Fear Me!
Those of you who visit Adam's myO site probably have already seen the Samurai Panda video I sent to him. By reading his Panda Propaganda you all know he likes to tell you about how evil I am. Well, it's not true at all. Threats? Oh no, no, no! I just send Adam lots of, well, let's just call them PSA's. You know, Panda Service Announcements! It's my civic duty to make sure he is aware of the perils of challenging pandas.
Pandas are gentle...why would anyone think they are dangerous?!
Ok, enough of this silliness. Let me give you some background on that video. The first time I saw it was on Animal Planet on one of those "animals caught on tape" shows. They actually show 2 different panda attack videos. The one I posted here starts off with the guy in the jean jacket sitting with his back to the panda enclosure. The panda waddles up and starts to grab his jacket. (This is where the above clip starts.) Then after the panda gets the guy's jacket it waddles back over to a grassy area and plays with the jacket. Perhaps the panda was upset since this guy had his back to the bear. No one likes to be ignored after all. Or maybe this panda just wanted to look stylish in denim. I guess only that particular panda knows the reason why it did what it did.
Oh, just on a side note the other "attack" video was a guy getting his bottom swatted by a panda. Yet again, another case of a guy with his back turned to the panda...when will these guys learn you can't ignore the panda! Well, it's either that or pandas just love to slap guys' butts and rip their clothes off! Rawr! Fear Frisky Panda Bears! ~_^
Okay, moving on. I have some odds and ends I've got to update you on. I'm still not feeling super duper but I am on the mend. I can type now with only minimal pain. Woo Hoo! I really to appreciate all the well wishes and e-cards. You guys are really sweet. I have a great group of friends here on theO. Thanks so much. Now if only this winter weather here in Washington would go away. It flippin' snowed here yesterday! I want sunshine and blue skies! Can someone in a warm and sunny part of the world please send me some summer weather. I would really appreciate it!
I do have some Nifty news. I made the final cut in the Nifty Fifty over on theOB. ^_^ I was very happy to be nominated again this year. With so many other worthy Nifty nominations I feel very humble and honored to be included in this great list. The post with all the mini banners for each of the Fifty is in itself Nifty. I think next year I am going to nominate the layout of the Nifty Fifty list! Congratulations to all the other Nifty Fifty!! Two years in a row I've made the final cut...I really must be Nifty!
Only 2 weeks until Sakura-con! I was very lucky that I finished up my costume before this last flare up. John's still working on his. This year should be interesting since this is going to be the convention's first year in the convention center. I still need to decide if I am going to pay for parking or just have a friend drop us off at the convention center. It's like $27 a day for parking! That is $27 a day for my car to sit there or I could use that $27 dollars a day in the Dealer's Room instead. Meh. If only I were made of money this wouldn't be a problem!
I guess that is about it for now. I need to send out some emails, get some work done around theO and harass Adam some more. Laters kids!

Everyone: Thanks for all the well wishes. I am starting to feel better and I am sure it is from all the good vibes everyone has been sending my way. My spirits are always high even if my joints are swollen and sore. You guys rock.
Fear Me!
