    A Winner Is Me
    I was exhausted on Monday and busy yesterday, so you get some con details today.

    NYCC was, as the cool kids are saying these days, teh awexome. I saw lots of cosplayers, hung with some cool people, bought a set of five-dollar nunchucks, aaaand I met Jim Butcher. RAWK. I got some stuff signed and it was an amazing experience. Really, he's just another nerd like any of us. He's just a nerd with money.

    Current Mood: Awexome

    I'm Off To See The Wizard
     And by "the wizard" I mean "New York Comic Con". This will be my first time going to a big con, and it's very likely that I'm going to meet my favorite author, Jim Butcher.

    Meep.

    Wish me luck.

    Two posts in as many days? Madness!
    This is SPA- *discount brick'd*

    ...right, sorry. Anyway. A friend of mine (who does not have an LJ) is contributing to a game-review blog, which as a friend, I feel obligated to pimp.

    This guy knows his stuff well enough. Czech it out.

    For The Win!
    I've been messing with a cute little game known as For The Win lately. It's simple; Push button, receive bacon figurines. Said figurines are pop culture parodies in a variety of delightful flavors. There's not much to it, but it's strangely endearing. And if you sign up via the link I provided, I'll get some extra goodies, which would be nice. Give it a try.

    Things On My Desktop
    Well, the top of my bureau, actually, since my actual desk is clear except for my mug of pens. But anyway.

    http://img207.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscf1948mw7.jpg

    From left to right:

    Treasure chest. Contains index cards, on which are cards me and my friends used to play 1000 Blank White Cards. Lots of fun. Try it.
    Toy helicopter with no rotors. Needs no further explanation.
    Pewter wizard. Birthday present from years and years ago.
    Zidane figurine on top of Christmas-themed box. A present from [info]dark_puck. The box is kept out all year because I like the box. Inside is some coins, some ten-sided dice, a screw and a scrabble tile.
    Action figure of Neo from the Matrix. Again, self-explanatory.
    Demonic ducky. Present from a friend. Useful as a distraction.
    Ramune bottle, Bawls bottle, and bottle of "Freaky Dog" soda. Just interesting bottles.
    Tube of Rowntree's Berry Pastiles. Present from a friend of mine who went to London. Really good. Would really like to get hands on more.
    Generic warrior woman figurine. Got at a ren faire.
    Big-headed Spider-Man. Found in a cereal box.
    Can of Duff beer that contains a pack of Simpsons playing cards. I used a sharpie to turn it into a can of Düff. From Sweden.
    Egg timer. An early Christmas present from my mother. I have a nasty tendency to forget things that I, say, put in the oven. Handy!
    Finally, my lava lamp, currently switched off. Purple with pink blobs. Very trippy.

    I do hope this has been informative. Have a nice day.

    NERD!!!!!
    What Be Your Nerd Type?
    Your Result: Literature Nerd
     

    Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works.

    It's okay. I understand.

    Ren Faire 2: Electric Boogaloo
    In other words, I went to my second ever Ren Fair(e) on Saturday, and good times were had by all. This time, however, I brought my camera.


    So yeah. Good times. I need to find me more of these things.

    Fun Day! =D
    I went to a renaissance faire. My first. 'Twas fun. Lots and lots of fun. There were people eating fire. And pointy things. And wenches. Lots and lots of wenches.
    A very fun day indeed. ^_^

    EDIT: Now that I'm not ass-tired, I'll provide a few more details.

    When we arrived, there was a joust about to go down. Many insults were hurled. One of the knights kicked the other in the stones. The crowds called for death. Huzzah.
    There were pointy-shinies of all sorts for sale. Not just swords, but maces, flails, axes, even chainmail suits. There were also magnificently-made staves, horns, fancy garments, even a shop selling misclanious *ahem* leather goods. >_>
    The highlight of the whole thing would have to be the show that went on shortly before we buggered off. A big performance where they did various things with fire. Eating it, dancing with it, lighting various extremeties on it, juggling flaming sticks, and of course, my favorate, a swordfight with flaming swords. Yee, fire!

    And did I mention the wenches?

    Song Meme II: Electric Boogaloo
    Yeah, I've done this before, and I'm doing it again. It's fun! If you don't like it, don't play!

    ...no, wait, come back, I didn't mean it!

    *ahem*

    So anyway. Yeah. If I got one, that came up last time I played this, I'm going to skip it.

    TEH ROOLZ0RZ:

    Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
    Step 2: Post thefirst line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. If the name of the song is in the first line,post the first line that does not contain the song's name. (Note this)
    Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
    Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
    Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.

    9. My friend's got a girlfriend, man he hates that bitch... (dark_puck got it)
    10. Who's peekin' out from under a stairway...
    11. (2nd line) I don't know if you knew that...
    12. How ya doin', Bernie? (dark_puck got it)
    13. What the hell are you standing there for, expecting me to help you... (sairan got it)

    Hey, lookie here, I have an LJ
    I just got back from a weekend in New York City with the parents. Was pretty cool. Got to hook up with some friends, finally got to see Nintendo World (and got a bitchin' T-shirt there), and good times were had by all. Huzzah.

    I'd say more, but there's not much to be said, really. I'm just glad to be home and immoble at the moment.

    Also, expect various memes soon if I don't find something to retain my attention.

    *bookgasm*
    I just finished Proven Guilty, Book 8 of The Dresden Files.

    Holy CRAP. That...was goooood. *lights a cigarette*

    It was worth every minute of the wait. I want to worship the ground that Jim Butcher walks on. That was just phenominal.

    Now to wait for Book 9. ^_^
