So AltCon yesterday was fun. Had been debating whether or not to go, but I think the selling point for me was the panel on Jack T. Chick's religious comics. The guy who runs the Terror of Tallahassee apparently collects them and was presenting a panel on them. Was interesting learning about Jack Chick and his somewhat whacko conspiracy theories.

FreeCon was super fun this year. Attended some cool panels, got to hear Tiffany Grant speak about convention horror stories, and came away having spent my money on a DVD of Legend of Lemnear, the DVDs of the complete series of A.D. Police, the manga of M.D. Geist, and a Sword Art Online poster. Very grateful the event exists, as it's some of the ( Read more... )

Just saw the Game of Thrones season premiere on campus at the SLC. It was amazing and definitely did not disappoint. :D

Class registration is up! Not a big fan of the new registration system's layout, but it does have some neat features, like the shopping cart for example ( Read more... )

Time for coffee and last minute homework! Met up with classmates at Stroz for study sesh last night, became more casual conversation than actual studying but was fun nonetheless. Should be prepared for test, and know all the material, though may have to go back through notes to find small but potentially relevant details ( Read more... )

It's always funny thinking about how there's an entire period of your life that you never tell anyone about: a secret history, if you will, with a beginning, a middle, and an end. It's funny thinking about how that point in life shaped who you are, even made you who you are, and remnants of it resurface in your dreams even though you go about your ( Read more... )

Life's biggest quest right now is finding time that I can safely read novels for fun instead of writing papers or studying for exams. Kind of feeling the Senioritis setting in at this point anyway, which is lame, but I can fight it and keep up with schoolwork. Which, as I said before, is pretty much the only thing I blog about here. That's what ( Read more... )
