 Here it is!
You have to browse logged in, of course (not giving spammers an easier time than they already have, right?), but that's that.
There are almost 200 pics from the party there, and although I did pull out redundant ones, terrible ones, and the ones where the non-flash focus was just too terrible to continue, but those didn't even make a significant impact.
Next year's prom theme is going to be Naked Prom where you come with your dress or tux airbrushed on. (wanna take bets on how likely this is to happen?) Or Geriatric Prom where you come with no teeth and blue hair and show up on the wrong day. I dunno.
Anyway, enjoy the gallery. After the break, there's me and Casey before I did my blood makeup.

Today has been a little better than yesterday, since every day I'm getting a little healthier and a little better rested. Of course, it all stops tomorrow night when i get on a plane for New York.
As it stands, I haven't found a place to stay yet ($400/night for my usual place? Fuck that!) and I haven't figured out how I'll be leaving town on Monday morning, but still. Today has been about paying bills, writing invoices and formatting computer drives (fun times!) as I get ready to fly tomorrow. Tonight I have to pull out my crap for packing and decide exactly what I have to bring with me for which phases of the trip.
I have a million pictures to edit and upload, I know, so maybe I'll do that tonight or tomorrow in the morning. At least then the pics can be up online. Of course I'll let you know when they're all up.

It's hard to believe that my dad has been gone ten years today. Because I'm on the west coast, even though it's morning here, we're already well into the time of day where I was on a NJT train trying to get home before he died. While ultimately I didn't make it, he knew I was on the way, and that'll have to do.
Anyway, not much else to say about that one. The week has started already, and I can't imagine how I'm going to get everything I have to do done. Pretty much like every week.

Hi!
Rising from the ashes doesn't actually feel very good. It hurts and kinda sucks.
My computer died last week after I reformatted it and re-imported all of my backups, and it took me more than a week to properly address the problem. Eventually, I succeeded, and the story is retold after the break.
In the meanwhile, I wanted to pop in, say hi and update briefly, because I'd been so intent on updating more, not less, and then this year happened, and touring, prompting, weeklong illnesses and visitors kept me away from the internet for longer than I feel comfortable with. So I'm off to look for a bedroom or a closet in New York that I can rent through the end of the year, a few more things for Diana Ross and Bon Jovi, both of whom are current PCW clients, and then to format and install everything necessary to run MWS' sales operations on a new computer.
Happy Saturday!

Busiest week in who knows when?
Check.
Windows 7 Beta starts crashing on purpose every 2 hours?
Check.
I know I'm not supposed to be running Windows 7 Beta anymore, but I'm still mad. I can't even back up my Docs fle in 2 hours, to say nothing of my pics, videos, working files, whatever. It's frustrating, to say the least. I'd also like to figure out how to export my Outlook setup so I don't have to do this all again, too, but that's not looking likely, at least not with my current setup and time constraints. Maybe I can research that today while I'm at Cartoon Network. Sure. And I'm a chinese jet pilot.
Anyway, I'm much less inclined to pay for MS operating systems than I was before, that's for sure. Go out of town for a few months and see what happens. Fortunately, Ubuntu is solid and virtualization is easy. Once I manually copy everything in the known universe (WHS doesn't support restores to Windows 7 yet, either. Way to go, Microsoft, you fuckers) from this computer to another in 2-hour increments, I'll be just fine.
Fuck.

Hello there!
So this has to be quick because I'm still slammed busy and overtired from the end of tour and the weekend, but I wanted to update about the last bit of my trip, etc.
So in Charlotte, I got to see Justin for a couple of hours - it was nice to see him, but entirely too short a visit for my taste. I'm going to have to make a real effort to get to Charlotte once the current insanity calms down a little bit.
Speaking of current insanity, the Zombie Prom went smashingly well - it was smaller than last time, but those that did come were all game for the madness of it, and I think everyone had a great time. That was Saturday night, and all of Sunday was either sleeping (something I still need to do rather desperately) or cleaning from the party. I'll have pictures soon, but not immediately, because the day is so slammed already.
Today has been one emergency after another with Quickbooks and such at MWS, and it's eating into my already-limited time to get back into the swing of working here. At least MWS is calling me to help them (despite the fact that after all day, I apparently can't help them at all - Quickbooks is the most opaque program I've ever had to deal with tech support for, and their support knows the least of any complex program's support I've ever talked to), I guess. That's a good thing. I'm exhausted and frustrated, of course, but what else can I do?
I'd totally nap if I could stay off the phone long enough to get one in, but it's not looking good at the moment, so there you go. Time to go drink more water.
