That Did Not Happen in My Future

[spectralbovine]

I'm calling it: I am never going to write a series of epic posts about Comic-Con. I am simply far too busy. The abridged version covers most of what happened, but for more Comic-Con goodness, including all the crazy costumes, you will have to check out my Facebook albums.

And, you know, while you're there, you should really check out my Dinosaur

Oooh! I did that London Walks JtR tour a long time ago. I did several of their tours, and--stupid me--missed out on a Sherlock Holmes tour led by Jeremy Brett.

That would be awesome if you turned to play writing.

[spectralbovine]

Yeah, I did a bunch of London Walks tours; they were good stuff.

The good thing about writing these short scenes is that some of them I kind of want to turn into short stories. Of course, this means I have to find/make the time to write.

Sunil!! That's it. All I've got. No, wait, I've missed your updates. And I wish I lived in the Bay area so I could actually go see you perform.

[spectralbovine]

Rae!!

Aw. I wish you lived here too!

even white people respect their elders

Methinks they're not as in touch with white culture as they think they are. Maybe I should give my mom your parents' phone number so she can confirm for them that white kids are extremely disrespectful and ungrateful. (Although perhaps my sample of 1 family is unscientific.)

[spectralbovine]

It's pretty funny because they also pull out the "white people don't give a shit about family" argument. MAKE UP YOUR MIND ABOUT WHITE PEOPLE GUYS.

I don’t think “respect” is the word they’re aiming for. Obedience sounds more like it. :P

Ooh, vocabulary burn!

Oh, parents. They never do change, do they? Mine seem to have forgotten that visiting two divorced parents is twice as much work as visiting one set of non-divorced parents and still insist on the same number of visits. Blargh. ::hugs:: Sorry to hear yours are being such a pain.

I remember starting From Hell years ago when the film came out and being totally turned off by the art. I love architectural details, but it became very frustrating very quickly when I couldn't tell the characters apart. I'd probably have been far less bothered if it were a regular novel rather than a graphic novel.

[spectralbovine]

Yeah, it really bugged the crap out of me to the point where I couldn't see the point of its being a graphic novel when the art was so bad. The art wasn't helping tell the story; it was hindering the storytelling.
