Thursday is Friday's redheaded cousin.

I saw these shoes while I was shopping with a friend two weeks ago, but the pair they had there was a size five (...and it wasn't a pair; they only had the one shoe). Now that I've found them online, I sort of want them. Then again, I'm also very hesitant to buy shoes online -- if they suck, after all, I'm sort of screwed. Ugh.

My car has returned! We picked it up from the shop on Tuesday, so it's back in my possession and working fine. All of my electronic settings (the seat, radio, clock, etcetera) were messed up, but those didn't take long to fix and, really, those are only minor things. I am out a few hundred dollars, though, so boo. It's nice to have my car back, though.

Otakon is this weekend! The con officially opens tomorrow at nine am, but I won't be there until after work (so four or five-ish, most likely), and continues through Sunday. It'll be good times~ Today I'll be meeting vetes3 and vetesgirl et al so we can pick up our registration... and so I can see them. ^_^ We have a lot of catching up to do! It's been a year since I saw them last!

Also, I will be taking tir_synni home with me. She doesn't have a choice in the matter, but considering she asked me about it before I threatened to kidnap her, I don't think she'll mind. I'll also be hijacking pereppi at some point, because it's easier for all of us if I can save us all a stop on the way to Baltimore, and photoash volunteered for being hijacked on Saturday. Yikes. I'm turning into a hijacking fiend.

I'm also stuck in the phone meeting that never ends. UGH. I need to get myself some coffee. (And considering that I only have to be around to listen to the bits near the end, I could probably do that. *ponderponder*)

Eager con-goers, methinks.

So A. and I went to California Tortilla for lunch, which is right down the street. On the way back, as we were passing the convention center, I happened to glance over and what do I see? A very LOOOOOONG line of people sitting outside. Assuming they're Otakon-goers, my only guess is that they're camping out for registration pick-up (tonight at five). Considering it's only one o'clock now and the line stretched a block or so, I'm thinking they're going to be waiting for a long while.

That doesn't bode well for me either, come to think of it. Hm. Maybe I'll catch some dinner and then get in the line; at least that way I'll be fully hydrated.

It can't be much worse than when I went to pick up my registration last year. That was awful.

In other news, this joke made me snerk. Love it like I do.
