It's 930am on the West Coast, I'm waking up slowly, and it's time for Thanksgiving prep work.

Here we go!

Everyone: Don't talk politics during Thanksgiving dinner.

Leg room turns you into a trifold wallet, 2 hours at security checkpoint, multiple delays, insane food prices, no consumer protections anymore, and we're nickle and dimed to death but we're also told we need to be thankful and dress up nicely for air travel.

It's Thanksgiving week, so that means it's that time of the year I make my homemade cranberry sauce from The Elder Scrolls cookbook. I'm making a triple batch, with more than enough for Thanksgiving dinner and for some of you folks!

Also, get the book, seriously, it's really good!

Quick polling question for my peeps: Aside from Elf on the Shelf and Mariah Carey, what are some aggressively holiday products and music that either creep you out or drive you insane? Bonus points if you explain why.

This has nothing to do with an upcoming project I'm working on next year. ;)

Cain didn't get the message about the importance of family.

That's something a demon trying to disrupt the Hunmoon would say.

When Rocket wants pets and you don't deliver within 3 seconds of her jumping on the bed, you get "the grumping."

For my Doom Slayer cosplay, I had an idea to create a badass mobility device using the Crucible sword.

Instead of a PVC or wood dowel rod core, I use an aluminum hiking stick, layer it with HD foam, and use a pointed rubber stopper at the tip of the blade so I can use the prop as a functional cane?

Now that Geekgirlcon is done for the year, it's time to prepare for next year's cosplay and it's my biggest challenge yet.

First step is to build that sword as an accessibility tool, a modified walking stick that can stand in end, while I also work on personal PT to improve my mobility.

Soon enough they'll be altering the deal to where we pray they won't alter it any further.

Taking a break in cosplay.

Captain's log, stardate random numbers: the showerhead Enterprise has encountered an unknown creature of immense size and absolutely filthy lower section. Mr Spock has engaged the rainforest setting in a vain attempt to clean the dirty little bastard.

Just got my haircut for Geekgirlcon. Next is packing and cleaning.

Working on something a little different (as always). This is for a filmmaker that wants to have their TV show open with the intro starting outside the "studio."

This is the first attempt with the smooth take at the end of the video.

Something was very visibly missing during tonight's election.
