'I'd be gay if it weren't for that whole having sex with men thing.' by Kara

AUSA is now in the home stretch. Main thing is to get the car loaded up, as I'm too tired to essentially do anything. And any money left goes into parking because, even though anything I spent lately was an early Christmas present from the g'rents, I still don't want to touch what's mine unless I've gotta.

Which means no dealers' room (except to help people who are in a buying mood make decent decisions), not that it matters, as when you're a mecha fan pretty well anything you want that's good is gonna run you a good $150. Once in a while a dealer is stupid enough to shift something really awesome for about $15 because they don't know what it and it's been collecting dust in the back since about the mid-80s. Unfortunately, many dealers are catching on that they may have some Real Finds. So I guess they figure price it high because if an old-schooler won't pay through the nose for it, it wouldn't get sold anyway.

There was only one Chogokin figure I was drooling over, but the price was so ludicrous that there was no point in being tempted.

At any rate, a decent weekend overall. Went to a couple good panels, the cosplay was actually pretty neat (no Death Note, One Piece, or Naruto skits ... the end times are upon us), got to see people I haven't seen in a while, and got to have party-fun-time Friday despite the fact that I wasn't up for it last night. It was really weird not having responsibilities, and while other people like having free cons, I'm not sure how long I could be left unoccupied.

Gotta try to wake up the roommate so we can get ready to check out. If you have been, suck it up.
