Snowtober

It actually snowed, before Halloween! Here in New Brunswick, it was basically just light snow, but non-stop from Friday night until pretty much the whole day Saturday.

I had mixed feelings about what happened. First, I was excited, because it's the first snow of the season (even though technically it's still fall), and IT SNOWED IN OCTOBER! But then I was going to a Halloween party that night and the snow didn't seem so exciting any more. And also, it was my car's first snow!

[It was at least 2-3 inches, on Sunday afternoon]

That is all. I just thought I'd document this on the Internet. Because this happened.

HIMYM 7.06 Mystery vs. History

This is just a little rant because I just watched the episode and was quite disappointed with something. I was going to just tweet about it instead of writing a blog post, but it's pretty hard to explain myself in 140 characters or less. So here it goes...

My first Con!

I went to the New York Comic Con yesterday and it was amazing! We weren't there long. Arrived at around 2 p.m. and left by 8.30 p.m. because we were tired. Sleeping more than 3 hours the previous night would have helped. But it doesn't matter; it was so freaking exciting just to be there!

Walking out of Port Authority in New York City, I already felt it. You'd see A LOT of people wearing graphic t-shirts, mostly of superheroes, and with their Comic Con passes around their necks. I got excited just seeing that.

Once we got to the venue though, the first thing I noticed was how crowded it was. The second thing was, all the cosplayers, and how amazing their costumes were! I should have taken pictures. These people are just awesome. I was too scared to drain my iPhone's battery that I kept it in my pocket most of the time. And now I'm regretting it. Anyways...

I know I'm not the biggest comic books/anime/video games fan, and I wish I was, but it was such an amazing atmosphere that I just loved being there. Walked around the booths, and then went to the autographing tables where we met Jewel Staite, Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh. :)
