Hello all, and happy Monday.

Anyone have any good stories from over the weekend? Any fun things from Comic Con come out for your canon or the like?

I was pretty busy away this weekend, working on RCG Council, The Big Book surprise for my step father's 75th birthday on Wednesday, and some Hawaii Five-0 season one blitzkrieging, BUT there were so many fun Comic Con things about Once Upon a Time and Haven. Those both made me insanely excited for everything showing up on tumblr and twitter. The fall cannot come soon enough.



Also, pimping for those who love it, Amazon's Gold Deal of the Day is the whole Eureka series 63% off.

Was visiting relatives this weekend, with two adorable kids, ages 5 and 3. It was near bedtime, and both were pretending to be cats. But the 3 year old didn't want to put on pajamas. So I told her, "cats always do what they're told. So you should go put on your pajamas." She hopped off the couch and ran up stairs, meowing all the way.

The mother had quoted Bill Cosby to us earlier in the day: parents don't care about justice. All they want is some peace and quiet! This is very true.

Comic Con produced nothing that grabbed me. DC never makes any really big announcements at this event, and there was no news from the other companies that made me go squee.

Apparently there were a bunch of teasy Pony things, including advance screenings of a couple of the songs from next season. I haven't watched those, myself. Apparently there's some kind of Crystal Empire showing up; I choose to believe it's a mining consortium with delusions of grandeur.

Nothing for the others, but I didn't really expect anything at Comic Con. E3, maybe, but that didn't come through this year either.

You neglected to mention that THERE'S GONNA BE A FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC COMIC SERIES THIS NOVEMBER.

*happy fangirl dance*

I learned to lay a roller skating floor! And then watched two bouts with scores of 259-77 and 294-95

And I've almost got turn around toe stops & ploughs down.

[innerbrat]

PS. I am Not. Talking. About what came out of Comic Con for my canon. Fucking Didio. How does he work?

[rorypond]

KAREN AND THE BABES AT NERD HQ. *______*

It was 47 minutes of pure hipster amazingness. I just love these ridiculous people.


Otherwise, the final season of Fringe is making me a bit wary, Once Upon a Time has so far given me stoked emotions about Mulan and AURORAAAAAAAA (one of my favourite Disney Princesses ahhhhhhh) and I am kind of looking forward to seeing Lucy Liu in Elementary. And hope that it doesn't suck.

[dynastessa]

OH. And soahdosid how could I forget.

The cast of Game of Thrones remained FLAW FREE (seriously tho: Emilia Clarke and Rose Leslie are the PRETTIEST and Michelle Fairley and Richard Madden are too cute for words, and HOW does Michelle look SO HOT idek) and there are like five million new people being added to the new season.

It's going to be cray.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Um... hrm. I don't think anything came out from Comic Con for any of my canons. Sorry. On the other hand, I got to do ninety minutes of kayaking around the Jersey City side of New York Harbor and Liberty State Park, which was neat. People don't realize that even in Jersey City there are dragonflies and schools of peanut bunker (Atlantic menhaden fish the size of my thumb) and mockingbirds and all kinds of things.

[gavin62truck]

I was bleary-eyed when I misread "schools of peanut bunker" and I was like awesome, there are schools of peanut butter!

[1nv1nc1ble]

I did nothing of importance, except testing systems at work after renovation of a part of the office. I did start the Red Dead Redemption survival horror DLC, which is proof that RockStar gets the good drugs. (Zombie bears, man... I don't know what.)

[bjornwilde]

I spent the weekend mostly with visiting family from out of town. We did go to the beach, the SJ Children's Discovery Museum and saw Ice Age 4.

As to news, well not really my canon but Iron Man 3 had some pretty pictures of armor (I think the Extremis armor needs to be golden or brass not the dull gold they have), Thor's next movie is named though I have no idea what it means, and there is going to be a Guardians of the Galaxy movie with Groot, Rocket Raccoon and Peter Quill! I really hope Bug is in it as well and they cast Alan Cummings for the roll.

CAPTAIN AMERICA 2: THE WINTER SOLDIER.



There was also stuff about The Hobbit and Merlin, but mostly CAPTAIN AMERICA 2: THE WINTER SOLDIER.


Is it 2014 yet?

[alexiscartwheel]

Buckyyyyy!!!

I really have nothing coherent to say about this development.

[aberration]

I currently have only one open canon, and I don't believe there was anything particularly Parks and Rec related out of Comic-Con. Though it wouldn't have surprised me if there was.

In hopefully-soon-to-be one of my canons, however, I thought the Korra stuff that came out all looked really cool. And I was gratified that a large amount of my own headcanon for Asami was suddenly not just headcanon anymore. That was pretty sweet.

In terms of stories, I spent this weekend the same way I'm sure I'll spend this week: holed up in my room studying, only going out occasionally for walks when I can't take it anymore, or food. Um. Some guy at the Vietnamese place where I was getting takeout gave me a dragon fruit? It was interesting!

[gottadealwithit]

Are we surprised to hear Korra slips in and out of the Avatar state in order to win at air-scooter?

I am not.

[sky_child]

Wasn't nothin' in E3 about my canons so there weren't nothin' in ComicCon, either.

[ladysingsthe]

This weekend I SIGNED MY LEASE like a MOTHERF#%#@CKING ADULT.

First grownup apartment here I coooome.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Congratulations!

[agoodmusekickin]

I survived Comic Con, that's about the most important thing I can think of at the moment. Though...that's probably due to the fact that I'm so brain dead it's not even funny.

Or maybe it is funny and I'm just too tired to laugh.

I missed the Korra panel and signing AND the Ninja Turtle Panel, but not the Ninja Turtle signing. So I got to talk to the voice actors and there was much squeeing.

Turtles: I'm starting to get kind of excited for the new toon. It looks really silly, but I could totally be down for really silly if the voice acting is there...and it appears to be.

Korra: I line befriended a bunch of cosplayers and got some of the scoop on what's on deck for Korra. Oh yeah, totally going to be Joss'd with Bumi. There's just no doubt about that.

DC Nation: I didn't think I was going to get into this panel, which was then moderated by Kevin Smith. That was exciting. Beware the Batman kind of looks awesome, as does the next season of the GL cartoon. But then...I'm a Guy Gardner girl, and hes on it this time around. Also? I got to see a clip of Hal getting his butt kicked by a squirrel. You can't go wrong with that!

[sdelmonte]

You been listening to Fat Man on the Batman?

[wakeupnew]

Everything from Comic-Con in RE: Glee (which, I have yet to understand what in the world Glee is doing at Comic-Con every year) was blood and fire. Or it made me feel that way, anyway, in the way where I was SO IRRITATED that I just had to laugh, because it was either that or let my head explode.

[ladysingsthe]

Oh god what


No

[ceitfianna]

I didn't really sleep enough but work was quiet and I finally made some progress on a fic that's been lagging. Last night I had the clever idea of taking a decongestant before I slept which made it hard to sleep.

Saturday was quiet though I have a feeling I'm going to be very grumpy during Art Fair.

I've been tired and not sleeping enough, which makes me much more aware of people in my space. The sidewalks are already starting to get crowded and its not even Art Fair yet and I need to do more packing and cleaning and things.

[bcgphoenix]

I am also wary of the news re: Fringe's last season, but...I have been wary of Fringe for a while, so that's nothing new. *wry* HOWEVER, the cast remains forever a delight. (Spoilers for the upcoming season in that link.)

I didn't pay attention to anything out of the SPN panel, except for this and the pictures Richard Speight Jr. took over on Twitter.

In Potential Future Canon Land: all of the Korra info looked pretty neat! And I'm still doing a dance of glee over the fact that we basically get three more seasons of that show. Yessssss.

Oh, and I got to visit an amazing local artisan chocolate shop yesterday, including taking a tour of their ittybitty factory and meeting the head chocolatier. Holy crap. Amazing. *_* I cannot DESCRIBE how good their stuff tasted, omg.

[sardonicynic]

Not my canon in the slightest, but the stories about the Firefly 10th anniversary reunion panel made my heart grow three sizes. (Y'all have probably already seen these! But, hey-oh, linkage below just in case.)

I mean, seriously -- Joss Whedon is a golden god for greeting his Browncoats at 2:30 in the morning.

Entertainment Weekly live-blogged the panel itself, and there's a short, absolutely priceless post-panel interview with Summer Glau, Sean Maher, the Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, and Tim Minear at the bottom. Oh, show.

[msofarc]

You know what happened this weekend? Breaking Bad. That's what.

[mmexlibris]

Fuck yeah, Breaking Bad. I'm going to mainline all of Fourth Season to get caught up.

This may be as ill-advised as watching nothing but Fight Club on repeat for 24 hours. But I really kinda don't care anymore.

[imagemist]

I survived my family vacation, including Givskud with the wettest lions ever (and three buffalo calves playing catch in the rain)and a just as wet Legoland.

I was being all informative and educational at the vvarious living history museums we went to as well - only my 3yo never pays attention. So it's hilarious when she retells me (gravely and solemnly) what she just misheard I said. As in -

Her: "Mom, mom? You know something? In the very, very, old, old days, they didn't have any coffee pots."

Me: "Really, honey?"

Her: "Nope. They had to drink from a bucket." *serious nod*

[mmexlibris]

This weekend was a family drama shit storm of epic proportions. Seriously, law enforcement has been consulted. Next stop, legal aid.

People, talk to your parents about what they want you to do in case they start to lose their memory. Arrange some sort of prearranged catcher-to-pitcher sign language, or maybe brightly coloured semaphore, so they know you're really not kidding, they know you've got their back and aren't just trying to fuck with them. (Because that's what I do all day, sit home and think of ways to fuck with my elderly parents, yep.)

In other words, I spent all weekend watching my twitter feed, and desperately wishing I was at ComicCon being Someone Anyone Who Is Not Me.
