Shoot the moon!

If you follow me on Twitter you already know that I was sick the last couple of days. What seemed to be a simple sore throat and cold turned into a very snotty and feverish sinusitus. Being at home gave me a lot of time to worry about (lack of) comments on my most recent artwork and all in all I was pretty miserable. I tried to turn that frustration into inspiration with my previous post and today I'm posting happy photos to celebrate that I'm feeling better AND to remind myself there's lots of other good stuff in my life.

First off these awesome photos of VegasCon I came across on Tumblr:

Jared by CasKisses + Jensen by GrumpyJackles

See, I did pay attention to J2. But -just like Jensen- I was mostly mesmerized by this guy:

SaturdayNight Special & Jeff crashing J2's panel on Sunday <3

Woot! Found a complete video of JDM's panel \o/

Watch on YouTube

Not fandom, but also fun: mom had given me a fancy dinner out for my birthday and last week we finally managed to go out. We went to restaurant "Kletsen & Proeven", which means 'Chat & Taste', as they offer a special sample-menu where you can try all their dishes in one go. Here's what we had:

On our way to the restaurant we passed that glass statue of Michael and with no bicycletaxis surrounding it this time, I had to take photos from all angles. (To compensate for the lack of view on the citywalk with sillie82 on March 3)
My moms ordered the starter-taster (I sneakily ate of her plate;) - mustardsoup, salad with serranoham and melon, salmon tartar, mushrooms fried in beerbatter


I chose the meat platter for my main course (beef, pork, chicken and spare-ribs), my mom had the taster platter (salmonfilet, meatstew, steak); we shared everything, including that big paperbag with fries:)
We both had our own dessert dish - fresh fruit, including passionfruit with goldberry, sorbet, chocolatecake, creme brullee, whipcream and chocolate)
Everything was delicious \o/

More family fun
A week ago I already linked to the photos I made myself when my nephew took me to the Dinosaur exhibit, but his mom posted two really cute ones on Facebook that I'm sharing here:

Are we not adorable? - Link to blog with my own dinosaur photos

Oh, I hope you'll feel better soon!

I've been in and out of fandom and reading and appreciating art because of evil reallife, but today is a day of catching up. I think I went throgh three of my favorite writer's journals and just read all the older stuff I missed, and I'm not even close to done! I might have missed your artwork too, I shall go and peruse!

ETA: I already saw it. Dang, and I hoped for something new....;)

Thanks, the sinusitus is pretty much under control, but I'm still suffering from an annoying cough, bleeech.

I'm totally behind on reading myself, sadly I couldn't focus while sick, so no catching up on that, which made me feel even more disconnected with fandom.

!There will be new art revealed next week, dundundunnnn.

Yay for feeling better! \o/

What a fun concept, 'Kletsen & Proeven'. Glad you had fun. :D

Those two pictures are really cute. :3

Slowly but surely. This dry cough is still making me cranky though.

It was such a lovely place to sit and talk, nice and spacey too, so not bothered by a noisy crowd:)

Thankies:)

Aww and haha I knew you were going to love all the JDM stuff that came out of VegasCon! As soon as I saw the stills of Jensen and JDM I was like 'mmmm, look at that bit of loveliness' and 'I bet Judith is gonna love this!'

And yay for finding the vid of JDM's panel. That was awesome to get to watch. Normally I don't stalk twitter on Con weekends, I just wait for the superfantastic f-list to start posting, but I just couldn't help it with JDM being there! It was awesome!

And nomnomnom your dinner with your mom! And let me just say this before I forget to later... we can definitely share at Tillman's because I am hoping that it completely lives up to my expectations and be hard to pick what to order. :)

And awwww much cuteness with your nephew!!

Vegas was a very good con for people at home; I could follow it almost live through Twitter; only a few seconds after the 'JDM needs his glasses to read erotica'-tweets showed up, some kind soul already shared a video of the event, it was bliss. I rolled around in all the great photos and vids that came out of that for a looooong time. I may have had a liiiiiiiitle bit of a wobbly moment about the beard, but woah the chemistry was just off the charts, so that was quickly forgiven and forgotten *grins*

I'm hoping for more sharing fanpeople during Asylum in 4 weeks, I'll be sure to follow the tags all over the internet! (I keep my fingers crossed someone will do a follow up on that 'John in Vietnam PTSD' question that stumped Jeff, that would be awesome;)
