One of those omen things...or not.

So this weekend at Ani-magic was my wife's first try at Cosplaying, which meant that after a week of panicked last-minute costume assembly, she got to pose in her Rosenmaiden outfit...outside. At a convention out in the desert. In the afternoon heat. My wife, who can't sweat, in a beautiful, victorian layered hoop-skirt outfit.

While taking pictures of the group, I looked up to see a vulture gliding overhead, only about fifty feet above. And then another. And then three more. And then four more, all in a line. Now that, I thought to myself, if it isn't a bad omen, nothing is, and gave up hope of contest awards. Instead I started worrying about whether my wife would even survive.

Naturally, her group won best of show.

I guess the vultures wern't so much omen-like, as simply window shopping. They were probably gliding long, going "Hmm...look at all those fans. Surely one or two of the herd are going to keel over, leaving us a nice feast..."

And yeah, I'm extremely proud. Make that EXTREEEEEEMLY proud!

It's going to be weird getting back to a normal schedule at our house. And she's mentioned that she's going to need the computer for the next three days. Hmm- maybe not so weird as ominous. I see omens of a lack of night-time computer use in my future.

Note that when you put a bunch of LJ tags in without commas, they’re all one tag. The entry will be very specific on your tags page, but you won’t see the post on the simple tag “anime”.

Actually, I kind of like the tags as they are. Kind of a specialized interest.
