I hate my head

So, Halloween. It's my birthday (no, really, 10-31-79 :P I'll be 31 this year), and it's a fun day to dress up.

However, finding a costume for me is always a hard thing. I've generally become good at being able to use other resources (non-costume shop ones) to fill out a particular costume. But there's one area that has always bugged me.... Hats.

I really just need to break down and buy Minecraft

Yes... I just blew an hours worth of my time doing this in the free version of Minecraft. And yes that's the Black Mage from Final Fantasy 1

Don't know what that is? Hows the moss on that rock you live under. It's been featured on webcomics (Penny Arcade for example), gaming news sites and there are dozens of videos on YouTube. Including this one, which is about as much Aspergers as anyone can take in a day.

67th Birthday (Father Update)

So yeah my father's 67th birthday was yesterday. I asked him if he felt old. "Older than dirt" was his reply.

I'm happy to see progress on his toe (or rater, the missing one), but it still hasn't healed 3 weeks later. It hasn't filled up with scar tissue either. So it's just the pit going into his foot. Not the best sign, really.

But some humor for you in this post: I got my father a birthday card that was entitled Anti-ageing quiz. It had a picture of a woman... Yeah she had to have 36F-24-36 as measurements. You open the card and it asks as simple question: What color was her purse?  If you asked "She had a purse?", the card told, you weren't old yet.

No one... not me, not even my mother, didn't have to turn back to the front to find the answer (Green). Laughs all around.

Dispite Better Ideas, Comic-Con to stay in San Diego

So while I perfectly understand moving to new digs is an utter hassel, you'd think this one would be a no brainer. However, announced today, Comic-Con is in fact staying in San Diego through 2015.

As I read the linked article, I think back to my previous post about Hall H and I have to say: You guys are missing the point.

Yes, getting a hotel for the 4 days is a pain in the ass. But that was besides the pont of my post. The SDCC is just too small to host this damn thing anymore.

And yes going to conventions is about waiting for your favorite panel to start... outside... in a line. But given that both Anaheim and LA have larger facilities that could handle multiple Hall H type venues. Think about spreading the damage out and how that would help.

*Sigh* I just don't get it. I will go back again next year, maybe even for a full 4 days if I'm lucky. I'll just be sure to bring some eye protection, or maybe even full riot gear if I plan to see anything in Hall H.
