Believe it or Not

So I have a few things to catch up on.

First, 2 weeks ago Kevin and I went to the Emerald City Comicon. For those of you who don't speak geek that is the comic book convention that is in Seattle. It was my first comicon. It was super fun. I met an amazing artist, looked in lots of fun booths and saw a lot of super geeks dressed up in costumes (Kevin and I are so dressing up next time we go). We took lots of pictures and I'll refer you to Kevin's blog to see them. I'll just post a picture of the prints and comic books we bought from the amazing artist. Her name is Camilla d'Errico.

She also drew some quick sketches on the backs of our comics.

Second, and this is the "believe it or not" part, yesterday Kevin and I celebrated our one-year dating aniversary. I know, I couldn't believe it either! We went to Lewiston . We walked around downtown and shoped in some of the little shops, which was fun because I haven't actually been through downtown. Then we went out to dinner and a movie. First we ate at Red Lobster. I got wood-grilled salmon with rice and brocolli, oh and by the way Red Lobster serves the best brocolli ever. Kevin ordered steak and lobster, which is his favorite ever. We went and watched Dragonball Evolution, which I think just goest to show we are the perfect geek couple because we both wanted to see it. It was good. Overall it was the best one-year dating aniversary I have ever celebrated. These are the flowers that Kevin bought me, cuz he's so great!

Filler Post

It's been a while since I've posted (I did promise one a week), so I'm writting this filler post for now.
I discovered a great song through Rock Band and I thought I'd share. It is Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold. If you watch this just take special notice when they show close-ups of the drummer or lead guitarist. They are freaking amazing!

New Project

So, here is my new project. Backstory: A while ago Kevin bought a new t.v. and it was so big that he also had to buy a new t.v. stand for it. And there sat his old one, and sat, and sat. When I moved into my new apartment I decided I wanted a new stand for my t.v. After looking around online for a while I found a bunch that I liked and a bunch that I could afford, but none that I liked and could afford. So Kevin offered me his old one and I took it. Brilliant right?! Well, almost.

Here is the color of the entertainment center.

And, here is the color of the rest of my living room furniture.

And, yes, I am at a point where I want my furniture to match as much as possible. So my solution was to sand, stain and refinish the entertainment center. So right now I am a sandin' fool and if you ever need anything sanded don't call me because it uses more arm muscle than I currently have and it tickles my arms up to my elbows.

Anyway, I will keep you all updated on my entertainment center project.

Blog Update

Ok, so I know it's been a while (and by while I mean a freaking long time) since I updated my blog. I'm sorry. But, I have now made it a goal to keep up with my posts, so expect more than one a decade from now on. I'm shooting for a post a week ... I hope. I don't really feel like a long dissertation on my life right now, though, but I promise the next one will have an update on me.

(That was my way of getting you to check back in soon. My "cliffhanger.")

The comic is a blast from my past. Ok, maybe not too distant past cuz I still find myself "marching" to music.

all the matter in the world
is how much that i like you"

Two things: a) it's about freaking time I updated my blog, b) it's my turn to talk about the new tv season.
I love premier week ... ok, mostly I love tv shows. You would think that my entire life would revolve around this glorious time, but it apparently does not. I was an idiot and gave three tests the week before premier week. So what did I spend premier week doing? Not watching premiers! No, I was grading tests. But the tests are graded and I have caught up on all the shows from last week. So here's the rundown. Monday night was predictable. Chuck is still the funniest show on television and Heroes confused me. Dancing with the stars just made me want to learn how to dance. Oh and the comedian can't dance. Tuesday night was expected yet unexpected. Tuesday night is NCIS, and I had totally forgotten the season finale, which was bad because one of the main characters had died and the team had been split up. Yes, I had to deal with that death all over again. Dancing with the stars just made me want to learn how to dance and I was right the comedian couldn't dance. Wednesday night is for Pushing Daisies, but that doesn't start 'till next week and can I just say how excited I am that it is still on air. Dancing with the Stars just made me want the Jonas Brothers ... wait I'm not 12! Thursday is Ugly Betty. She is still the same old Ugly Betty, which is good because she's great. Friday is for Numb3rs and Moonlight, but Numb3rs also doesn't start untill next week and apparently Moonlight was canceled. Did they even ask me?! Tonight there is a new Home Makeover Extreme Makeover Home Makeover? whatever it's called and a new Brother's and Sister, so I'll be watching those tomorrow. Which means cry, cry, cry and laugh. There you have it, me and my tv. No Grey's Anatomy yet, Tish, and no Supernatural ever Donele.
