So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

Well done. This will worry him more than just about any other possible course of action. Misdirection isn’t just for stage magic.
Kill em with kindness. Or I could throw in the thing in the Bible and what Jesus said about turning other cheek. Either way, this is a very interesting way to handle things. It’s funny how some of the more pacifist methods tend to work. Although Jim is probably going to keep that grudge.
Bork con really needs to update their webpage… or is the comic moving slow enough that it really is only 2014?
It’s got to be killing him that Lynn isn’t pitching a fit, getting upset, etc etc. He wants a confrontation and he’s not getting it. Lynn acting like absolutely nothing happened. Sweet
I almost wonder if Lynn responding like was preciously Jim’s intent somewhere, as if he’s trying to prove his claims of her being dangerous. Honestly though, I don’t think he’s dumb enough to aim exactly for that since it means he would be purposely trying to provoke violence. Jim’s an douchebag, but I don’t think (and I could be wrong) that he’d stoop as low as someone getting injured on purpose.
Non-physical hostile reactions and insults though, yeah, he was definitely hoping for that.
Random question. Why do the cons keep putting Bork Con and Unagi Con next to each other at the Ambassador Alley?
Because it’s conducive to funny comic strips!
In-universe? Maybe lack of space? That sounds plausible…
Yea I figure it sets up for the joke, but I’m just wondering how that keep happens in the said universe. This just might be a coincidence this time, if this happens a third time, then something is clearly fishy.
Might be some con specific organization method that only the cons themselves are privy to. That or they’re just putting the ambassador tables all in one area and there aren’t that many to the point it just keeps happening by coincidence.
According to the staff mailing list that they still haven’t removed me from, They weren’t a problem in the past and they already told Whatsitcon that they couldn’t be moved without messing up the program book so nobody else could be moved without looking really bad.
Bugs bunny that stoping ass be super nice to him it will drive him NUTS
