Rainy Monday Bleh!

Soooo. FCBD was teh awesome! It was nice to be out talking to people. BTW, if anyone would like a Weasel Sampler, just shoot me an email with your snail mail and I’ll send one to you. I’ll also have Nick put up a pdf for downloading this week.

Heather’s birthday was huhyooge! They had to bring out an extra table to fit us all! Of course the tab came up $50 short like it always does, so we ended up spending more than we should have, but whatevs. We went to Twains after Vortex and got home by around 1am.

Yesterday kind of rushed by. We did stuff, but I dunno, I looked up and it was 4pm. WTF? We watched Little Miss Sunshine (finally) and it was funny but not half as amazing as we’d heard. It was a good movie, but not a great one. I like Steve Carell when he’s acting – as opposed to imitating Jim Carrey. The teenage son was the same kid from There Will Be Blood.

This week I’ve got to wrangle our April receipts and round up some household crap and old clothes for the American Kidney Foundation who will be coming round on Thursday. Rob’s Macbook needs repair: he’s got the motherboard issue where the power supply will not charge the battery. I also plan to rework the IndigoDragon logo. We have decided to change the name of the company and website to IndigoDragon Studios. We think it sounds a bit more artistic and will cover the comics side of the biz better.

I also plan to put some crap on eBay this week. Anyone need 2 Special Forces tactical vests of the EXACT type they wear on StarGate SG-1? This model was discontinued so these vests are actually worth something to costumers. I got them last year when I was thinking of doing StarGate costuming, but then decided that it would cost too much to put together the costumes properly. And I got bored with the idea. Heh.

Speaking of eBay, we got a 12″ Cintiq yesterday!! W00t! A Cintiq is a type of Wacom tablet, but rather than a tablet that you write on and see on your monitor, it’s a MONITOR that you write directly onto. They go for $999 retail and we got ours for around $800 after shipping. We totally do not have the money, but it’s a biz expense, so it’s justified. Just as the G5 Nick is getting to run the Cintiq is justified. He really needs these things. Thank gods for lots of biz credit!

Oh, and a heads up: Mercury goes retrograde (Rx) on Wednesday. Expect weirdness, confusion, mayhem and general all round squirrellyness until the first of June. It’s best to not sign contracts or start big projects during a Rx. It’s more of a time to reevaluate, reorganize, reinvent or any other RE word you can think of that doesn’t involve starting new things. Personally, I’ll be reinventing IndigoDragon. The Rx works out great for me for once! :-)
