lydamorehouseToday is shaping up to be a productive and possibly social day for me. I managed to get a bunch of errands all done before 9:00 am (including returning a purchase to Target) and Shawn just e-mailed to say she might be available for a lunch get-together. At 1:00 pm I'm going to be meeting a friend from KSW to read his astrology chart. So, that's like twice as many people as I usually see in any given afternoon.
Otherwise, after about fifteen minutes or so, I'm planning on getting up off my sorry butt and doing the dishes while watching Anime. I'm still working through the original (1984) FullMetal Alchemist. Mason suggested I just give up on it since so many people seem to prefer The Brotherhood, but I'm stubbornly seeing the storyline through to the end. Because I'm like that.
CONvergence is clearly picking up steam, as I've been contacted a bunch of times about various preferences and arrangments. I still can't quite believe how awesome it is that I'm going to be one of their guests this year. This is the event, after all, that much of the Twin Cities simply refers to as "Con" (which implies it's the ONLY ONE, Highlander-style.)
It has now been confirmed by the programming guy that my con schedule for CONvergence is "crazy busy." Anton had earlier hinted that my programming was "a metric tonne." So, I guess I get to have ALL THE PANELS. Hooray! It's like Christmas in July!

I'm not sure the author of FMA was out of DIAPERS in 1984.
ETA: Okay, she was out of diapers, but she was still several years from getting into high school.

Date: 2012-04-18 05:33 pm (UTC)My wife was watching Red Photon Zillion, Mobile Suit Gundam, the original Space Cruiser Yamato, and so on back then, on pirated VHS tapes she showed to me later. I didn't get into anime until 1991, through her, though my first fan interests go back into the 80s (Saint Seiya, Dragonball/DBZ, YST).
