Two months of playing later, I can say with 100% certainty that #BG3 has become my new Skyrim - which I said would happen and why I didn't start playing until I freaking graduated. I still love you #Skyrim , and I'll come back, but for now I've got the #RizzardOfWaterdeep and #BiteyBoy for company.
Someone said that they hated seeing clips this particular "group" playing D&D on Reels - it's the VAs of #BG3 playing as their characters, btw. Apparently you never played the game, bro.
Costume Write-up: Fallout Vault 42 Dweller (Medic)
Now that DragonCon has come and gone, I am finally able to do a proper writeup for my vault dweller. To be fair, I've been dealing with Con-Covid and then the busy season at work, so it's been a lot since I got back from Atlanta. I even had to cancel the second trip (for runDisney), because of said covid. 😦

Get ready to hang out with 80,000+ 65,000 of your socially distanced newest friends! Labor Day weekend in Atlanta is busy – and HOT.

DragonCon 2024 – Crawl out through the fallout, baby!
30 days until con, TIME TO PANIC!!! (Or like the Guide says in big friendly letters, DON'T PANIC). This of course means time to get serious, if you haven't already. As of this writing, attendance is being capped and very limited day passes (especially Saturday) are going to be sold - day passes go live Aug 1. Remember from last year, all passes must be purchased online.

I feel like this is all we ever talk about…
Oh, what's that? We have how many days until DragonCon? 75!? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt... Well, I guess that means we're talking about it again. I'm working on a couple of costumes for con this year, including one I've been wanting to do for ages. I'm finally working on a vault dweller - the show re-lit the fire in my heart for Fallout, so I'm going all in.

I did the thing!
I have been granted the rank of Master (unlike Anakin)! Reflecting on my academic journey I am filled with a mix of emotions: Pride, excitement of being finished, a touch of nostalgia, and being a bit at a loss. The last two years have consumed an enormous chunk of my life, and I find myself not knowing what to do with my free time.
Just Keep Swimming…
My cap topper - May '24 Sitting here surrounded by beakers, pipettes, and the constant hum of machinery, I can't ponder my journey through graduate school. Days blend into nights, and weeks fade into months, all in pursuit of that master's degree. Amidst the chaos of the lab, there's a glimmer of hope. The promise of completion and the chance to finally take a breather.
Starlight and the Princess Half!
Actual GIF of me running... I am running the 2024 WDW Princess Half Marathon on behalf of Starlight Children's Foundation with mah friends as part of Team "Imperial Made Me Do It"! Starlight delivers happiness to thousands of hospitalized kids at more than 800 children’s hospitals and healthcare facilities in the U.S., including my local hospital - Texas Children's, which is very near and dear to me!

DragonCon 2023 – Once More With Feeling!
It's the REMIX! We're getting down to the four-week mark (yeah, yeah - I missed 30 days), so you know what that means, TIME TO PANIC!!! (Or like the Guide says in big friendly letters, DON'T PANIC). This of course means time to get serious, if you haven't already. As of this writing, attendance is being capped and very limited day passes (especially Saturday) are being sold.

Running for Starlight! What have I gotten myself into?
I believe it's jogging. Or yogging, it might be a soft J. I'm not sure... #starlightchildrensfoundation #rundisney #charity

Oof I've been neglectful here. Grad school is nuts, and I'm also feverishly working on stuff for #DragonCon
Testes being "privileged" is not lost on me.
@ravenonthill It depends on who was around her the most and for how long. It's not as contagious as the flu or a cold (or covid-19), as it is usually contracted through prolonged exposure (hours) in close contact to an infected person. Still, that includes anyone in her home, work, and other venues.
It is time. #rodeohouston #hlsr #let's rodeo #tourscommittee
