Con envy

Here it comes...Convention season is about to hit full swing and I don't have a single one on my calendar.

I mean, I've been to SDCC, I *know* it's a crazy insane wilderness where half the stuff you see covered online are things that you, as a normal person, would never be able to gain access to anyway. But still...once those tweets and blog posts start showing up, I'm going to be like "OH I WANT TO BE THERE"

Or at least somewhere like it.

Not going to Dragon*Con this year either. I'm hoping that we can make that an every-other-year event. The only person I'm really sad I won't get to meet is Amy Acker but I'm crossing my fingers that, like most of the guests, she has so much fun she comes back for more D*C in the future.

I might try to go to Baltimore Comic-Con or Shore Leave but those Cons are so tiny and I tend to go to these things to meet the celebrities and hear them talk and neither of them have anyone I'm rabid over right now. But still, it might make a fun outting on a Saturday.

too pretty to live

Jux
to close August 31

The first time I showed jux to my
friend, her immediate comment was "it's too pretty" and I think that was
it's downfall. While some might find tumblr, wordpress, blogger, etc. too
plain, it didn't feel like you were pressured to create anything amazing.
As soon as you post on Jux, you feel like your silly little blog about
favorite movies just doesn't come up to the standard of what the site was
meant for.

Sorry Jux. We hardly knew you. You were just too beautiful for the
internetz.
