[Posting this to my personal journal as a test.] [But read it!] [It's interesting!]




Well, everyone - our Kickstarter campaign was wildly successful, and we at Aeronaut Productions are hard at work putting the finishing touches on Steampunk: History Beyond Imagination. [See my original post here.]

If this is the first you've heard of this endeavour, read on for more information:

( Exhibit OverviewCollapse )

The official opening day for Steampunk: History Beyond Imagination is Sunday, October 23rd. We’ve heard rumors of some of the local groups coordinating costumed outings to the museum - we think it would be splendid to see you all in your steampunk finery on opening day!

The official media day will be Friday, October 21st. For more information, contact info@aeronautproductions.com.

The exhibit is currently set to run for three months, so even if you can't make it to opening weekend, we hope you'll come visit some other time during the season.

We have been truly touched by the outpouring of support for this project, and we look forward to seeing you at the Muzeo!

Destashing a ton of imps from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab!

Imps are $1.50 each on account of some of them are a few years old, and/or not all-the-way full (if you're curious about the fill level of a particular one, just ask) or 10 imps for $12.

Shipping to the US is $3 (or possibly $5 for a flat-rate box if you make my day and take a whole lot of them off my hands!) If we're going to be at the same event sometime soon, I could also conceivably just hand them to you.

Imps have been living in a non-smoking home with one cat.

A post!

From me!

You know, I still regularly keep up with my flist over here but I never, ever feel like posting. I think it may be time to admit this place is retired. Over a decade is long enough, don't you think? I was in high school when I started the thing. The whole internet has changed. The world has changed. I've changed. //dramatic hand gesture//

So this is me quietly slinking away, or maybe I'll come back and write a long rambling post from time to time, and when I do, I don't want the most recent entry to be an outdated one about selling things, so here's this post instead.

I moved to Homestead Road yesterday. I'm broke charmingly impoverished but I'm more or less on my feet. I'm healthy and I'm free and I'm filled with love. Things are for the most part great, and in regards to the not-great things, I shall of course prevail. I'm looking forward to this week and this year and to the vast unfolding future. In the knowledge that particular and specific dreams will come true, I have faith: the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.

So. There.

I promise this is the last post of its kind for a while, ever-patient friendslist, but hey - the Great Summer Cleaning/Fundraising of 2010 continues! Here is an update on what's still for sale, including a couple new things. :)

I will bring whatever you desire to the next event we both attend, or if I'm not going to be seeing you any time soon, we can work out shipping.

My e-mail for inquiries and PayPal is violetohara@yahoo.com.

(Prices open to negotiation - I'd sure like these things to go to people who will appreciate them, rather than the dumpster or the thrift shop.)

Well. Lots of stuff has being going on, and lots of stuff is coming up! There have been shows in the city, a steampunk picnic, a crappy antiques fair, a few geeky pub quiz nights, and that's just recently.

..........

My near future looks kinda like this:

Tomorrow: Rabbit's Foot Meadery, St. John's for burgers, then Machete.

Saturday Possibly the Silicon Gulch meetup in the afternoon, definitely Green Day at Shoreline!

Sunday Indiana Jones double feature at The Retro Dome.

Wed 9/8 Rosh Hashanah at Mike's step-family's place [augh what do I wear/do/say?]

Sat 9/11 Maybe the Ren Faire at Ardenwood Farm, maybe a garage sale at Michele's, then roller derby in the evening in San Jose.

Sat 9/18 Maybe visiting with my dad in Turlock and seeing Jeremy Renner in Modesto.

Mon 9/20 Fall quarter begins! If the waitlist gods are kind to me, that is.

..........

I've been watching Avatar: The Last Airbender with Mike (and sometimes Elias.) We just finished Book Two: Earth. It is an awesome, awesome show. Seriously. It's a great kid's show - and it makes me so happy that there are still great kid's shows being made - but it's also just a really enjoyable show, period. I'm all emotionally involved in it. I hear the movie is the worst piece of shit in decades, but we'll probably attempt to watch it when it comes out on DVD, just so we can say we did.

..........

Momo!

..........

I'm a quarter of the way towards my weight-loss goal as of this morning! I feel like this bit of progress will make it easier to refrain from eating junk, making excuses not to exercise and being in general a huge sloth-pig type of person.

..........

I'm pretty sure I'm going to put together a Ramona Flowers costume for Halloween, because - right? Besides being a perfect costume for me, it has the added advantage of fiscal responsibility, since all the pieces I assemble for it, I can wear as normal clothes when I'm not Ramona.

I'm thinking the dark pink hair. I'm also thinking a wig, not necessarily because I don't want to dye my hair but because I don't want bangs. Bangs + my hair = huge mistake.

..........

I still have some stuff for sale, but I will make that a separate entry.

..........

And in conclusion: it's almost autumn!

The massive cleaning and reorganizing of 2010 continues, and also I'm about to have some slightly alarming dental bills to pay - so hey, here's some more awesome geeky stuff for sale!

I will bring whatever you desire to the next event we both attend, or if I'm not going to be seeing you any time soon, we can work out shipping.

Comic-Con was awesome.

Other awesome things: nearing the end of therapy, losing weight, being productive, getting rid of unnecessary objects, coming home to Mike.

Also: I'm going to run away from home and join the circus become a voice actor.

Stay tuned!

ZOMG Comic-Con starts tomorrow!

We fly down early tomorrow morning. I haven't even started to pack yet (which is completely unlike me) but I have done my shopping and made detailed lists of what I have left to do and what order to do it in and what to pack (which is completely like me) so I think I should be okay.

Also, I made more money house-sitting for Michele's family over the last two weeks than I thought I was going to, and having more cash than I initially budgeted out, well. That's one less thing to worry about!

There are only a few panels that I absolutely, really really, do not want to miss this year - Caprica, Futurama, the Universal presentation - so I won't have much to fret about in that department. (Oh, and I must see the Cartoon Voices panel featuring Phil LaMarr, but something tells me I won't have to fight my way into that one. The voice-acting panels are inexplicably under-attended.)

I am so excited to hang out with everybody and go to panels and see new footage and ogle pretty things and have new stuff to be excited about and get free swag and party and get swept up in it and have those things happen that you totally didn't plan for but then they end up being the best part of the whole con. ♥
