Collecting my daughter from the massive Con. I didn't attend this year, so watching hundreds of cosplayers leaving the event.
I love to cosplay. And I get some attention for my roles. BUT goddamn, I got nothing on these people here. They are in. A class way way above my efforts.
And that's a wrap. Tonight's Rogue Zoom has finished, with thanks to participating and lovely Wonks; maybe next time there will be dancing, so stay flexible 🕺🏼
Last night I opened my window wanting to listen to the ocean and sea lions and the buoy and seals and shit. It's very relaxing. Instead I got elevator latin jazz.
Now, I'm ok with elevator latin jazz most of the time, but not at this time. And it was still going at 1am when I slept, and was still going at 5:30am when I woke up for Spain F1 qualifying.
So I complained. I didn't know I was speaking to the manager, and explained that this shit was really annoying. He tried to claim it was somewhere else and they didn't do that. There are city ordinances and they have decibel meters. If I had a problem then come find him.
OK then. I go to the bar, of course, and get myself a drink from the cool bar guy who knows me. "Gimme a minute" I say and go out for a reconnoiter. Most of the speakers around the hotel are quiet, but there is one bank which are playing soft latin jazz. Under my balcony.
I go back to the bar. Think for a minute. Yeah fuck it, I'm paying for this. I go to the front desk and there are two nice women there.
"Where's that tall guy?" I ask.
"The manager?"
"I don't mind, that tall guy who told me to talk to him"
so the nice woman goes to find him still laughing at "that tall guy". At this point I've asked for the manager.
manager: How can I help you?
me: I've found the problem. Come walk with me.
Now at this point it feels like I'm sort of threatening him but I'm not. He comes for a walk. I point out that most of the speakers are quiet apart from the ones under my fucking room. He's nice about this. I reiterate I don't want this happening at 1am or 5:30am. I go back to the bar.
Half an hour there's a massive fucking argument behind me with the Manager yelling at the restaurant manager that this is happening and I'm just chuckling in to my G&T.
This guy didn't do himself any favors trying to prove it was a half empty stadium for a dump rally. Could have panned more slowly- however, it would have shown that it looks like most of the seats are filled.
OT: I watched the most amazing documentary about Little Richard. Did you know he found God or something and then somehow The Gay went away? And he never seemed more miserable.
I always loved his music, and I knew he was "Tootie Frooty" when I was 10 years old. And no one cared.
It must be sad being a musical genius and talented and everything else, and these assholes only care about where you "park your car". ❤️
Oh, you are so sweet! I posted an update, and I can understand why you didn't see it.
She has a bacterial infection. She also swallowed a seed/pod/crap-if-I-know from a necklace a friend gave me that broke. I thought I cleaned it all up. She pooped a seed pod/ whatever out.
Sooooo, it could be the ingestion of some seed pod, could be poisonous, or God knows what.
You are so sweet for asking. Please know my appreciation! 💜
Thoughts and prayers, Never had any ":real" children. Just my four legged furry babies. Trust me, I understand. Kitty and puppy love is the most real and genuine love there is
Uh-Oh, another Rogue Zoom is happening, but it's now BiSexual/BiGenderist/NeutralGender!
YES, all identities are welcome, if you prefer chatting to the night's ALWAYS EXCELLENT MOVIE with OUR ZIGGY! They have also stopped in and given their Ziggy blessing, just saying. And may stop in later! MorganX is this evening's host, so there may be dancing, fair warning.
All Zoomage starts with you OFF camera, so you may remain in darkness and chat, listen, do some written chat, whatever makes you comfortable.
Had a chance to actually be funny at the checkout. Had an item that didn't ring in. After a while of fiddling I said "I guess it's time for that stupid joke about it being free." The cashier said he was waiting for it but I got a laugh instead.

Hundreds of wheeled trolleys make a dull angry rumble. These are the people running the stalls. depends on what you are selling.
Those comics are deeply, deeply weird. Or maybe I don't get them now that I'm sober lol
SRV, before he got sober.

Couldn't Stand the Weather is a great album.
That's my favorite album of his.
Saw him live in.... 1981/82?
Literally, once in a lifetime thing.
I quit my day jerb almost two months ago, took some time off cause workaholic.
I really shouldn't have done that.
I've always been able to deal with major life changes with ease.
this is not what is happening.
I know I'm burned out. BTDT, got the teeshirts.
Fuck, this is irritating.
gonna be a hot minute yet.
Brain is fighting me on change....
I know the black dog is trying to hold me back.
But it takes a hot minute to get that dog back into its kennel
Has been known to lurk around my house as well.

Was out at a wedding last night (kids of the neighbourhood village are starting to get to the marrying off age) and there was much dancing.
So far today there has been a 3 hour nap, painkillers, and much grumbling about how we are not as young as we used to be.
So, a successful weekend!!
runs screaming...
😹
*dancing is allowed only by willing volunteers!!!
my dancing is a felony in any jurisdiction

Music is off now. Good.
And that's how you talk to the manager.
It helps when you can do some of their footwork.
I'm gonna put up dozens of flags just to upset everyone, I'm just that kind of nutjob!
Behold Donny's half empty rally.

Things seem to be going well.

Matches his half empty head
Hi, Honey Bee. Welcome.
OT: I watched the most amazing documentary about Little Richard. Did you know he found God or something and then somehow The Gay went away? And he never seemed more miserable.

It must be sad being a musical genius and talented and everything else, and these assholes only care about where you "park your car". ❤️
One of the original lyrics was supposed to be “Tutti frutti, good booty” but apparently Richard toned it down. True story.
Very true. 💜

Thanks, as always

Project 2025 was originally scripted as a Mad Max sequel.
Then Stehpen Miller got his hands on it.
Reminds me a bit of the movie Equilibrium- which was a bit like The Matrix.
This little prick is guilty of something.
He's guilty of being Stephen Miller.
He's not Steve Miller, nor even Barney Miller. I almost feel sorry for him.
He fought the law, any law, but the law won.
The Jewish Santa Monica Nazi
Very rarely seen out in the wild.
Not rarely enough.

Nice time: A woman paid $4 for an old vase. It turned out to be a REALLY old one. Like, from the Mayan civilization.
It's a nice time because she voluntarily gave it back to Mexico instead of fighting them and trying to sell it.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/22/ancient-mayan-vase-returned-mexico
British Museum be like "Wtf?! Idiot!"
Did they give her the four dollars or no? The article doesn't say.
I hope Mexico at least paid for the shipping.
They gave her a nice reception at the Mexican Embassy. Presumably she handed the thing over to them. (She lives in DC.)
I figured they'd want to transport it themselves instead of receiving it by Fed-Ex, I'm glad they did a nice reception too.
Now they can transport dope in it. Nobody will expect it!
You think the orange foolius can fit inside a jar?
It’s about the size of an urn, so yes?
Dope only goes the other way.
They spent all their money on The Wall.
