I went to DragonCon this weekend. Seeing how I only had a few bucks in my checking account, it probably wasnt the most prudent decision but it was definitely the most fun! I got to see Monica's true dorkdom come out. How can she help if she knows the complete Stargate saga? If she owns Dune out her butt? If she introduced me to Eureka? Can you fight something that has a grip on your soul like that? Nay. I added the Stargate to my qway on Netflix, so we'll see if I turn into the same type of dork. With my chemistry-ness and bookish-ness, I dont need to add sci fi to my repertories. But how can I not watch Stargate after seeing the Megapanel???!!
The only other class I went to was the Eureka class. Eureka seems to be a sci fi show about these science people living near each other. They didnt talk too much about the premise of the show so thats all I really gleaned about the show. But they did talk about how accurate they tried to keep the science. For example, I think some dude in their show was out in space without any protection on. And in Eureka, the guy made it back safely with some blood shot eyes and problems with his tendons and junk. But other movies would have you believe the person would freeze. BUT THERE IS NO AIR (IE, MEDIUM) IN SPACE FOR YOU TO FEEL IT. "They" would also have you believe your lungs would collapse but, in actuality, eventually the pressure difference would 'move' the air out of your lungs but they wouldnt collapse so fast or anything. See? I'm putting "they" in quotes. Does that make me a conspiracy theorist? Aw jeez. I am one of them arent I? Anyways, Eureka got a lot of "flack" for that scene but the eureka people actually did it more in line with science than other movies have.
While Monica went to listen on how to kill a character in sci fi fiction (in some writer's thing), Joe and I went to Alternative Sexualities. But it was just some butch women talking about how Dumbledore was gay. Uh, lame. I can go to Midtown or gmail to talk to D and Wes and have interactions with gay ppl. I wanted to hear about Furries or something. Not about homosexuality in Harry Potter. SNORE. So we left the class and just took pictures of weird people in the Marriot and Hyatt. Oh, and earlier I had went to this Pinup Art Vargas girl thing ... This Guy spoke. He seemed really chill and open. The model he brought along is going to be in Van Wilder 3. I think she's some Christian girl who turns into a slut (in the movie ... I cant make any claims on her in real life). Joe and I ran into him later and he was nice and chatty. I wish I was a photog so I could have learned more stuff from him, but I am not and did not.
And all during this funness, I am dog sitting in Decatur and the dogs are nice but a handful at the same time. Right now as Im typing this, Stella (from Hella) is sitting at my feet and breathing her hot doggy breath into the legs of my lounging pants. She's awesome. Except when its 6 am in the morning and she gets all the dogs barking simultaneously to let her out so she can continue barking and wake the neighbors. Stanley is the older dog. He's pretty chill and I like that. I let him in from outside but he started drinking water while his butt was outside and I had to move his rear to shut the dear; he growled and didnt like that. The second time he partitioned himself halfway in and halfway out the door, I pushed him in and he went along with it. I think that makes us friends, no? Bone is Heather's dog. I didnt like the little bugger upon first meeting him. But once he looked up at me and his ears propped up, I was putty in his little doggy paws. And he sleeps with me. Unfortunately for Stella, he's smaller so gets away with being barky because he's a lot quieter.
MIght post pictures of DragonCon people.
Also, went to Holly's lingerie party! Might post pictures of that too!
