Orifice Politics

Like a few people on my f-list, I have a quest:

To collect figures of all the characters I've RPed throughout the years. This is not an easy task since I tend to lean towards minor/background/underused characters. I've been semi-fortunate for some figures, but others have surprised me with their lack of figures. So in this post, I'll be keeping track of all the stuff I manage to come across in the name of my RP collection. I'm not sure how to set it up yet, but I'm sure I'll figure something out soon. XD

( It's probably going to get long. )

She's simply beautiful. Griffon did a great job.

Really, Griffon? I was only vaguely interested in Nue until I saw this. Just toss Byakuren in and I'm as good as broke. :(

Now that I've finally gotten my photos sized and uploaded, it's time for my thoughts on Comic Con.

As many of you folks know, I'm no stranger to comic conventions. I used to go to a couple back in Houston and I attended Mega Con during my Florida days. However, none of those prepared me for this. Comic Con was a whole other beast. 120,000 people flocked to the San Diego Convention Center for 4 days of nerdy goodness. I was there for two. So sit back and relax, because this is gonna be one long, photo-heavy post.

( Day One: Friday! )

( Day Two: Saturday! )

Overall, I had a really good time. I'm considering going in 2010, though if I do, I don't want to drive down there alone again. Everything was handled well for the most part, and while there were shortcomings, they weren't enough to discourage me from wanting to return. Besides, I'd love to hang out with everyone again!

Well, not really.

I'm gonna be planning a yard sale for the end of the year, so I can raise money (and get rid of a buncha stuff) for the move. I've asked around, but I wanted to ask you guys:

How the hell do you hold a yard sale for an apartment? I know it's possible, and I can't exactly do it from the place itself. My co-worker said to hold it outside the complex and on the sidewalk... the only problem is I live on a major thoroughfare and I don't want to gunk up traffic on Flamingo.

On the plus side it'll be basically a geek yard sale as I'd be selling some CDs, manga, possibly video games, posters, wallscrolls, etc. My biggest load off my chest though would be the two dead computers I have. I'm gonna have to sacrifice a lot of memories from the Gatedump and brainwipe it for it to be sellable. The E-Machine I just need to get rid of. XD Hey it would make for good spare parts.

I figured this would be easier as opposed to selling my stuff online. If anything I'll sell my Hard Rock stuff on eLame along with a couple of artbooks. Once I'm ready I'll have you guys get the first dibs on my stuff. At least with all of you I know my stuff will go to a good home. :)

As you prolly read in my roomie mature's journal, we've just returned from our vacation in Houston, Texas.

( And now, here's the results of that trial. )

An so Halloween has passed.

It was much quieter than my past Halloweens, but I don't mind. I went to the Las Vegas Comicon this year and I have to say that I was pretty disappointed in the lack of decent costumes going around. There was one chick dressed as Kill Bill's Gogo, and that was pretty cool. Others had more of a Star Wars/Star Trek thing going for them. Oh, and there were these two really cute black guys dressed as Batman and Superman. That made me happy. Of course I already knew I was gonna have a decent time because the moment I set foot into the Mandalay Bay casino Peter Gabriel's "Big Time" was on the house music. XD

I managed to score a decent amount of booty at this con: a Vampire Hunter D poster, some Weiss Kreuz pins for mah Stefi, A signed Ruth Thompson print for my Lauren, A superhero "successories" print for the dad, and a bargain $10 SNK artbook for... me.

All in all it was a good time. Wish I had more money for some of those spiffy video game t-shirts though....
