Comic-Con Envy

So it's come to that time of year again where it's impossible to pass anywhere on the internet without bumping into some mention of one convention or another. SDCC (San Diego Comic-Con, if you didn't already know), VidCon, Ascendio, LeakyCon; they're everywhere, their names just sitting on my monitor as though mocking my lack of monetary funds and all the other reasons that teenagers with no jobs or other nerdy friends don't get to go to cons. 

And to me it seemed like watching YouTube videos of all the panels from SDCC I so badly wanted to be at, would be a good idea! That totally wasn't going to make me any more jealous! Seriously though, that Firefly panel; if that was all I could have gone to I would have been an extremely happy person. Watching it just confirmed to me what I (and every other Browncoat and whatever you call fans of Buffy, Angel and Dollhouse) already knew; Joss Whedon is a freaking genius, as are all the amazing actors/writers/designers/coffee makers/shoe shiners that work on his productions. I swear every sentence that comes out of that man's mouth is a fully formed quite of awesome, sure to do the rounds on Tumblr until someone invents a more addictive, but time wasting website. Basically I want his brain.*

Other panels I watched were Community (you know, I think maybe season four will be okay after all), Game of Thrones (I'm glad that George RR Martin realises that death and boobs are the things he's most known for), The Hobbit (could that line-up have been any better?), The Big Bang Theory (a) Mayim Bialik and b) they sent someone to SPACE!) and I feel like they were more that I'm forgetting completely. I've actually found myself having conversations with people about Comic-Con as though I was there, which I should perhaps find concerning. Anyway I haven't dome this for a while...

Books read this year: 55
