I'm not really sure how or when it happened but somewhere along the line I ended up in a particularity dull rut and it really started to effect my mood. Its been a long time since I've gone out and done anything new and exciting, and with all the chaos from juggling moving, work and school I needed a chance to have some fun and decompress a little. So at the last possible second I decided to go to a local Sci-fi con over the weekend, I just got back home an hour ago as the con closed at 4pm and I have to say, all things considered it was a lot of fun.

Now I have to admit I spent most the time just wandering around like a lost puppy, I've never even set foot in a con before and had no idea what your supposed to do once you get there. Still it was a fun experience, different but fun! I learned a lot from the different panels I wandered into to, like how to make a convicting steampunk costume without blowing your life's saving on copper tubing and what Crytozoology is.

Even the hotel I stayed at was nice, free breakfast and dinner for guest and free wifi though I didn't bring my computer cause knowing me I would have baked it in the car or accidentally dropped it down an elevator shaft. I'm flat broke with the cost of the hotel, getting a ticket to the con and of course burning gas on a 4 hour round trip between here and there but now I can see why fur cons are such a big to-do around here. I mean if siting in on Klingon Karekokie dosen't liven up your weekend something is seriously messed up. :P


So yeah I'm feeling a lot better and while I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to do fur cons yet I will say I certainly needed that. :)
