my moral standing is lying down

You know it's gotten bad when I update several times in a 5-hour span. I was going to say, I feel sorry for people with me on their flists, but I'm not really that bad... and hey, that's what filters are for, ne?

Now that I've justified my goat-given right to spam LJ...

I think I might have mentioned that Nicky called while I was in the theater on Friday night. I wasn't able to get back to her until last night, but she wasn't answering so I left a message (phone tag is fun). But she called me back a few hours later and we had a nice little chat. ^^ Turns out Arthur said he might be able to afford it for Nicky to go to Yaoicon (end of October) this year, so she was calling to ask if we were going. Unfortunately, I told her, we'd just (in my case, almost literally) registered for Onna! in early October so we probably wouldn't be able to afford another con (which requires much more money to get to than a quick train to NJ) so soon. She then said if we weren't going, she wasn't going to go, because... what was the point? Which is kind of what figured in when we decided not to go (although if it was cheaper and/or I liked the con more, I'd love to have gone to see fandom friends). =(

In any case, she brought up a possibility -- going to visit her instead! She said her brother's supposed to move out in August, and her parents will be going on vacation at some point (shortly thereafter?), so we could possibly have the house to ourselves! OMG, this would be so wonderful, especially the part about not having to pay for hotel! My wallet loves this kind of thing. I wonder if we could really make it so work this out? I did tell her that we're going to Otakon August 18-21, and that I'm going to be working full time until the end of July, at least. And I'm not forgetting that I have to start on those cosutmes soon. I really have to go get my sewing machine belt fixed. Maybe we can schedule it for September, possibly even if her parents are not away. Well, it's a thought, and we'll have to discuss it further anyway, and see what happens.

Switching topics, I've come to a lull in my anime watching. I don't want to go further in Wild Striker until I have more, and I'm not completely in the mood for Peach Girl either. I'd really like to see Samurai Champloo. Angelica, can you pweeeeeeaaase give it to me? T_T
