Perks & Crowdfunding

Long weekend, is actually a very welcome thing this weekend. Its the most normal week I've had since like September... like I worked 4 8hr days, save a half hour 7pm call on Thursday but I'm letting that slide.

Code8.com and the Amell crowdfunding movie is up and running, Con Man was fun to contribute to, but this is even more engaging and interactive... which is something considering how engaging Nathan & Alan were for Con Man... PJ too... Just upgraded to the newly unlocked swag bag perk... possibly the perfect perk in my opinion... and i can spend my money how i want... i'm slowly learning... but i cant go nuts...

Seriously this week has been such a nice unwinding from the last 6 months of crazy that had been happening with work.

Jump in, all in!

So I was issued a quazi challenge, my mom told me I didnt know how to spend money on myself, not that it isnt accurate, it is, I *know* how to do it, I just generally dont. Regardless, as a result I got myself a ticket and hotel for HVFF in July... so looks like I'm going alone... shocking!

Spring may be arriving

Don't want to jinx anything, but if this week's forecast is any indication I should be able to put the winter coat away.

So... July.... HVFF? Alone? I feel like I may be able to talk myself into actually doing it... the trick, I think, may be to figure out how to make some acquantifriends until then and maybe have them graduate to friends.... seems simple right? totally not... but perhaps this is the plan as it stands right now.. no tickets bought just yet but I'm close... also I was thinking driving would be less overall hassle but more annoying.... especially the drive home.... though I may able to visit the Sluka's perhaps take a little detour to south jersey? maybe, maybe not; dunno still a few months away...

This weekend I didnt work and its been nice to shut my work brain off for a few days.... I got some errands done, put up some stuff on the walls i'd been meaning to do... two of those things being the hood police sketch and Oliver's booking sheet.... there are two things about teh booking sheet that are annoying, one, its got Stephens' birthday and the profile shot is a mirror not a R/L.... yes I'm aware its a replica/mockup whatnot but i dunno still would have liked at least the bday to have been Olivers...

Also interesting tidbit, perhaps just a tidbit; interesting may be pushing it. I own 2 TV shows, DVD sets I mean.... those are Arrow and LOST. What do they have in common? Well they're layered, with either backstory and/or mythology, which really makes them infinitely rewatchable to see something new or glean something different each time you watch. There should be more shows like these in that respect. In addition to that, they both hold the title of only shows I've purchased tie-in material to, now Arrow is lightyears ahead in the tie-in/companion/enrichment; because lets face it Bad Twin was just not the same thing.

No Work Weekend!

Also HVFF Chicago was this weekend, is this weekend... still got a whole day left, you know less an hour.... Anyway.. I still want to go... even though Kim can't I still want to, which is weird for me... I talked to Mom today and she says I need help spending money on myself and/or my house, ok yeah I'm terrible at it, but baby steps, right? I mean I do now subscribe to Lootcrate, Geek Fuel, Marvel CC & Legion of Collectors... so I sorta spend on myself sometimes... anyway it'd be a good self spend...

I feel like if I bought a ticket now it'd be harder for me to back out, because if I'm going I'm going all in... Gold VIP, and a NP Party.... only real question is do I drive, because if gas keeps going down it'll be cheaper to drive the 6hrs than to fly the one...

I'm going to bed now to ponder my options...
