backblog: Florida

I went to Florida for several days in August.
I was lecturing at FetishCon and also manning the complaint booth.

2010 august 02 - SJC to LAS to TPA

Flew out of San Jose airport which was nice since I got to take more time to look at the changes there.







Spent the first night in clearwater and the rest of the days in Tampa at the swimming pool when i didn't have to work. when i wasn't there, i was probably eating.

early night for me at the pool. i had to wake up early...
 

2010 august 08 - Tarpon Springs
So Mike lent me his car so I could drive up north an hour to Tarpon Springs. I hooked up with Narcosis Scuba to go out with their boat on a dive trip. the water was like 80+ degrees!
unfortunately, the boat had issues so instead of diving, we had to turn back and the trip was canceled. I really wanted to go the next day but that night was also the final fetishcon party. And also, other things ended up making me miss the following day - and no, it wasn't anything related to alcohol or hangovers!

They were really nice though, and if i get back to Tampa, I'll ring them up again (Narcosis)

backtracking

as mentioned, i've been doing stuff.
luckily, i've been keeping up the moblog well and good. just not posting any actual text blogging in here - which is not  so good.

for a while, i thought that it wasn't really necessary as i wasn't into doing fetish work and fell off posting images since doing shoots and whatnot was tiresome and i wasn't interested in doing them anymore. I guess that's been happening for the past year or so. Also, i was just getting lazy.

so looking back, in august i took the time to blog about things like my san diego trip diving... but i neglected to write about fetishcon and tampa (where i happened to be). I suppose I should do that - just did that. Gotta do Arizona too. and all the other stuff.

Work has been non-existent. Got help with my CV from ms_ariel  tho there are still little edits i need to do.
I really need to submit it but it's kind of a scary thought.

I guess I will finish the posts about previous things i did in order to catch up. Right now, my teeth hurt. Went to the dentist yesterday to find out I need about $9000 worth of work. Crap.

backblog: Arizona

I like Tampa airport.
it's easy, it's nice, and it's got free wifi and a smoking area after security.
instead of heading back to california, i decided to stop off in phoenix to visit cookie and steve during their arizona heat fetish party weekend.
i wasn't booked to work or anything, i just figured i'd spend time with them and also enjoy the hot weather (since i didn't get enough of it in florida!)

2010 August 10 - TPA to PHX

2010 August 11 - Phoenix
Cookie thought it was a good idea to hit a goth club.
so we went. my face looks chubby sometimes.


drinking happened


so taco bell was needed.

2010 August 12 - Tempe
lots of sun. cookie worked out. i stayed lazy at the pool


 

2010 August 13 - Tempe
cooking for cookie (ok not really)

2010 August 14 - Scottsdale
we shifted over to the hotel for the weekend - that way i could spend more time at the pool. actually, it was more convenient for the party.
i just like going to the pool. it was so hot. and the room i was in ended up having a busted a/c unit. i usually don't like a/c but it's nice to have a little bit of a cool room when it's 110+ outside and around 100 inside.
oh, the main show that night was lords of acid and thrill kill kult. i'd not seen them in ages.
not really my type of music but hanging out with friends was nice.

 

2010 august 16 - PHX to SJC
flew back to california :-)
phoenix airport is cool too. the giant window at the end of the D gates is great for watching planes take off.
oh, and free wifi too!
idiot me passed out before i could remember to stay awake and get shots of the grand canyon tho.
dammit.
