So, no real entries from me in a while. Why, you ask? Well, for those of you not following the avalanche of Tweets I posted about it (they were forwarded here too, but I don't imagine many people payed attention to them in my LJ), let me tell you.

My Internet was out. FOR ALMOST ELEVEN FULL DAYS. DX

It went out on a Wednesday, and I finally called Rogers on Friday morning when I woke up and it was still out. It was then I was informed that they couldn't get a repair tech out to fix it until THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY. As in EIGHT DAYS later. *facepalm* Way to FAIL, Rogers!

Then when the tech finally came on Saturday (he was supposed to be here between 2pm and 5pm, but of course didn't arrive until 6), he was here for a grand total of five freaking minutes, just long enough to PLUG MY NET BACK IN because someone had disconnected it down where the lines enter the building in the utility room. =__=;;

Anyway, Internets are back again. I spent that whole eleven days basically working on beading stuff for the upcoming cons, watching a FUCKTON of movies, glaring at my modem and going moderately insane from boredom and Net withdrawal.

Not much else to report, except that I'm flailing over last minute Otakon stuff right now. Trying to decide which beads to bring with me to work on stuff at the table since I can't fit all of them into my suitcases. Packing and re-packing said suitcases to try to fit as much in as I can. Man, I have a ton of stuff this year, not because of cosplay or anything (like the last two years) but because of all the Artist Alley things. >>;

Oh, and I have a bunch of granola bars and other snacky foods packed because with my new diet I have to eat snacks throughout the day and IDK where I'd buy them down there. Plus granola bars were on sale when we did groceries yesterday, so I got four boxes of them and a box of pop tarts (which were also on sale.) And I also have a can of cashews (for protein!!) and a bag of marshmallow candies just because. And a pack of strawberry wafer cookies. And maple cookies for everyone else, even though I don't eat them. XD;; Haha.

Other than that, the only mentionable thing is Wabora. X3!

On Tuesday night I took Mom, Lee, Grandma and my brother to Wabora for dinner. Wabora is a fusion Japanese steakhouse in Bracebridge; they've been there about three years now. Anyway, THEY DO TEPPANYAKI. I've wanted to go ever since they opened, but it's obviously rather expensive so I couldn't.

But when my money from the tax rebate came in last month I decided as a thank you to my family for everything they'd done for me over the last few years I'd treat them to the hibachi show/dinner at Wabora. I took $320 with me and told them to order whatever they wanted, too.

The only one that was worried about it was Lee because he doesn't know much about Japanese cuisine. But since it's a fusion steakhouse they have a lot of western foods on the menu as well, so I knew he'd be able to find something he liked. And I knew for a fact that he would enjoy the show, even if the food wasn't 100% to his taste.

But I think of all of us, he was the one who had the most fun. It was awesome to see him enjoy himself that much. Same with Mom and my brother. (My bro was SUPER excited when he heard we were going to a teppanyaki restaurant!)

So I got a combo plate with chicken and teriyaki steak (half of it is in my fridge right now since I couldn't finish it lawl) and my brother got a combo plate with lobster and scallops, and we trades so we could both try everything. We also shared a sake sampler, which was a little bit of four different kinds of sake. It went straight to my head. Oops? xD;

I wanted to try the blueberry sparkling sake, but they didn't have any when I asked. =/

And I got really yummy pomegranate tea, and tried the tempura ice cream (green tea flavour!) for dessert. It was an AWESOME meal and show, even though it was expensive ($230 total with the tip. >>;;) and I would love to go again some time. Lee says he fully plans to go again as well, which is great to hear because there aren't many foreign restaurants he's willing to go to. ♥

In Baltimore, they sell granola bars at CVS and Walgreens. I'm bringing some of those as well as brownies, pretzels, ramen, pudding, and other snacks that aren't too unhealthy. Might bring some bananas and clementines as well, since I don't mind those warm. We'll have a cooler too, for cold sodas. >w<

That restaurant sounds amazing, btw. :)

Good to have you back, and I need to talk to you about a possible jaunt up to Michigan to see Rei.

[senashenta.livejournal.com]

.__. Well. Too late now. XD;; But I'll know for next time I guess. Oh, would you mind bringing a couple of apples with you? I can't bring fruit across the border. =/

IT WAS THE BEST RESTAURANT EVER.

Ah~ I would love to go visit Rei! ♥♥♥ I should be on AIM tomorrow probably after dinner time, if you'll be on then?

[wittyndelicious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, now you know. Plus we get our food money on Monday, so we'll go pick out some yummy stuff to eat. :3 Yes, I will put them on my list of things to pick up Tuesday night. What kind do you prefer? I'm going to get the snack size ones, since those are cheaper and easier to cart around. Any other fruit?

>w< I bet!

Yay!!! I should be on then. I have 65465865 assignments left to finish online. xD; What time is "dinner time" for you?

[senashenta.livejournal.com]

Umm, my fav apples are Royal Gala, but I'll also eat Red or Yellow Delicious, Granny Smith or Fuji. I just don't like the regular Mac ones. And LOL I would love other fruit but none of it really keeps outside the fridge. XD;;

Dinner time for me is around 5 or 5:30. ♥

[wittyndelicious.livejournal.com]

Okay. Awesome. :D Haha, this is true. That's why I'm bringing mostly junk. Oh yeah, Chloe wants to know if she can borrow your Kyo wig at some point to do Loki again.

Oh yeah. I should be on.

[senashenta.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It's why I'm bringing granola bars and stuff. xD; Though if you called to ask the hotels might be willing to put a bar fridge into the rooms. They'll do that here anyway.

Why yes she can! I'm doing Kyo on Friday, so she can use it on Sat/Sun no problem. ♥

Cool. I'll poke at you then~

I'll ask when I call to see if they have some stupid policy against paying with cash. We still don't have a credit card to put the rooms on, so... ^^; I think Days Inn already has it and the Marriott might upon request. It's long distance though, so I can't call from the house.

She says thanks.
