Free Comic book Day coming up again

This upcoming May the 5th, I will be yet again helping out in my usual clothing (Spider-Man). This will be the third time that I am helping out at the event there at the Readers Den in Claremont.

Costume washing blues

After the last MCQP costume party, I still have one or two costumes to wash which have to be washed by hand. The lack of space and the biting dog outside plus distractions makes this difficult.

I will have to rearrange some things and throw away some boxes.

New wigs have arrived. Most of them are black. I am planning to order new costumes soon and also get a couple of bunny suits for Easter.

Annual Namibia vacation

This last vacation was very relaxing with my family in Namibia.
The heat was a bit less than expected, normally it is hotter there, but the rain season had just started.
the ants (those that bite) were out in full force.

MCQP is here tomorrow

My costume rentals have been going crazy the last couple of days and weeks, due to Mother City Queer Project (MCQP) happening tomorrow. If I get some quiet time tomorrow during the day, then I will get a ticket myself to go there for the first time. If I go there, some of my clients will know how I look like, most will not know. It was difficult to actually still have a costume available for myself, so now I am going with a choice which I wasn't actually expecting and which nobody else wanted unless they were desperate.

Computer virus infestations

A few weeks ago, my PC was infested by two different computer viruses about one week apart. I am not sure if both were present at the same time. One virus blocked all outgoing network traffic to prevent the downloading of virus scanners (I got around that by sending a scanner to it), the other one corrupted every windows executable file on my all of drives. The only thing that wasn't affected was the game Guild Wars, because the auto-update system overwrote its own executable with a new version. That virus was W32/Tenga.A
