I may have mentioned here that I am planning a trip to Ontario at the end of the month/beginning of next month. I'm leaving here on the 29th and coming back the 11th - a nice trip, and for most of that I'll be staying with [livejournal.com profile] curtana and [livejournal.com profile] forthright and their son, Arthur. I'm super excited for that!

I'm also excited because the LARP that I randomly started playing two Januarys ago, on a spur of the moment decision while I was in TO for SHA and hanging out with Rob (who plays regularly)... *deep breath* ... is having a 4 day event that weekend (there isn't an event page yet, so I will show you the main page instead :)! So I will actually get to attend a real event, as opposed to the mini events they run over the winter. I'm super excited for that too, but it involves a bit more prep than just hanging out with awesome people ;) I need a real costume (and more so this time as apparently there is a tv crew coming to film an episode of Fanboy Confessional!), I need camping gear, weapons, transportation, food... Man! I am now questioning my choice of character, who wears very little that I can safely improvise from my own wardrobe and whose survival chances for an event like this are likely to be slim -_- We'll see how it goes :D So far, I have one outfit for her, though as this is a 4 day affair, I'd really like a second :p I got some boots and some other miscellany today as well, so things are looking good! Also, Rob has a little tent he is lending me, and J&S say they might have a sleeping bag :D

People are coming over here Thursday to do some sewing, since Zari asked for help with her skirt, so I will hopefully get a chance to work on costuming some more then. Woot woot!

Yesterday I decided that I was fed up with not getting any exercise - I can feel my back muscles weakening, and it is affecting my posture and my sleep. Man I miss the assisted pull up machine :( Biking two days a week isn't cutting it for cardio either! So yesterday I did a bit of lazy yoga and some push-ups, and today I did a few more, and went sorta running with Jola (the sorta is a reflection mostly of my shitty shitty cardio, but I am also blaming the heat + humidity= heat index of 110 equation ;p). So I'll see if I can keep that up at all @_@ While it isn't my prime motivator, I won't deny that the 4 days of running away from things (in multiple layers of dress) that is coming up at the beginning of next month is also an incentive for doing this ;p

Oh also, work. Ahhh!

Are you going to be in Windsor for the duration, or perhaps up on Montreal at any point? I'm away from July 29th to Aug 1st, but if the LARP event is that weekend, maybe we could come visit you the next weekend?

I *know* that Julia and Steve have a sleeping bag... if they can get it away from Arthur! ;)
