Lazy/Busy Weekend
It's been a pretty good weekend, all things considered.
Friday, I went out to see Watchmen with belindabird and takuansoho and despite the fact that there wasn't enough time to have a nice dinner somewhere beforehand, I had an excellent time.
Saturday was spent bumming around Marscon and getting back into the convention season swing of things. Good times were spent with fishay, indagda and willow_one amongst many others. I wasn't on any panels this year, which was actually kind of nice. It's been a while since I've been to a convention just to experience it and not volunteer a ton of hours to. Of course that didn't stop me from talking concom business left and right, but that's just the way of things.
I also stopped into the dealer's room to pick up my long awaited Ronon action figure, so now I have the entire SGA-1 team. Hooray! It's funny because I've been buying the figures one at a time from this same guy at all the local cons for at least a year and a half now, and knowing I would be there, he made sure Ronon was ready and waiting. Apparently the shipment just arrived a couple days before the con. Because he is awesome like that, I also bought a Starbuck figure from him.
Today I spent doing laundry, trying to get the AD AMV contest onto a playable DVD (currently 0 for 3 discs), and other practical things that needed my attention. Between all that, I've been reading cesperanza's new fic, Sheppard's Law, which is every kind of epic, amazing, and hot you would expect from her. Run, don't walk to check it out yourself.
So anyway, I'm feeling generally good and happy about life the universe and everything at the moment. It's good to have a weekend to recharge your batteries every so often and I haven't had one in a while. Now I just need to find some time to catch up on this week's BSG, Sarah Connor, and Dollhouse.
