    I moved my cape over to get to my Avengers T-shirt hanging in my closet.

    I upgraded a farm on my Hobbit: KoM within the first half hour of waking up...
  • Yesterday during my morning workout I finished watching the full season of Eureka and moved on to re-watching Warehouse (Firefly and TNG are next up), fixed a few "technical issues" around the office, studied for my Project+ for school, scolded myself for still having my Star Trek Wrath of Khan Mean Maroon still hanging on the door (I need to do a deep clean on it) and had my 15 lb wrench from my steampunk engineer costume land on my foot when I tried to move it. Oh, and put a label maker that isn't working in to my back drawer at work to tinker with when I get time this week. Not the nerdiest of days, but it isn't over yet!

    I went to Best Buy to look for a specific iPhone case for a friend. When I got into the store I ended up going all over the place looking at, and playing with all the gadgets and toys for nearly 2hrs. I also picked up a few Xbox titles including Batman Arkham city GOTY edition for 20$. Left the store and was 1/2 home when I realized, I forgot to do the thing I had gone to Best Buy to begin with.

    I left my place 30 mins before my scheduled physical therapist appointment. Injured my left shoulder and have been going for rehab for a few weeks now. On my way there, I remembered it was comic book Wednesday. My comic book shop, and the physical therapy place, are in the same area within ¼ of a mile of each other. I had 15 mins before my appointment time so naturally, I stopped at the comic book place first. :happy: 30 mins go by before I realized I'm late. I apologize to the young, cute, blonde therapist when I arrive.

    Cute blonde therapist: Traffic?
    Me: No, Wednesday.
    Cute blonde therapist: ( -_-)a *confused* I explain to her about Wednesday is comic book day. She just gives me a :indifferent: Well, she WAS cute

    Later, during my appointment, I am using a hand exercise bike to warm up my shoulders. It has a WATTS and RPM number display that switches between the two every 30 seconds or so. I of course do my darnedest to hit 88 on the RPM. The therapist walks over, wondering why I kept going fast than slow.

    Me: Oh, because I can't go fast enough to reach 1.21 gigawatts on the display, so I'm trying to hit 88 on the RPM side. (which I DID!)
    No longer cute blonde therapist: :huh:
    Me: :bigsmile:
    No longer cute blonde therapist: :noway: and walks away.

    Last of all, I am overly excited about Friday tomorrow, and the start of Seattle's Emerald City Comic-con.

    A group of people were cosplaying on the rooftop car park opposite my workplace, that was pretty dedicated considering how cold it is kudos to you, you foam toting nerds

    Just cosplaying or full on LARPing?

    I downloaded "A Storm of Swords" to my MP3 player and listening to it during cardio sessions on my elliptical in preparation of S3 GoT. Already read the books, so this is me taking it to the next level. :glasses:

    Too Cool!!!

    Today I got sidetracked thinking about how to adjust my Lady Blackhawk costume for DragonCon if I get to my goal weight before then (really need to get back to work).

    mruntidy - what are you working on? If I may ask? :smile:
