Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ah, it happens sometimes. Worst part is I'd actually sat down for ver half an hour and skimmed my novel, started tweaking wording and planning things. And now the latest version is on my external hard drive and so I can't work on it. Might go out, find food and then see if I can focus on Ramos for a bit.

edonil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Sounds like a good plan. Step away from it, clear your head, then come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Passing is good! Well, now I've eaten it's too late to start on the oils, so I guess it's cleaning up more of the GenCon crew for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 What'd you get to eat? And feeling any better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Cooked chicken stir fry in the end. I'm still pretty sick of all the rubbish that keeps hitting me, but I'll do what I always do and just soldier on. Actually got work to do tomorrow so that might be nice. And getting more GenCon crew prepped can only be a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 So, definitely going to be able to make it to Gencon, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well, the roof repair should be cheaper than I expected, and there's no way I can go home after one unproductive year and expect to get a job. So I'll definitely be here, and will be able to afford it (I'll make sure it works, regardless of what the idiots looking after my flat do). Just got to organise it now!

edonil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Woot! Well, now that I know that I'm not going alone, I can feel a little bit better about putting money towards it. Well, when I get money. (rolls eyes) The dumb thing about refund checks...waiting on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Do we need to book anything yet, or is it all still wait and see? ---------- Post added at 04:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 AM ---------- Heh, it's fun to be special...

Mister Shine Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well, apparently if you take me out of being able to paint for a few weeks I can manage a Ghost Ark, an overlord, 5 immortals, two wraiths and a forgeworld tomb stalker ina day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ahh, waiting for other people to do things. A major Pain in the neck... Yeah, especially since the IRS decided to put a hold on (at first) all tax returns, and then put a second hold on any tax returns from college students until Thursday...so I have no idea if I did my return correctly, and won't until next week most likely, even though I got them down in January... ---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ---------- Well, apparently if you take me out of being able to paint for a few weeks I can manage a Ghost Ark, an overlord, 5 immortals, two wraiths and a forgeworld tomb stalker ina day Damn. Impressive! Especially the Ghost Ark and Tomb Stalker, those are big kits... Yeah, note taking and me don't get along, and never have. I actually discovered during the six years between high school and college that I learn best by repeatable lectures (yay online classes!) and by having my hands doing something that has nothing to do with learning. For instance- painting, building, or hell, a simplistic video game. I'm not sure that we need to book anything just yet... I would say that getting badges would be a good idea, though. But the hotel is something that can wait a little longer in case they decide they want money up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, the IRS. I did mine ages back for the UK, and I think I have to do my Canadian one in April. Not sure how to register, or if I need to, since no one seems inclined to tell me that...

Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Well, if it's a case of buying GenCon badges over the web, we may be back to the me paying you to use your credit card thing. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah, the Gencon badges are done best over the web, lol. As far as everything else, that should hopeful be only necessary when we're actually in August and on the road... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ah, well, how about you just cover $badge on whatever we owe Ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm probably going to try to sort out a credit card for my accounts here, it's becoming too much of a pain to not have one. Specially since 70 bucks isn't so bad, but 210 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 You might be able to get them from paypal, honestly. I know a credit card is needed for a reservation, but $210 is a bit much for me to put down, lol. ---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ---------- Hotel reservation... let's clarify that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Aye, I'll probably try to do mine on a card. PayPal goes from my UK accounts unfortunately, so the plan is to get a card that doesn't have that problem. Then I can use it while we're at GenCon too, without draining the wrong bank account!

edonil Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Ah, that makes sense! Man, that's gotta be weird having two bank accounts to worry about... ---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ---------- Although, be aware, you can have paypal link to your canadian account and then get a card for it where it'll pull from that account.

Mako Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah, it's one of the things that makes the whole process of being here that little bit more confusing and awkward. I have to use the right account for each thing. But a Canadian credit card will make that easier, as I can use it online and pay it here rather than having to transfer to the UK to cover that one. Wow, I've cleaned up half of a fire gamin's leg in two hours. I suck at this tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Its too hot to paint at the moment for me in the middle of a heat wave and no aircon, the problem is that I have heaps of stuff I want to paint (Malifaux and Bloodbowl) congrats on passing Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
