- football!!! I understand football now!!!!! got to New Orleans a few days early for conference last week because my friend is a Saints fan and wanted to see the game and she did such a good job explaining it to me that I actually understand the basic rules now. crazy. the game was also a banger, so all of that coupled with 'I cannot be accused of being a bandwagoner' and now having a bit of emotional attachment to the whole thing means that I think I am a Saints fan now. who dat :]
- finished IWTV re-watch with my friend. very excited for s3. while in New Orleans I took a tour of the Gallier house where they filmed, it ended up being a private tour with me and my friends because no one else had registered for it! I was immediately read for filth though, he took one look at me and was like "so are you an american horror story or IWTV fan" and I was like "....IWTV........" he was a good sport, he was asking mostly in the capacity of being able to give fun facts about that media wrt the house haha. for example, apparently during breaks in filming, they would just leave the incinerator in the courtyard there. that part of the tour shpiel was like "that tin roof there is the coal shed, next to it is the outhouse". when they asked the production manager what they were supposed to tell people if they asked about the incinerator (they had all signed NDAs) and were told "you're smart people, figure it out". okay. so someone asked what the incinerator was on a tour, the guide just kind of. paused. repeated "that tin roof there is the coal shed, next to it is the outhouse". the person asked again "but what is that" and the tour guide went "coal shed! outhouse! don't know what else to say here! move along, people!" incredible.

- bitch we are BACK in hades mode!!! let's go!!! I'm almost done with the first ending I think, I have beat Cronos the 7th time and am now going back up the peak with Gigaros to fuck up Typhon one last time, I'm intrigued where the plot might be going ... Hermes is one of the few gods from the first game whose art I really like in this one. thinking fondly on the Hermes/Charon yaois from game 1 that were floating around.

eating |
- so much insane good food in New Orleans, unfortunately none of it very photograph-able due to being varying wet bowls of things (jambalaya, etc). short list: fried oyster salad, rice and beans, fun fusion sushi (fried alligator!), liver platter at a funny little greek cafe, shrimp and grits, Twelve Raw Oysters, CAFE DU MONDE ! beignets and the coffee was phenomenal, gumbo and aforementioned jumbalaya. banger after banger after banger. first time for this conference that I have ever used my entire food per diem every day. was a bit of an IBS warrior due to the butter and fat but it was absolutely worth it.

- posting this on dreamwidth/tumblr as technically a combo week because I did a really short tuesdaypost on my neocities on December 2; past few weeks have been insane (neutral), was cramming conference talk prep and then was at a conference for a week. my talk went well! good questions after, good conversations. that conference is so big that it's basically impossible to network effectively though.
- next tuesday will be one last roundup post for the year and then a yearly roundup on new year's eve probably!
- LAST WARNING TO CLICK OFF FOR HOLIDAY PRINT SPOILERS. I printed a bunch of these directly on my blank postcards but that may be a mistake. not because of the texture - I think that's kinda nice actually - but because holy cow the dry time is Long. so I think I am printing more on thinner paper, because those are drying way faster, and then pasting them onto the postcards instead? lol. or just mailing some of them via envelope again.
