I am no longer broken! Hurray! I stopped being broken roughly Tuesday/Wednesday-ish I guess. Fine for work all last week, just still a bit dented, but I'm pretty much good now =3 Definitely good for Sydney next weekend, wheeeee :D
Show day was yesterday, last day of the Show, aww =( I love the Show. I went with my uni friend Alex, since Anna P is currently in Sydney herself, and much fun was had :D The first Friday would have been far more awesome weather-wise, but such is the risk you take going to the Show in September. Anyway, I had an umbrella and it wasn't bitterly cold, so all good.
I spent most money in the Taste SA tent cos it's freaking awesome. I got some honey, two pots flavoured with ginger and a third with cinnamon, which is REALLY nice melted into warm milk X9 Also got a stick of kangaroo metwurst which will be turned into many an awesome sandwich with cream cheese, oh yes. We sampled many a metwurst and scoffed the bumburner for really not burning your bum at all. The XXX Burner, now that was spicy. Mmm, metwurst. I was also tempted by nummy olive oil but managed not to.
Looked at various animals, including very relaxed cats, bunnies that look like balls of fluff with faces, fluffy alpacas and goats that looked like they'd be more at home on some rocky outcrop rather than in a pen, and~ probably some others I'm missing.
I also had a look at the arts before Alex turned up later. I may try entering that some time. The digital art category, which must be new cos I don't remember it from previous years, was largely crap. All the real media was gorgeous, especially the pastels. SO PRETTY. The photography... god so many bad and random Photoshop filters, why? D: There were, like, three people who knew what they were doing. See if I can be arsed throwing something at them next year for digi arts, might be fun =3
We did two rides cos it was cold and wet and this was during a period of no rain. Techno jump is always my favourite, basically a whole lot of bouncing around in a circle and it's awesome fun X3 No making you sick or turning you upside down or HOLY SHIT I'M GOING TO DIE moments, it's just fun :D
Showbags, just the TimTams bag (it has a mug!) and the traditional Bertie Beetle.
We even got to see the fireworks this time :DD I swear every time I've been in my adult life, it's either been too windy or pissing with rain for the fireworks to happen, so that was exciting. AND we got to watch from the special VIP members area, thanks to the free tickets from Cassie's parents X3 It was pretty awesome. Front and centre on the main arena, very nice X)
I love the Show~ <3 Everyone come to Adelaide in September so I can take you. Then, or in February for the Fringe Festival. Either or :D
ALSO. Entirely unrelated, but I've finally finished going through all my stories for the Big Book of Stuff. Well, all except Silent Harmony itself, but that's about 350 freaking pages and I can't be arsed cos I do actually know all that stuff. Anyway, in going through all those, I've rediscovered all these unfinished fics I want to finish:
Hah yeah~ >> Of those, four are 'active' as it were, the others haven't been touched in at least a year but really need to be. Werewolves and Love Potion are presents and they haven't been touched in YEARS. I suck at sticking with a story. I'm thinking I should make that a target after I've finished up the Big Book of Stuff, chop down all those WIPs. Even Blade Archer, which is old enough to have had healer/priestesses in Ni-Yana. That was a fun story, I'd like to finish that.
But yes. New goal after Big Book of Stuff, which is nearly there for the text, at least. Just gotta fill in the holes by making things up and we're done!
