Comics!

1 min read
I love comics. Been reading them all my life. Finally feel caught up to the Now and the New so I've been blogging some thoughts, maybe review is too strong of a wiord. But if you like comics join me at homiebear.blogspot.ca/
Like, what do you think of Gail Simone's unceremonious firing? Pretty much sucks.

Omazing's a word, isn't it? It should be! Or how about OMGazing? No, how about not. Anyways.
As you know, Pallas invented the new superhero, Owie Badguy, and I dressed up as him for Halloween. Pretty sweet.
Now there's even a couple of Owie Badguy good arts out there- check them out:

:icondrmistytang: did one for me: mistytang.deviantart.com/art/P…

Animethon 19

2 min read
Animethon 19 was this weekend. I wish I knew what a great convention this was before now- one year, maybe in 1998 or so I blundered into it and it was tiny. There were maybe a dozen people in a classroom watching an anime movie, my friend and I popped in to watch for a bit and then we left, and that seemed to be the extent of it. Turns out it's grown since then. I think I heard there were something like 7000 people there over the course of the weekend- not bad at all. I went on Friday thinking I would zip into the artist alley since I knew :iconquirkilicious: would be there, and wound up making a weekend of it. Even brought the family out on Sunday.
One of the things that I think is really cool about it is it's been held at Grant Macewan College (University now) which is one of my favorite buildings ever. Crazy towers and spiral staircases and walkways and a big clock and stuff.  Great quad-type greenspace outside which provides great backdrops for cosplay photography. And I took about 150 photos, which you can see here: www.flickr.com/photos/homiebea…
Downside- they announced at the closing ceremony that there would be no Animethon 20 unless a whole lot of people stepped up to volunteer and share some of the load. Or even take full-time jobs?

Do you like sketch cards? I do. My friend :iconflyingspidergirl: is selling some that she's drawn on ebay, you can find her auctions here:

So I wwent down to Calgary for my 3rd Calgary Expo in 4 years. Took holidays from work for it, bought my pass months in advance, but due to extremely poor planning on their part, kind of had a mixy match weekend. By the time I got there on Friday there was only an hour left, since the doors closed at 8. 8!  What convention ends at 8?
Saturday was the big day, the entire cast of The Next Generation was reunited for the first time in over 20 years. The fire marshall wound up shutting the doors and so thousands upon thousands of people, those with passes or without, it didn't matter, were stuck outside. I stepped off the floor to have a sandwich before going to a panel and was then SOL for the rest of the day. Luckily I still had a great time talking to many many othet convention-goers who were in a similar situation. Ie I made the most of a shitty situation but it wasn't the day I paid for.
Anyways, here is the link to the photoset from the day:

New car!

1 min read
My old car gave me some troubles a while back, which led to some fun adventures, but cost quite a bit of money. So I decided I should get a new car just to avoid future hassles.
I got a new Mazda CX-5!  Kind of a CUV if you all up on your automobilish terms of endearment. Apparently the Lorax drives one. Or something. Here's a pic for now- just one my wife took with her phone:
