Today in real life I attended the final day of the local comic convention. Aside from spending a bunch of money on memorabilia I never even knew I wanted, I dished out an extra $60 for a photo of Leonard Nimoy, from who I may have gotten an autograph from but
still couldn't seem to stop my
hands from trembling long enough to get
a half-decent picture of the guy. ONE celebrity interaction and
I turn into Michael J. Fox. Later, during the remainder of my journey, A WILD TF2 SOLDIER APPEARED. I used RESPECTFUL REQUEST FOR A PHOTO and it was
SUPER EFFECTIVE. He's a lot nicer than all the fanfics and videos and in-game taunts make him out to be. Did you know he's a photographer in his spare time? High point of the day, though, would have to be coming across a shirtless black guy wearing khaki pants and a sweater around his neck. Upon my asking if he was cosplaying who I thought he was cosplaying, he then
held up his bottle of Old Spice and said "Why yes, yes I am" in
his best imitation voice. I snerk'd harder than I would like to admit.
Here's a picture of my loot if you wanted to see what I bought. [In case you were wondering, those two decals are actually pins that are supposed to go on hats to express your emotion in the most anime-esque way possible.
Like so. I do believe they may be the geekiest things I have ever purchased.] Sorry for the complete lack of pictures including myself at the convention--I kinda went on my own and didn't want to have to keep bugging random strangers to take my picture all the time.
Have some Jedi as compensation.
Today on the internets I've
uploaded a YouTube video in the spirit of
Pink Floyd / Wizard of Oz crossovers, but instead of psychedelic rock it's Top 40 synthpop and instead of a classic American musical it's the introduction video for a zombipocalyptic video game. Even though my production is about as 'in spirit' as
Switzerland war participation, it's both amazing and scary just how well the two actually match up.
Today in fiction ideas were conceived but no actual writing got done, aside for some more tidbit adding to the Scout/Auxi coming-home fic, now tentatively titled
Snapshots & Virtues. It'll make sense when it's done, I
hope promise.
