beansideGreetings, it is Friday! In just a handful of hours, I'll be ending my workday early and heading out to drive up to Pittsburgh for Comic Con.
In exciting news, Jess finally decided that they'd like to get a picture with Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, who are voice actors from the Transformers movies, so we went ahead and got that. That'll be on Sunday, followed by the Transformer's panel. I don't think we're doing anything tonight, since we probably won't get in til late. Instead, we'll spend tomorrow there, and see all the shit we can see. And we'll probably leave after the panel on Sunday for the long haul home.
We'll see how it goes, I guess. I don't know how much stamina we have, but we'll go for it.
Yesterday was good. We drove to Sibley for Jess' post op, got there early as usual and were done about 10min before the actual appointment time. We were pulling out of the garage as it was hitting Jess' appt time. Not any huge traffic either way, which was nice. Pretty smooth. Then we took the puppy for his walk, and I worked for half a day.
Work was busy and a bit chaotic as it always is this time of the year. We're trying to get in a kiddo for a long appointment, which is not going well so far. We had one, they couldn't take it, so we're back to figuring things out.
After that, it was a trip up to Hunt Valley for my tattoo. It wasn't as bad as I was fearing. My last tattoo was done by an apprentice 20 years ago, and I get the feeling that he was heavy handed. I managed to hold rock still, and we got it done an hour and a half early. I was expecting to be there til 8:30, but was done at 6:52pm. I had to shift a few times, but I did that while she was switching needles or adding more colors.
Anyway, meet Owlbert the Owlbear.
I love him so much!
Done by Ronie at Layer3 Collective, same as Jess' tattoos.
Right now, he still feels like a mild sunburn. But that is not unexpected after having someone basically flay the top few layers of skin for 2 hours.
It's weird. I've always gotten tattoos to commemorate things. This is the first one I've gotten that is just kind of random. Not particular commemorating anything, just wanted it. It's kinda cool. Since Ronie wanted some D&D art for her portfolio, she gave me a discount. The total tattoo cost $250. Jess' last one was I think $400.
Ronnie uses Saniderm, so I don't have to fuck with it, except to change the dressing tonight. Then I can put on the second one and leave it til Sunday night. Which is handy, since we're going to be at the con.
After that was one, I slept like a rock. Fell asleep early and did not stir thereafter. It was nice, especially after getting up early to go to Sibley.
Okay, on that note, it's time for me to go forth and get myself together. I still have a bit of packing to do! Everyone have a most excellent Friday!
