It's been so long. The newest excuse is: I don't have internet access. Plain and simple. I mean, I have pseudo-access through my phone, but it's mediocre at best, and my battery gets all drained to shit when I use it with internet, so I try to keep it at a minimum.
Tonight, though, the computer gets transported from old place to new place. I don't really have a place to put it, but I'll figure it out. Can't be any worse than my old roommate putting his tower on the floor, the monitor on top of that, and sitting on a pillow in the living room, next to the couch. Worst desk ever.
I went to Fallcon '08 on Saturday, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Caroline came with, and my brother showed up, too. The $10 admission ($11-$1 for a canned food donation. Caroline supplied re-fried beans...I'm sure the kiddies will be thrilled)
for 2 hours spent there was WELL worth it. I saw Ghostbusters, Spider-Men, Superman/Superwoman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Thor, Wonder Woman (va-va-voom!) Elasti-girl, the original Batmobile, the Bat-Cycle (complete with Robin's sidecar, WITH the go-kart accessory...brilliant!), and a slew of other things. My friend, Dan, of bewilderedkid.com had a table there and was selling his wares. He was also sporting the besthandlebar horseshoe moustache I've seen since the 70's.
All in all it was a really good time. I'm so glad I went. And I wasn't even looking for anything in particular. I just wanted to go.
The worst thing about the con? No camera. Seriously, my freshly re-charged batteries...not fresh...not recharged. Soooooo upset.

Thanks for the plug Geoff! It was nice to see you...this was the best FallCon I've ever been to. BTW, it's a horseshoe moustache, not handlebar. HORSESHOE DAMNIT!
Fixed. HORSESHOE!
I had a great time there. I wish I had more of an agenda for going there. I'm in more of a sell mode than I am in a buy mode right now.
Needless to say, I did have a great time, and you can be damn sure that I'm making it to Microcon next year.
