1. Prop 8 Overturned

Photo via weheartit.com

Wednesday marked a very important day in the state of California that will hopefully have a ripple effect on the rest of the country. A federal judge ruled that Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage, was unconstitutional and it was overturned. Being a fan of equal rights (um, who wouldn’t be?) and a firm supporter of gay rights, I could not be happier. In fact, I can’t believe that any sort of discrimination over whom you decide to love is still an issue in 2010 (or was ever an issue really). Congratulations, California!

Happy Hump Day: Steven R. McQueen

Steven McQueen turns Melificent into a raging cougar. Sure, he is 22 years old – not that much younger than me (let’s not age me now), but I still can’t help feeling like a bit of a dirty old woman…especially when we were only a few inches away from each other at Comic-Con a couple of weeks ago. And in case you were wondering, he is related to the “King of Cool,” Steven McQueen, of Bullitt, The Great Escape and the Getaway fame, just to name a few. I’m sure that’s saved him from a few speeding tickets, huh?

Now he’s starring as the emotionally tortured Jeremy Gilbert on The Vampire Diaries (most favorite guilty pleasure ever) and will also be in the ridiculously hilarious (is it supposed to be?) Piranha 3D. So I have a feeling that we’ll be seeing him more often in the future. I know I wouldn’t mind it at all 😉

Comic Con Wrap Up: Day 3

Saturday is usually the busiest day at Comic Con, but this year it seemed to be relatively calm. Please note: seemed. We woke up bright and early at 4am, stumbled into our clothes and jumped in the car. What could possibly have had us up and at ‘em at such an hour? No one else but the boy who lived: Harry Potter.

When we plopped down in (the already massive) line at 5:30am, we were not fully functional and definitely not looking forward to sitting stationery for the next 6 hours. But we were troopers. We napped, we gossiped, we tweeted, we photographed and before we knew it, it was 10:30am and we were being moved into Hall H.

And my sinuses rebelled.

My nose just erupted into hot itchy mess that made me want to rip it off my face and not even a Claritin could help. This lasted the rest of the day. I seriously had moments where I thought I could possibly be allergic to one of the two spectrums: nerd or hot men.  Because Saturday was full of both.

A sad hump day.

Sorry everyone! I’m racing around & am generally a busy bee this week making sure that everything is taken care of before I head out to Comic-Con, so that means I kind of forgot to write up a hump day post. I know, how could I forget this sacred day on my blog? It’s an outrage, for sure. I hope you can all forgive me, but if you can’t, I present to you a peace offering:

C’mon. No one can stay mad at me when I gift them a SkarsgÃ¥rd! 😉
