Will probably be ripping my hair out due to busy-ness today, but for now, here's a tale from the NY Comiccon. I think it proves that no matter how much I squee over Hello Kitty and like putting on pretty nail polish and things, I am primarily a geek foremost, and girly girl second.

There's a woman with a booth selling cute little clear plastic totes, only the front of the totes have record covers and comics in them. We're running by it so that we don't get crushed to death, and my train of thought is as follows: "Oh, that's cute, they're little purses! That's a neat idea! I'd get one if they weren't $70. Seriously, I could probably do that fairly easily from home, just a few supplies THAT'S ISSUE ONE OF THE 92 CATWOMAN SERIES WITH THE SPECIAL EMBOSSED COVER AND YOU TURNED IT INTO A PURSE?!"

Fin.

Poor Selina Kyle Killed for Fashion

Sorry I'll let it go in about 2-3 weeks.

When I have 30 seconds, I totally want to hear what happened. I saw on Fox sunday night, they had a blurb about turning people away in one of their 11pm news promos, but forgot to watch the news.

I saw the thing, they filmed some stuff on Sunday and had people saying things like "This is great, I'm glad comics are so popular" Not a single nagative comment about the con on camera.
Instead of Saturday with VERY ANGRY people and crying children.

Wait, does this mean I'm not as nerdy as you? I DEMAND A RE-MEASUREMENT OF MY BOOBS.

Check out newsarama.com for one article about the crowding--damn, I'm glad we had our passes and didn't bother to do more than shop. It really seems like it wouldn't have been worth it.
