Got Something You Want To Say?

Lunch time! :woot:

I was able to see partial of the solar eclipse. Too cloudy and rainy today. Still awesome to check out though.

Needless to say, I didn't exercise... Instead, I've been reading the comic book. :beaten:

I'm not into comics at all, but anybody in the area going to this?: http://www.comic-con.org/

It's always looked like a cool event to attend, but I don't want to go alone... :(

Comic-Con is a HUGE event. The last couple of years it's been sold out even before the event began, so unless you pre-registered by mail, you can't get in. It draws something like 125,000 attendees over four days.

The San Diego Convention Center, which is where Comic-Con is held, is across the street from the downtown Gaslamp district (lots of bars, restaurants, and shops plus Petco Park where the Padres play) and down the street from the Embarcadero (lots of bars, restaurants, shops, and boats) so the entire area is a vehicular and foot traffic nightmare during Comic-Con.

Comics make up only a very very small part of this convention. It actually emcompasses all aspects of pop culture. The Hollywood studios use it to drum up publicity for their big blockbuster action movies, and the TV networks use it to showcase their new and popular shows. As a result, you get a parade of big stars who participate in these presentations. Also, close to a thousand exhibitors are present selling anything you can imagine pertaining to pop culture. (Kinokinuya Bookstore every year has a booth) Actually anime and manga are highly represented among exhibitors and presentations. And there are cosplayers everywhere you turn. The whole event is really overwhelming and exhausting because there's so much to see and do. If you haven't been to Comic-Con, it's something I recommend you should experience at least once.

As for me, I stopped going three years ago. I am all Comic-Conned out.

Have I commented on this thread before? Can't remember but I have something to say, I'm happy so I just wanna tell everyone about my happiness XDDDD it's quite sad that something like this would make me so happy ... buuuuut :P

Basically there were 6 copies of the first press release of 'The Quiz Show 2' left on CDJapan and I really wanted it... but had no monies! So I came to Dads tonight (he's back off his hols now) and told him I want it for my Birthday/ Christmas and I just watched him order and pay for it ^0^ I'm so happy hee hee.

So yeah... I'm happy! Also I finally finished my kanji cards today. Basically I decided I was going to do Kanji cards for all the kanji I have learned this year... as it's supposed to be a good way to do things... it has taken me sooo long and I have a tub full but I am so happy and proud now they're all done =D
