Many apologies.

I wasn't able to get home until an hour ago, and I have an essay due, and I have this huge headache, so I won't be talking AX tonight. I am very sorry, but a delay was bound to come along sooner or later.

Instead, you just get Comment Commentary.

Ethan- Yeah, about that.. I never got one of you with the sign. Just the sign.

It's okay, you'll live.

Mimmi- Well, I try.

Shin- I don't get the origins of the word. Care to explain for us?

satan665- I've never really been hellbent on going to Comic-Con. It's always right after AX and I'm out of cash, plus it's like $65 for all four days. I'm assuming you get a lot more programming, but that's still a pretty steep price.

Godel- When we were in line for the masquerade, there was a girl with a yaoi paddle who slapped some Wario cosplayer in front of her. It started working.

Shin- I still like the kid with the "ninjas killed my family, please give donations for martial arts training" one. I got a good picture of him.

..And that's it. Again, I apologize.

EDIT: Hm.. Seems AX will be in Long Beach Convention Center in 2007. The Shriners got to the center that year, apparently.

And you don't want to fuck with the Shriners.

EDIT 2:

Something interesting and cool to look at is happening right now, and since I feel bad about the AX delay, I got a couple of more recent pictures up just now.

It's fire season, and here in California that means that we're going to have to take in a lot of smoke. Since we're in the desert up here, I'm pretty used to it, but the first "nearby" fire of the year is happening right now.. Pretty close to my house. I didn't get a picture of the fire itself, but I got a couple shots of my street, which is really, really fogged up with all of the smoke.



Let's not forget that my camera sucks at nighttime. This one still came out pretty cool.. I don't quite get why it came out orange, though. Normally our street lights give off a more yellow look. This one reminds me of The Exorcist.



This one's more representative of the smoke itself. Those aren't smudges on the lens.. It's ashes, heh. It was cool to see in motion.



This one's my favorite, though. I tried getting a shot of the pillar of smoke, but that didn't happen, obviously. One of the funny things about this fire is that it is right by one of the housing complexes we were considering moving into. I never liked the location- I preferred the place nestled more snugly between a bunch of nice, non-flammable buildings- and I guess now we won't have to worry about that anyway.

Not to sound goth-poetic, but I like fire. The smell is what does it for me.. I love the smell of brushfire. It's also pretty cool to see (assuming it's not burning down your house as you watch it). The dancing flames are pretty mesmerising.

And I'm done now.
