Yay, student loan moneys!
I know it seems kind of ridiculous on the face of it, what with my medical bills and other school bills all, but I'm laying out some of this to go to some conventions this year. My life isn't stopping because of medical issues - it's not like it suddenly gave me some new skills that are applicable for the job market here in Las Vegas. And if I'm serious about comics, I kind of have to start going. It's unavoidable.
So the cons I'm considering attending are: Gallifrey One (okay this one is just for fun but it's in LA so it's not that splurgey), APE in San Francisco and SPX in Maryland. APE'll probably be pretty cheap because I'll just stay in the SF Hostel up the street - SPX is the one I'm worried about affording.
I'd go to SDCC but I don't think it'll be worth the money, despite how close it is.
I'm also kicking around the idea of buying a flatscreen TV, which sounds completely ridiculous but Wal-Mart has a really good Sony on sale. And I've been trying to eek every little bit of usable space back into that room - if I could toss my old giant CRT and the dresser it sits on, I'd have a lot more breathing room.
