"Oh, My B*lls!" and other things learned at Comic Con

It has taken me a full week to recover from our 2 days at Comic Con in New York. The dreams featuring adult males in spandex, Princess Leias, the random fan boy have pretty much subsided. But what an awesome weekend! Some highlights:

1. Shannon Hale-the coolest! A gal that can write novels, GNs, and can sing the He-Man theme. My hero.

2. The stars of Moonlight-this marks the second time Gigs has ridden an elevator with a actor that plays a vampire detective on television, the first being David Boreanaz who played Angel. Admittedly being in an elevator in such close proximity with David, who smelled so nice, was more exciting, but I did learn a new catchphrase from Alex O'Loughlin, the aforementioned "Oh my b*lls!" as in "oh my gosh!"

3. Neil Patrick Harris-he was there to promote the new Harold and Kumar movie, and let me tell you ladies and gents, he is more handsome in person, with a great sense of humor. The first question asked of him was "In the first movie, did you really do [drugs]?" Excuse me, but you have one opportunity to ask him anything, and that is what you come up with? Luckily Mr. Harris gave it right back to him, "Right, like I did 20 takes of me doing real [drugs]!" I don't even know how he was able to look that guy in the eye! But he handled it all with patience and was very thankful to the fans. And when he spoke, he spoke clearly and he sat up straight--I very much appreciated that. He also dressed very nicely, not the same t-shirt and jeans other guests wore.

4. Randomly--and I mean randomly, walking into a Milo Ventimiglia signing. It wasn't promoted, and I just walked into a table--me being the klutz that I am--and there he was. and, yes, he is even more good looking in person. And he wore a suit!

5. Seth Green-normally he would be at the top of my list, complete with a picture. But you needed a ticket to meet him, and alas, I did not have one. That's ok, given that this girl behind me in line, was having a literal hissy fit over the situation, I thought it be best and act my age, and say to the poor assistant, "It's ok, really. I am fine following the rules. Really. " I like to think that if Seth happened to hear the commotion, he would appreciate what I had said rather than psycho-b*tch. She almost hit the assistant in frustration!

6. Brendan Fraiser-I'm sorry it's too soon to go there. But wow. Ummm.....next time, a little less caffeine for Mr. Fraiser. Still, I do want to see The Mummy 3 this summer.

So what did we learn at Comic Con? Stars are people too. No need to scream, swear, be obnoxious, hover, follow them around. Authors are the biggest and brightest stars around (and more approachable too). Being a klutz can be a good thing. I am destined to share an elevator with another actor who plays a vampire detective in the future--why stop the streak now? Neil Patrick Harris really is legendary!

Willow vs. Angel--who will win?

Greetings fair blog readers! I know it's been ages (2 weeks!) since my last post. Gigs had a bit of a meltdown-well, her laptop did anyway. But it's back! I'm back! And I have nothing to talk about at the moment.

Let's gossip for a moment...so is Ashlee Simpson really pregnant? Was Britney really in another car accident? Do I care?

Bones is back! At 8PM on Mondays no less. Don't I have enough to content with? Now the networks are actually making me choose between Willow and Angel ("mmmm...Angel")! What's a girl to do? At least Faith isn't in the mix (Eliza Dushku's new show Dollhouse isn't on till fall). Talk about being pulled in three different directions! I am SO not ready for that one.

Been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer over from the beginning. I always said Season 3 was my fav (probably b/c of a certain other slayer that made her debut) But I think I seriously underestimated Season 2, of which I am about halfway through.
It's very good...even tho Angel is a bit like a mopey puppy. Get bad already!
