Mediawest*Con 2013, part 1: My weekend with Elvis

Yup, another Mediawest*Con has come and gone and for the first time in a long time, Elvis went to the con. Since our third roomie roomed with two of her friends, Elvis shared the bed with me, at least for two nights, until I realized he was always deflated in the a.m, so I booted him and brought in the snake instead. Not to mention, the mockingly sarcastic comments from friends of "she's giving him another blowjob" accompanied all my rescuciation efforts on poor Elvis.

Mediawest*Con 2013, part 2: Food, zines and doors

I think I blew most of my budget on food. It's easy to do when you eat out, even when you get a free continental breakfast!

However, a group of us did go see Star Trek: Into Darkness, and I can see why fans are so enamored of Benedict Cumberbatch. He was fantastic as the bad guy, whose name I will not post for the 2% of fans who have yet to see the film and don't want spoilers. However, it's obvious J.J. Abrams has taken over as yes, someone DIES. Darn. And they're doing a spin/retelling of Star Trek the classic series. I liked the film, but would like more characterization over action, although the action scenes were good, and pay attention to small details, as they crop up in critical moments later on ;)
