Interesting weekend.

Saturday morning, we got up and headed into NYC for the BIg Apple Comic Con. The Con itself was kind of lame compared to NY Comic Con and poorly setup IMHO. We arrived at 12:30, two and a half hours after the show opened and the line at the door was ridiculous - this was AFTER you picked up your tickets. It was very cold and we had Baby T with us, so khoos played the pregnant card. She begged the ticket staff to see if there was anyway to bypass the line because she is so close to her delivery date, and we had an infant with us. The "manager" came and talk to us, then gave is floor passes which gave us the ability to bypass the line, plus access for the rest of the weekend. smile The real highlight of the weekend was getting to see Suri and Karma again, and finally getting to meet J24U and JennyLou. There were a several SGs in the SG booth that we hadn't met before, and all just as stunning as the next.

Saturday night was "interesting". I'm going to spoiler it for those with a weak stomach:

I've had this lump on the side of my head for a couple of years that was about the size of a lima bean. My doctor told me it was probably a fatty cyst. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't something that needed immediate attention, so I just let it go by the wayside. Having recently shaved my head, GIBrett saw it and offered to try and drain it. We busted out the ghetto surgery kit and had at it. First, he tried some needles I had left over from when I used to have to give my dog fluid on a regular basis. A few pokes resulted in a tiny bit of fluid. We needed something to lance the cyst, so we broke out a razor blade from my utility knife. After a good cut, things started oozing out - I was told it was somewhere between the consistency of toothpaste and cheese from a can. At one point, it actually squirted far enough to land on the foot of FallenGlory, who was sitting next to me. Needless to say, 36 hours later, I'm still getting puss and lumps of sebum out of it.



Sunday was an awful day for the NYC area football teams. The Giants got taken to the woodshed and beaten like a redheaded step-child. I haven't seen a beating like that since Mike Tyson was married to Robin GIvens. tongue Then, the Jets lost to Buffalo in spectacular fashion. It was the battle of who wants to lose this game worse. Mark "The Sanchize" Sanchez threw 5 interceptions and really tried to give Buffalo the win. Buffalo tried really hard not to take it, but managed to kick a field goal in overtime. Yes Bender99, the Bills won, but they still suck ass.

Well, another week of work, possibly heading towards a weekend of driving to and from Canada again. blackeyed

Yeah I am sure I would be incredibly stoked to be rid of something like that.

I didn't shoot any of that footage. I stole it off of youtube. That was all scenes in Buenos Aires, including the "Subte". You can usually sit in the first car and there are windows you can film through. I assume that was how that was done.
