back in black
Maria is sad because I never update this blog anymore. I am not sure what to write, so I will ease back into things by telling you what I did this weekend:
Friday I had a date! We:
- Ate dinner at a Mexican place on my street I'd never bothered to go to. Pretty good!
- Drank scotch and watched the presidential debate.
- Watched an episode of Buffy ("Doppelgangland"), reciting most of the lines along with it.
Pretty much the best date ever, huh?
Saturday was chock full of geekery! I:
- Met Michael at the National Book Festival to see Neil Gaiman speak about his new book. Michael skipped the talk in order to camp out in line for signatures - good thing, too, because it wound up being a 5-hour wait. Due to Michael's foresight, we got out of there in around 40 minutes.
- Drove with Michael to Baltimore to go to my first Comic Con! Mike Mignola was nice and signed all my stuff (which wasn't much - I only own 3 comic books) I was amazed that there were only 3 people in line to talk to him, especially after witnessing the Gaiman nightmare line. Everyone (Tim Sale, John Acudi, Guy Davis) loved my Frankenstein's Monster tank top.
- Came home, threw on a dress, and met the boy from the previous night's date at Palace of Wonders for the Lucky Daredevil Thrillshow, which included burlesque, fire eating, sword swallowing, a bed of nails, and an upside down suspended escape from a straightjacket.
Today has been girl time! I:
- Went to Crafty Bastards with the craft club gals + Danny. I saw some breakdancing. I heard a band. I bought a shirt for my niece, a Lincoln Log keychain, a pretty wooden pendant, a card wallet, and a WWTWD (what would tom waits do) button which I have unforunately already lost. :(
- ... and soon we will be heading to Asylum for Tribal Cafe bellydance night, hooray!
All in all a pretty great weekend. I'm kind of exhausted, though, and cannot take a nap because there is a street festival going on outside my window.
