Our first Con?
by Denise Sawicki on July 10, 2009

Darrell and I are thinking of going to this: http://www.valleycon.com/. We have never been to such an event before, and it is kind of expensive, but:
A. Londo is one of our favorite TV characters ever
B. It's not like we ever spend money on anything fun really
C. This person says "this is the only con I have been to where you can actually hang out with the guests and have a couple of drinks," which sounds promising
D. We actually have a figurine of Londo
E. It's something we should maybe experience once!
F. We might be able to look geeky enough by reusing our Prisoner outfits
Anyone have any words of wisdom on what to expect?

Sewing Project?
So... we are into this goofy show "The Prisoner" lately and decided we want to go as people from that show for Halloween. That is, assuming anyone invites us to a party of any kind. Go »
Narcissist
Oh lord, new worry, what if I'm a narcissist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_Personality_Disorder "NPD is considered to result from a person’s belief that he or she is flawed in a way that makes the person fundamentally unacceptable to others [8]. Go »
Sorry about that extra tall image
Sorry I screwed up the obsessions page with that tall image. But it is true, I have a new obsession. Gee... Go »
Found things, jerkishness, fuzziness
This morning I found my black pants that have been gone for nigh on a year. They weren't even anywhere weird. They were just on the floor in the closet. Go »
New Camera
I didn't realize you could get a digital camera for $15 now... Once I became aware of this fact, I had to have one! Darrin got rid of his camera phone and this will serve the same purpose. Go »

I definitely recommend it. Cons can be pricey, especially if you start buying any of the many products for sale, but they're a lot of fun too. Panels are good; trivia games are really good; people-watching with all those costumes is the best.
