American Sewing Guild Convention

I went to the ASG convention.  This time it was the correct weekend.  We had a lecture that the teacher could barely get through because people kept interrupting her.  Quiet annoying.

I started "The Shining" it can be described in groups of three words.

Creepy little kid.
Horny ass dude.
Weird, freaky hotel.
Annoying worrywart mother.
Freaking crazy drunk.

I hate this book so much.  Every character in it annoys me.  It makes me physically ill to read it.  I get a stomach ache.  Even though I dislike it, I'd probably reccomend it, but not if you dislike having a lot of the f-word.

The hotel we were staying at smelled awful.  They must use some kind of expensive, annoying perfume in the vent systems.  IT WAS AWFUL!!!  The car smelled on the way home and made me sick to my stomach.  Today was the best day.

We got to play with paint and dye and glitter and it was so fun.  I made so many little pretty things.  One looked like a sunset, I was trying for a roaring, all-consuming fire, but I didn't have enough paint.  I put a light gold shimmer on it and it looks really good. 

We hand-dyes silk and that was fun.  I made a really pretty sea-like scene with green, turquoise and teal that I mixed from the two of them.  It was a special technique that made the dye run in little lines and I had the best kind in the whole class.  Hyperbole!

Even my dog was admired.  I don't mean that I had a dog painted or in class.  It was the "cleaner" that just used up all the excess paint.  I dislike it, but whatever.

The fashion show was painful to watch.  There wasn't much I liked and the commentary was very fucked up.

It was fun, despite all the complaining I've done above.  I'm just moody because I'm on my period and the cramps are awful. 

I have discovered why hotels have those pillows that sink down to the sane level as the bed and you have to use about five of them to get a decent, normal-sized place to put your head.  It's to get you to spend money at their spa getting a massage. 

I hate those pillows.

It's quite weird to be reading about a creepy hotel while in a hotel.

This inhuman place makes human monsters.  This is a really cool quote from "The Shining."  "Human monsters" would be a really cool book title.  Or fanfiction title.  One of the two.

Peace love and all that jazz
