So, hey I’m back! Over two days of downtime thanks to the server I’m on being crap. The hosting is in Rob’s name, so he talked to the hosting company and we’re getting moved to a new, more stable server and getting an extra month added to our contract. Hooray! Now let’s hope I don’t loose more data in this server transfer.
Megacon was a lot of fun. I spent it mostly walking around the dealers room annoyed that there was nothing I wanted to buy. I bought a wallscroll, a poster, a plushie for Rob, a boxset of a series and a phone charm. And the two most expensive of those things were on sale! I walked around in gothic lolita all weekend and was pretty happy to be wearing it. On Saturday I met up with some other gothic lolita girls and we ate dinner at a nice Chinese restaurant. I really hope I fit in and they liked me, I was sort of the odd one out. All the other girls had friends there with them. I didn’t really get any pictures because there wasn’t much I wanted a picture of. The next convention is MetroCon! We’ll prolly go to Jacon or AFO, but we’re not paying for tickets.
Right now I’m trying to get the house cleaned up from after the convention. And I have to wake up Rob soon to mow the lawn. 
So, I figured out that it wasn’t Wordpress that lost all those entries. It was my hosting company! They were moving some servers and I lost some data from that. Pretty much anything from November till now was gone. That included Eelpoutart. I had to re-upload everything for that website. I’m now wondering if that lost data will magically re-appear and everything I’ve done in the past few days will be gone. Ugh!
I’m re-designing Rob’s website. Giving it a snappier cleaner look. Or rather, the old layout was making me gag and I just had to redo it. There will also be a gallery system, which Rob is excited about. It’s pretty much taking the default gallery output of Adobe Lightroom and hacking it all to bits, creating something much cleaner in the end. I mean really, they put a link around a div. I’m almost done with everything. I just need Rob to give the final OK for launch.
MegaCon is coming up this next weekend! I have to decide what to wear. One of my costumes isn’t going to work out. I bought a jumpsuit in a small, and when I got it, it was bigger than Rob. So what, an XL could be used as a slip cover for the sofa? So, we have a lot of reconstruction to do on it before it’s wearable. I’m hoping Sasha will finish my Hell Girl costume for the convention, but if not, it’s ok. It looks like I’ll be wearing gothic lolita the entire weekend. I finally have a versatile enough wardrobe that I can create a few outfits out of a few pieces. That doesn’t make it any easier to decide what to wear though. I have to wash some of it too.
And my dad may be visiting sometime in the next week. Gotta clean up some of the stuff around here!
Well, not entirely…. Since Rob’s in WPB, I’m kinda in a rut. I can’t really get myself motivated to do much of anything. Except stuff for the MetroCon artist’s alley. I’ve been churning out phone charms and jewelry like crazy! I really need to start doing some headdresses, those sell like hot cakes. I posted these pictures on an EGL community and got some positive responses. I’ve also designed some little business cards for Eelpout Art to hand out to people. I’ll just print those out on regular paper and cut them out myself. I’m waiting to pounce on the artist’s sign up, I really want to get a prime booth. 
Other than that, I’ve been playing Final Fantasy 12. It’s not as hard as I thought it would be. I really have issues with the games that require you to control the camera/view point. I tend to run in circles looking at the ground. This game however, is pretty simple to operate. But I think it’s more fun, for me at least, to watch Rob play and tell him what to do. :heart:
Anyway, I’ve got to go clean my fishtanks. I’m trying to kill off the pond snails that found their way into my tanks. Die!
