think... I also want to do comparison shots with Pennsic-- there, everyone has to dress up, so the only street clothes belong to the Coopers (staff); at the con, slightly fewer than half the people are just in street clothes, but the ones who do dress up may well be dragging props bigger than they are, or dress as wild boars or equally crazy things. (I sort of wished I'd ever gotten around to copying one of the dresses out of The Princess Bride-- not that it's anime, but still...)

Also, the dealers room was disappointing; it contained perhaps two things I was interested in buying, neither of which did I go back for. But the Art room (which, coincidentally, was open much longer) was full of fascination, and I actually went and got cash so I could buy this picture, because it amused me so much. Recognize these girls? You've seen them somewhere before... And having gotten cash, I got three other prints that are beautiful, and that I have nowhere to put.

In other news: ( here is what I am not currently actually working on )

And then, there's the fabric problem. ( the scope of the problem: )

Oh, right...

Goals for this week:

Don't buy anything except groceries.

Work on swap projects.

(possibly...) Rediscover useful amounts of floor space in my room.

apparently I really do want to be an artist when I grow up.

Or at least, I was on deviantart, the possibilities of which I had never particularly explored, and the username "thanate" wasn't taken yet. So I now have an account, which currently contains nothing.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do with it?
