At MillenniCon
Mar. 14th, 2008 11:00 pmOverall the trip was nice, but I had a really bad time going through Cincinnati. Mainly because of idiots using I-75 for short, local trips which would actually be quicker using local roads. Wound down after a couple of hours at the con, then had some fun but now crashing early. Nice room to do it in, fortunately, complete with king bed. Quick and easy Internet connection for my laptop, too.
Ate too much at the chocolate party, but tummy settling down, now. Which is part of what's making me sleepy. Another part is heavy doses of allergy medicine.
Cookies turned out nice, but a bit lacking in character. Ran short of brown sugar and had to substitute about a cup of white. Taste okay and good texture; think I'm finally getting the hang of using new formula Crisco. Now I'm wondering how cookies with all brown sugar and no white would be.
My room is on the top floor, across and one down from the con suite. May be a bit noise, but MillenniCon usually isn't too boisterous.
Ugh. Just had a _huge_ yawn. Definitely think I'll head to bed, soon.
Bought a nice centaur sculpture from Laura Reynolds, and the new Kitty the Werewolf book. That's it, so far. Dealers' room is a bit small, but it usually is for this con.
