SPN LA Convention...

...OMG.  fickleone and I are flying out tomorrow morning at the ungodly hour of 6:50 am.  We're in LA by about 9:00!  Hopefully we'll be able to check into the hotel waaayyy early!

I'm now officially off of work.  So much to do!

( Check list for getting out-the-door )

Boy that was a boring list.

I think I'm still in denial about this trip.  When I let myself think about it too much I get waaayyy too excited. 

I finally caved yesterday and bought Photoshop CS for my Mac.  I'd been wanting to get it for over a year since the previous version I had only worked on my old Windows-based laptop.  That's the software that supposed to be arriving today!  I Can. Not. Wait.  I love Photoshop and playing with graphics and photos.  I'm excited about being able to do stuff with all the photos/vids I take at the LA Con.  Plus I have a bunch of family photo stuff that's been waiting for me to get this software.

ETA:  And the second I posted this I received an email from Creation about the posting of the "final?" schedule for this weekend.  Here. 

ETA 2:  I promised some work friends and family members that I'd spam them with info over the weekend.  I will be doing the same on my LJ.  I can't link these other folks to my LJ because I just don't want to worry about fully expressing myself and I definitely keep my work environment free from some of my freedom of expression items!  (grin).  So I either have to cut/paste into email or figure out that LJ filter stuff.  I don't even know if I can set up the filters to keep some people *only* viewing some things.  But you know?  My LJ is mostly public and I don't feel like changing that.  So if I even tell them my LJ name that would be a potential problem.  So cut/paste I guess it is.

Should I have Kripke sign this????

I didn't expect this to come in the mail prior to leaving for the LA Convention.   It's the uncut limited edition picture of the Devil's Due S2 trading cards.  I'm considering having Kripke sign it and perhaps paying for one more autograph from each of the boys and having them sign it as well.  Any opinions?



And then these cards have arrived as well.  I'm having the boys sign a photo of both of them together.  So should I spring for more signatures for any/all/subset of these cards and/or photos of each of the boys separately?  How obsessive/greedy should I be?

Sandy...

Several LJ'ers have posted to the Sandy interview (here).

Everyone was saying how much they loved her and how terrific she was in the article.  I figured, yeah right.  Don't get me wrong.  I really like Sandy.  But I figured everyone was just being squee-y (is that a word?).  And overly enthusiastic.

But then I read the article.

Okay, I'm joining the squee-fest.  Sandy is really terrific.  I can really see her and Jared together.  They are *both* lucky.  Not just Sandy.  Not just Jared.  Man I really hope Hollywood doesn't end up killing their relationship.

I really want them (her) to have that studio together.

Now I'm looking forward to seeing her this weekend even more.

I had just returned from Kinkos where I was able to get good prints of Sandy in the crossroads scene in case I got her autograph.  I found myself thinking that my obsession has gone so far that I'm printing photos of one of the leads girlfriends.  But again...then I read the article.

This weekend's gonna be good.
