Tomorrow is day 3 of the conference. Day 1's seminar was great (User Experience basic training). Today's seminar was Measuring Usability, which I *thought* would be all about setting up usability tests. Ha, no. It was ... statistics. Math, more math, and exercises where the instructor led us through (arcane to me) formulas that involved algebra and equations with letters instead of numbers.
Guess who doesn't have a math brain? Guess who spent a part of the day trying to ignore the mounting tide of white noise freakout in her brain? That, on top of my second early morning in a row made me a kind of stressed cupcake.
(Look, I'm just going to admit that 7:30AM, in my world, is a time that happens to OTHER PEOPLE. It shouldn't happen to me.)
On the other hand, I've had fun playing Alice's Mad Tea Party! slots (I'm breaking even), and last night I joined some co-worker types for drinks at the top of The Hotel at Mandalay Bay:
Sunday.
Monday.
Tonight I had food and drinks with the co-workers again, and then trundled off to the Caesar's Palace Forum Shops. Where I bought super SUPER sparkly burgundy eye shadow AND tights that match the super sparkly burgundy. (Seriously. H+M had burgundy lurex tights. How could I resist?) And the place I purchased the eye shadow from carries, miracle of miracles, what may be the answer to my quest for the Holy Grail of lipstick. Yes, Inglot makes a lipstick that is a dead ringer for Vamp. Cheese And Cake For The Celebration Of Blood Wine Lipstick!
(Did I mention I just finished reading Discount Armageddon, and I really want my own colony of Aeslin mice?)
Now, now I am relaxing in my room, sipping a drink made with sparkling wine, vodka, Campari, and bitters, and nibbling on some cheese. (Hail! (Sorry, more Aselin mice. They're adorable. Imagine Clovis, but far more ... chirpy, optimistic, and not out to take over the world.))
So that's my check-in from Vegas. Oh, and I'm still deciding if I want to go see the amazingly cheese-tastic vampire-themed revue.
