I've had a pretty eventful week so far, I feel.
On Saturday,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
scheherezhad, dungeonmarm, Zarita, my dad and I all went to ComiCon-way, the first annual comicon for our little city, and it was pretty fun. We stayed for two hours or so, and we got to see Storm Troopers and two Deadpools dance Gangam-Style, so I figure our con experience was solid. I also saw a panel on Batman and Psychology, and Zarita bought me Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight, so that was cool. I didn't have any money (because I am super, super broke) but as I didn't see any Batwoman, Renee Montoya, or Violent Messiahs merchandise, I was okay with it.
Seriously, sometimes I look at my fannish obsessions and wonder why I'm so intensely attached to them, but I guess every fangirl wonders that.
After our con visit, we went to Layla's Diner for dinner, and it was really good. I'd like to go there again sometime.
Tuesday and Wednesday I worked. It's so difficult to be in the work mindset again, because I really, really enjoyed having nothing to do. However, after working customer service on the phone for so long, it's nice to see people's faces again. People really are nicer face to face.
Yesterday,dungeonmarm had a day off, so we went to the comic book store and had breakfast at Stoby's before I went to work, and then after he picked me up again, and we went to the theater to see the encore showing of the Met's Otello. Verdi's music was wonderful, but the libretto was awful. Otello's singer was basically in blackface (D:) and while his voice was spectacular, his acting...really left something to be desired. (double D:)
The Tempest is playing on November 28th, so that might be fun to see. It's in English, though, so I'll be very sad if they don't give us subtitles, because I can barely hear as it is.
Today, I have been lazy, because shark week has started, and I have to go to work tomorrow. On the other hand, I have the weekend free, so yay?
As for NaNo...ha. I am so full of fail, I don't even.

Yeah, I often wonder why the hell I get so attached to my fandoms and wonder what's wrong with me since they, you know, don't exist. But then I think, fuck it! They bring me joy so I am going to own that obsessiveness.
I still kind of resent the work mindset. I had *years* of nothing to do and I liked it. Don't get me wrong, I like to be busy and have work to do, but if I won the lottery, then I would totally be okay locking myself away in my house and doing nothing.

The only thing I like about work is that I get money for it. If I could get off my stupid butt and write a novel like I'm always swearing, I'd be published, too. >:(
