My husband introduced me to the podcast NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour. What I like best about it is a segment in which they talk about what is making them happy that particular week. I really like the idea of that, so I have decided that I’m going to share The Current Happy-Making Things. I haven’t decided if this will be a weekly thing, or a ( Read more... )

Oh, Supernatural, what have you done to me? I discovered the Supernatural tag on Tumblr while searching for Supernatural quotes a couple of weeks ago. About a week later, I made my own Tumblr account. I'm both amused by and terrified of the rabid Spnfandom, but grudgingly admit that this is as fannish as I've ever been. And most of them seem to ( Read more... )

I finally got to travel to California! Nick and I, along with Wil and Tyrine, flew out to Cali for Anime Expo, the biggest anime convention in the US. We spent a couple of days in gorgeous San Diego, then the rest of the trip in smoggy LA for the con and to go to Universal Studios. It was such a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go back ( Read more... )

I've made some pretty big changes in my work life in the last couple of months. I've been working as a head veterinary technician at VCC, where I've worked for 10 years. I've been the one to train new techs for the last 5 years. But I've also been going to about 5 or 6 conventions per year with Nick to sell his artwork. In doing this, we met up ( Read more... )

A few months ago, Nick made a deal with Wil, an artist friend of ours. If Wil would play the new Batman games, Nick would watch all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I think it only took 2 months or so to watch all 7 seasons, at 22 episodes each! I'm pretty sure it's now my favorite show of all time. I wish I had watched it when it was on! We ( Read more... )

Nick and I took a one day trip out to Chicago for Wizard Chicago Comic Con. We hadn't decided for sure if we were going to go up until the last minute, but it was SO very worth it! First person I got to meet upon walking into the gigantic dealer's hall was Edward Furlong. No one else was currently at his booth, so I didn't have much time for the ( Read more... )

Today has been an incredible weekend! Actually, last weekend was pretty spectacular, too ( Read more... )

Naka Kon in Kansas City went Very well last weekend!!! We were staying at the Hyatt connected to the Crown Center, so everything we needed was within walking distance. I even got to see the play Maybe Baby, It's You performed in the small theater there. I was dressed as Roxy Richtor and managed a couple of pictures with other Scott Pilgrim ( Read more... )

So...I dyed my hair blonde to cosplay as Roxy Richtor from Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Nick and I will be going to approx 6 conventions this year, so the costume will get a lot of use. The only problem is that I've already become so self conscious about the change! (Mind you, it's not all blond, only the front half with a few streaks in the back ( Read more... )

Just realized that I haven't posted here in Forever, though I tend to check Friends posts nearly every other day or so. Here's a few things that have been happening ( Read more... )
