i am perhaps sometimes not the sharpest pencil in the cup.
I had this big umbrella which seemed to work against the rain
and
since it had been covered in silver paint markers
i decided to paint over it
completely blissfully ignoring that i had primed the paint with a drying retardant
and
when i used the umbrella today
the paint reactivated and
went everywhere-
so my new sundress is now
tye dye fodder.
There is a huge purple blotch on the side front of the bottom edge, and while it is passable at work
the thing is still ruined until i can make a clever fix.

my mind left sometime last week i think and
refuses to properly function.
i think it is all the rain.

i liked the rain this morning;
i do love the sound of it and i am sure that it is keeping NYC cool
and not stifling hot
but the humidity factor just sucks
and
it doesn't look like today will be salvaged at all.
i suppose someone who uses imber as a nickname can't complain too much about the rain.

it has been so nice to have an excuse to paint;
i can't wait to get home and get my hands back in it-
tho i should pop over to the dollar store and get some small containers with lids. 
While my paint isn't bad, it is old and it looks like some of the colors will need to be mixed well with water
to get to a consistency for sign lettering. 
I can't find my good lettering brush
so i have to use one of the smaller brushes
and it will add more time onto the project than i had thought.
the mixing cups will make it easier;
the signs are already cut and i have art tape to make them look authentic.  Pictures will eventually make their way;
prolly once the signs are installed on the set.

I woke up late for work today;
lingering late into the night as if time weren't a thing
today at work i feel light and unanchored-
what is sleep when one has inspiration?
but haha, i have to be more careful about getting up when my alarm wants me to.

work now;
Mishka later

O_O

No rest for the Wicked!

Work's blocked access to all music listening sites. 
Not Fair.
maybe i should see if the invalid wants to work today?
(invalid = broken ipod in desk drawer with the cracked screen)

survey says;
outlook cloudy; try slamming it around a little, it's already busted so you can't do much worse, ne?

my chocolate cheesecake definitely got et;
and the sunny day is still turned to rain;
so someone start singing the song again-

The cake had purple icing on it!  ^_^ they didn't even plan it, it just came that way.

complications with the Hotel and Origins;
apparently the hotel that owns the space we are supposed to be in
is saying that they have their own event in the space
on the two days we were promised for set up
and
they are trying to bump us into a space less than half the size;
nevermind that the new space is smaller;
but it is not in the center strip of events at the con;
it's not near anything
we would have to reduce and completely rework our set
and considering how much extra money was sank in just to get the set done by
Terrorwerks Head Command;
it's a total slap in the face.
This hotel better pony up some serious cash reimbursement for the losses of moving our space
or better relocate whatever crap meeting won't be done until 11pm the NIGHT BEFORE THE CON
argh
how much of an idiot does the event coordinator have to be to do something that is clearly such a dick move?
Did they not talk to the con organizer about the scale of our event?
do they not get that well more than half of our expenses this year was planning for filling such a huge space?
i am besides myself with lividity. if lividity is even a word, if it ain't, well, then i am Freaking Livid!

i hope it gets worked out cause, uhm, we've got four days to go here people.

O_O

amazing.  tsk tsk.
