A good day

[thebitterguy]

All days off are nice, of course. Today was nice and relaxing. I started off by sleeping in, then headed off to a cleaning at the dentist's. Tartar removal is better than work, which says more about my job than anything else.

Then, after picking up a mozza burger at A&W, it was off to Stoney Creek to get Supercar looked at. I've decided that I'd try a mechanic in Hamilton instead of going to the dealership, because that saves me about $100. No complaints!

Anyway, since I was unable to drive once I had the car in the garage (literally a garage, as it's run out of the mechanic's house), I was spent some time in the mechanic's lounge, which was nice. I read through a few issues of Smart Times, read some of Hogfather, and watched some of the first half of All Good Things.

After Supercar was looked over, I headed back to Mississauga to pick up the beast for roasting tomorrow, and stopped off at Chorizo's for my free burrito, and then headed over to my FNSLCS to pick up some stuff. They don't even pull for me anymore. That hurts. It would hurt more if I didn't usually buy most of my comics at Dragon Lady.

I also picked up a couple boosters of Supernova. Not a great selection, except for the Thanos. Holy crap, that's a nice figure. I think he's officially the biggest non Sentinel fig I have.

Home now, and have decided to spend some time reading the be_victims community, for people who got screwed by the Flanvention thingy.

It is unfortunate what's come to pass, but at least they're in SoCal.

Since you're reading be_victims you'll see this there, the Big Damn Cast has shown up! :) This still must be rough for the people down there, I feel so horribly for them, but having so many people show must be a great moral booster :)

Oh yeah. We''ll be there.

Re-reading Hogfather has become my new Holidays thing.

I know that the Flanvention thing will probably never be resolved to everyone's satisfaction, but the BDHs showing up (plus dinner at the place) certainly sound like a good backup plan.

It's right up there with Die Hard.

This whole story was really my holiday story of the year this year. While it sucks for those who paid money and REALLY sucks for those who found out it was cancelled and didn't go it still was amazing to see that the BDH's came out and participated in the weekend regardless.

Definitely. My Fandom doesn't know how to quit, indeed.
