Leading up to A-Kon, there was a number of Evolutions meetings, usually at Hudson's, to iron out how it was going down. It started as a Presidential suite, but as practicality and cost became apparent, we ended up with the biggest, non-presidential suite. We ended up with an attached room that Sidd stayed in for Friday and Saturday. The reality ( Read more... )

Someone who's also been amazing to me is Sarah. Even if timing isn't ideal, we always find some time to touch base in person, whether it's burgers on the patio, Chicago food down the street, or fried pies in the middle of nowhere. She's someone who gets me and understands life and is always willing to listen, even when she has a larger burden to ( Read more... )

I was SO HAPPY with the Agents of SHIELD tie in to Age of Ultron, though. :D I wanted to know what the story behind the helicarrier was, and I'm happy that Coulson and Maria brought that one in together. :D

I didn't care that I got home at almost 1 AM after the AoU premiere, I knew that's what I was probably going to be in for, so I was mostly packed when I got home. Meeting Sarah at Arbuckle Fried Pies was the motivator and I got managed to get there within half an hour of the ish designated time, which wasn't bad at all ( Read more... )

In other pure nerdery, Piccolo dragged me to Super Bitcon and I actually had a really great time! I was expecting the typical lame local convention, but there were some pretty awesome vendors there. I wasn't expected boxed stuff and saw a lot of things that I didn't know existed! (Like Mega LD, NES/TV combos, and Love and Berry for the DS.) I ( Read more... )

In other new tech/more gaming stuff, I BOUGHT A WII U. FUCK YEAH BAYONETTA 2. It is pretty much everything I wanted it to be. It's maybe a little too easy because I'm used to Bayonetta 1, but I'm not bleeding Platinums or anything. Pretty much golds and that's a few chapters in. I can't wait to play more, but other things have been getting in ( Read more... )

In other personal things, I've been thinking a lot. Woke up from a dream that sort of cemented where I am now and I feel more and more okay with it. That things are happening for a reason. It's just difficult as time keeps on ticking away ( Read more... )

I was trying really, really hard to make this entry not my first one of the year. But, so it is. I'll be catching up on over six months here very soon. I have a lot written (nearly 10 pages single spaced, I think) and I'll be posting it before the summer's out, surely. But, this is about today ( Read more... )

There's been more phasing out of certain traditions than I'd prefer this year, but this is one that I hope to continue indefinitely. The gratitude and the warmth of all of my friends has fueled me so much this year. So, here's a holiday story for one and all! A bit of anime and video game knowledge is helpful, but never required ( Read more... )

July hit the ground running. July 4th fell on a Friday, so I headed over to Ricky's mom's house for the annual barbecue and firework extravaganza. Save for Ricky's chicken, it was mostly an out of the package affair, although broccoli salad is delicious. And spicy ranch chips are also awesome. A lot of extended family there gave me a bit of ( Read more... )
