Yet another item to pre-order!

Ack! They are making a Boomer and Athena action figure set! Guess I need to pre-order those. It says they are schedule for an October release, but knowing Diamond that means April 2010 so I've got plenty of time.

I'm a bit giddy right now as faeriesfolly and I have been plotting going to Dragon*Con together all night. I so hope it works out. I haven't been to a convention since Celebration III and that was all Star Wars. Dragon*Con would be like...the rest of my fandoms all in one place! Plus, road trip! So cross your fingers that our supervisors are feeling generous tomorrow.

Picked up the set of 4 Star Trek glasses today from Burger King. I didn't realize they were actually made out of glass! Gotta be gentle with them. And, of course, the frakkers put them in pretty cardboard boxes so I have to save those...I need a bigger closet.

heehee, trying not to jinx the d*con...i will stop spazzing...until it is official. :D

whole new kind of crazy!

I'M GOING TO DRAGON*CON!!!!!!!!!!

I got my leave approved this afternoon and I just put in a reservation for a hotel room AND bought my membership badge.

OMGOMG SO EXCITED!

Not only will I get to go to this fun convention of geekiness, but I will FINALLY get to meet faeriesfolly and jellibean, two lovely ladies that I've been chatting with via LJ for so many years now.

**SQUEE**

So, now I'm brainstorming low-tech costumes that I could handle with my lack of skillz and my lack of budget. First, I thought of Dr. Saunders & an Active. All we would need is a white lab coat and some scar make-up for Dr. Saunders and for the Active, a tank top and yoga pants. VOILA! Then I just say "I want to be my best" and I'm totally cosplaying like a pro. (and I think Dr. Saunders should carry a clipboard that allows her to keep track of any "Man Reactions" in the area LOL!)

I was also pondering buying a Merlotte's t-shirt and then just wearing black shorts and tennis shoes - I'm a waitress! Maybe we could put little bite marks on our necks and be total fang-bangers haha.

Ah what else...I have 105 days so I could probably track down a Starbuck-esque tank top and have her off duty uniform...that can't be too hard to make, yes?

I still have all the parts to my really lame ESB Luke Skywalker outfit which was just some brown boots, loose khaki pants, green tank top and my Yoda backpack. Oh, and I had my lightsaber but I don't think I'll drag that down to GA.

la la la...yes, I will be spazzing over this between now and September. I apologize in advance.
