Hello everyone!
I’m back in the good ‘ol MIA, but so so sad to say that my Comic-Con adventure is over. The 4 days flew by in a whirlwind of madness. I have never slept or eaten so little in my life. And I have never been happier. It was truly the best birthday I have ever had.
I was considering just making one epic Comic-Con recap post, but it would be too content heavy. So I decided to spread out the posts by day. Today? Thursday.
Guess who?
Unfortunately, our connecting flight to San Diego from Atlanta this morning was delayed due to not one, but three last minute gate changes. Because of this, we will probably be arriving in San Diego a little later than expected, but as a token of their apology, AirTran gave us free in-flight wifi!! This is truly the best thing ever (especially during a 4 hour flight!).
So I am coming to you straight from the sky – how crazy is that? I don’t have to tell you guys how excited I am to be traveling with all of my closest friends (miss you Elsie!), but I have to say I am also frightened of what awaits us. I have already been getting a massive amount of tweets showing the pandemonium that is currently taking place outside of the convention center due to Twilight and Holy Jeebus! Despite not attending the New Moon panel, I should have still made the executive decision to pack full-body armor. Craziness.
Really funny? There are a bunch of fellow CC’ers on the plane with us. We have some dudes behind us that have not stopped stressing out to each other about panels. I just want to whip around and slap them because they are, in turn, stressing me out. Don’t rain on my parade, fuckers!
Anyways, I suppose I will stop rambling now. Being on planes makes me anxious and claustrophobic so any form of distraction is highly welcomed (i.e. a long, incohesive, rambly blog post). It seems like I will only have wifi in the hotel lobby so it’s not looking good for me in terms of blogging daily while in San Diego, but again, follow my Twitter! I’ll be updating (aka: spamming) as much as I possibly can.
Namaste!
The day has finally arrived! Tomorrow morning I’ll be en route to San Diego to attend Comic-Con 2009! I couldn’t be more excited and I really will try my best to blog if possible (don’t know if I have wifi at the hotel or if I’ll have the time!). One thing you can count on is my Twitter. I’ll be live tweeting as much of the event as possible so you’ll want to be keeping an eye on it throughout the rest of the week.
Edit: As of this morning, I have been asked to help contribute to DarkUFO‘s live coverage of Comic-Con! I will be live tweeting from their twitter account throughout the 4 days, so you can check ComicConLive for my reports as well. I will still be posting from my personal account though so make sure you have both added! Thanks for the opportunity, Mr. ODI!
For all those friends I have made out there in Twitter/Blog-land, I’d love to meet up with you! If we seem to be in similar locations or going to the same panels, please reply to me or send me a message on Twitter! Don’t be shy! 😉
For those interested, I plan on attending the following panels:
Summit Entertainment’s New Moon Panel
2:15-3:15pm
This one depends on what time we are able to get to the Convention Center as our plane lands at 11am and I’m sure it’ll take us awhile to pick up our rental car, check in to the hotel and make our way over to the center. I’ve heard crazy Twi-hards have been sleeping on the premises since yesterday – so I’m not sure if I’ll make it in and also not so sure if I will want to endure the torture that is screaming, hysterical tweens.
Showtime: Dexter Panel
5pm-6pm
I will most definitely be here! Love Dexter and can’t wait to see what they have in store for us! Hoping for a Season 4 sneak peek!
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog
8pm-10pm
It took me entirely too long to watch this, despite countless friends’ recommendations, but I am so glad I finally did! I’m a huge fan of the NPH and this only made my love swell! If you like musicals and Joss Whedon, please check it out! You can find it on Hulu. I thought NPH would be there himself, but seems like it was just wishful thinking. Although (from experience), you never know who may show up where at Comic-Con!
So I think it’s pretty safe to put it out to the blogosphere now: the hubs & I are actively house hunting! We are excited, being first time home buyers, but I have to admit it’s been frustrating as well. Just recently, we fell in love with what seemed like “the perfect house” – you know those. The ones you can already imagine yourself in, your kids running around, sharing special life moments, etc. That was the one. And unfortunately it had a contract already pending. Just seems like that is always the case with the places we love – someone has gotten to them first!
But we now have our eyes on a definite fixer-upper. I’m having “my people” swing by with me next week to check out how serious the renovations would be and if it would be worth it. Although some people would shudder at the thought, I think both the hubs and I would do great building up a home from scratch. It just has so much potential. I really hope it works out. But, I guess if it doesn’t – there will always be another home begging to be the next Casa Sanchez.
Look forward to more fun house posts as we get deeper & deeper into the hunt & hopefully closer to closing on our very first home!
I finally decided to take action and get some fringe bangs – I know I had asked all of you for your opinion earlier on this post, but my ultimate inspiration came from one of my newest blogger obsessions: Naomi, from Rockstar Diaries. Is it silly to wish to be her when I grow up? Anyways, all girl crushes aside, I made the executive decision to try out the Aveda Institute in Ft. Lauderdale since I had heard so many raves about it & was impressed with the pricing. Granted, students are the ones working on your hair, but I have to say I was impressed. My student looked like she wanted to possibly end her life, but she did well. I am super happy with my new fringe and freshly layered hair. So I totally recommend them and will probably be dropping by often as their other services are ridiculously inexpensive: manicure for $10, highlights for $48? Yes please! Too bad it’s a little ways away from me, but definitely worth the hike!
This weekend went by entirely too fast, but I have to say that I didn’t mind this time around. Why? I only have a 3-day work week because I will be leaving to San Diego on (very) early Thursday morning to attend Comic-Con!!!! I can’t believe the week has finally arrived! I remember buying our tickets back in November and thinking it was a million light years away – now, it’s right around the corner! This definitely deserves a Melificent-worthy SQUEEEEEE!
Have a great week, everyone!
