Comic Con on Sunday!

Okay, I've finally finished our SF road trip posts! It's about damn time. Just scroll below or check here to see all at once.

Started work last week. This new year round schedule kind of sucks only because it cut my vacation in half by one month! Anyhow, I have to live with it!

Looking forward to:

1 - As lame as this sounds, my hair cut this Saturday - gotta get my asymmetrical spikey do going on again...plus I adore my hair stylist! She is awesome!

2 -The new episode of True Blood this Sunday! Hello there! Did you see Episode 5? Woo! Viking flashback anyone? Even in the throes of death, Eric Northman was still an arrogant bastard..."Wherever I go...there will always be women...".

and 3 -
OMFG, the Comic Con this Sunday!!! We used to go on Thursdays and/or Fridays but since I have to work (and also because we don't have tickets for those days), we are going on Sunday!!



I'm going to miss all that crazy New Moon shit since that'll be tomorrow when I have work. A few of my students are planning to go so I'll probably get the deets from them. They're not Team Edward though - they are Team Taycob (ha ha, Taylor Lautner's the guy who plays Bella's new love interest, Jacob Black. This is the kid who played "Sharkboy" in the kid movie, "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl"). I'm not fanatical enough to wait overnight (some people are actually doing that right now as I type) and sleep on the sidewalk waiting to get in early tomorrow. Sheeyit, hell no! I mean, yes, RPattz will be there, but to be stuck in a room full of 6,000+ tweens/teens/gay twi-boys/twi-Moms/cougars screaming their heads off? No thanks. I'll have to YouTube the footage and crack up at home instead.

Last year it was crazy with "Twilight". Sunday should be a little less crazy but not by much. I'm not really looking for anything in particular. I plan to check out these booths:
Giant Robot, J-List, Summit (New Moon!), Bud Plant Books, Comic Relief (from Berkeley), Graphiti Grafix, Mile High Comics, Alcatraz High (featuring San Diego's own Bobby Rubio, a Pinoy who did "Avatar - the Last Airbender" and is now working for Pixar), Tokidoki (Simone Legno will also be there but not on Sunday), Drawn & Quarterly, Kitchen Sink Press, Dark Horse Comics, Vertigo, Bongo Comics (they do the Simpsons), Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and more shit that I can't think of. Also - I plan to check out the Alternative press section as well as any booths related to pop culture (for example, they had a 'Garbage Pail Kids' booth once). We may attend some cartooning workshops with our daughter too. Speaking of which...

TC will be in a very cool costume, which I will reveal after Comic Con is over! It's custom made and it's from an animated series! This lady I know from my gym is a seamstress. She makes costumes for the ballet. This is her first custom made costume for an animated series. It cost over $100 but it's worth it. For all the time and labor and the cost of materials, TC will be wearing this costume at least more than three times!
