Gads, where does the time go?? We’re about 2.5 weeks out from the Con and I’m getting excited about it. Not the Con, really, but the experience. The Con has no big guests this year at all. I am not even sure that there’s anyone new! I’m not surprised by this, sadly. It’s the slow degradation of what used to be a great Con.

The weekend was very productive and fun. We went out Friday night to Thinking Man and we went to FireFest in Oakhurst yesterday. In between the social outings, we worked on the house. It was a lovely weekend to spend outside!

This week is fairly slow until Friday, when we CLOSE on our REFI!! W00t! The closing is at 3pm and we plan to be in L5P by 4. There will be much eating, drinking and being merry! Next week, there is a pre-DragonCon party on Friday that we plan to attend. That’s all we have booked until the Con itself.

Hopefully, we’ll have the issues with a friend worked out by the party, but no matter what we’ll have closure. She’ll either decide to work it out or not and we’re good either way.

That’s it for this Moanday. Everyone have a great week!

I love movie nights! Nick and I like to see movies at the theatre, so about once a month we’ll go to our AMC at the Mall for Movie Night. At our AMC theatre, you can pay for one movie and see as many as you can stand, so we usually go for 2 at a time.

This time we saw The Bourne Supremacy and I, Robot. The Bourne sequel was well paced, but it left me feeling like, “Eh, whatever!”. There was not a stick of decent dialog in the whole movie and none of the characters were particularly interesting. On the other hand, Will Smith’s I, Robot was GREAT! It was interesting, the dialog was very good, the characters were fleshed out and the story was very well done. I’d see it again. Will has a shower scene early in the movie and lemme tell ya, that boy is gorgeous!! He has kept much of his Ali physique – for those of you who aren’t familiar, he put on about 30 pounds of muscle for his role in Ali and honey, it’s in ALL the right places. Whew! Jada is a lucky woman! :-)

Also, I’d like to thank Caroline for a fabulous weekend! We had too much fun! In addition, her helpful explanations about the mysteries of ‘hood living were very enlightening. Caroline is somewhat of an authority, since she grew up in the New Orleans ghetto. Thanks, girlie!!

I noticed that I only had one entry showing this week, which means that I’ve become lax in my blogging of late. That’s what happens when I’m distracted by one crappy development after another. Bah!

I’m SO GLAD that July is over. It sucked and I was mostly not happy during much of it. Neither was Nick. He even neglected to pay the fucking bills!! Yes, that’s right, we paid about $60 in fees simply because he forgot to click the buttons online to pay them. Talk about an out of whack month! It’s not like we didn’t have the money – which would have been a whole different thing!

So, anyway, stuff going on plus we had to crank out 3 pieces of marketing materials for Rob on the fly last week. We’ve been busy in addition to semi whacked out.

We tried out our rolls for DragonCon on Saturday and they were truly underwhelming. I’ll have to have at least 2 to get anything. ::sigh:: So, now I have to find more. Dammit! We’re exactly a month away and I am getting the preCon jitters already. I always LOVE the last few weeks before the Con. So much going on, so much to do. It’s great.

Which reminds me, I need to adjust my room reservation. Gotta go!
