Come visit!

At the con, we’re getting crazy people in costume, nifty free swag, movie premiers and TV show pilots, panels featuring actors from our favorite shows (i.e. Jensen, Jared, Nathan…yummy…)

Even better, Professor Moriarty is going to be around and he’ll take us out on the town. He’s trotting us out for coffee (tea for me, I’m half-English, you know) and dessert (yummy…) at a place that calls itself extraordinary. Professor Moriarty claims it’s not false advertising. We shall see, won’t we?

The Mad Madam M and I are heading down to San Diego for Comic-Con. It’s going to be omg levels of awesomenisity. Really. San Diego better lock its doors at night or something. Maybe M and I need a police escort to be allowed down there.

On the agenda:

1) Stalk Nathan Fillion.

2) Rampage on yummy restaurants.

3) Stalk Jensen Ackles.

4) Sneak into the backstage-pass-only areas.

5) Stalk Jared Padelecki.

6) Possibly start a squeeing fangirl riot when we spot one or more of these three guys.

I know…you’re all jealous. As you should be!

Even better than that? She’s helping me put some of the finishing touches on my apartment remodel. It might be done some time this century. Who knew?

Even better than that? We’re taking a road trip down to a fun little convention in San Diego this week. If you don’t know which crazy famous con I’m talking about…well, you just might not be nerdy enough for this blog. Otherwise, you can come back tomorrow for more details. Hee!

M and I are in a deeply committed relationship. With other people.

I know! I can hear your collective gasps of horror and the deluge of questions. What does this mean? How can Crys and M be no longer single? What will happen to their heterosexual life partnership? Isn’t this the second sign of the apocalypse? Should I be worried about zombies taking over? Where’s my tinfoil hat??

It’s crazy, really, but M and I thought we should come clean, and drag the mancakes out for a showing. Okay, not a showing. No pictures. We have to protect their innocence. Or…something.

Anyway, without further ado, but with much bartering on appropriate codenames, I give you Geek Squad and Professor Moriarty! Geek Squad managed to snag the Mad Madam M earlier this year with his mad gadget skillz and stuff. Between the two of them, they have at least five computers in their house. Also, I’ve heard their entertainment center could give a Best Buy store a run for its money. I want to play the Wii when I go see them for Thanksgiving.

Then we have a more recent addition with Professor Moriarty. He’s got a love for the Sherlock Holmes novels and he’s a bit of an evil genius, mad scientist type. I totally adore that he picked a villain codename for himself. He keeps me on my toes, that’s for sure. Also, he makes me laugh and he thinks I’m pretty. *happy sigh* Okay, I’ll stop with the tween crush gushing.

So, those are the guys. Welcome to the insane asylum that is my blog.

Also…don’t worry about the heterosexual life partnership. M will be here tomorrow to see me. Even with the Geek Squad at her house, I still get visitation rights. Stay tuned for more details on that…

Not sure what animal this is or if it’s just a photoshopped image, but it sure is cute…

I would love to come across this grouping of animals while riding my bike to work. Sure I know I’d have to be on some major allergy meds, but it was sure make my morning!

I have no words. Simply too cute for words.

I say let the bunny have a cookie! He’s just so cute…

That’s all I have for now. Tune in next time for dogs and puppies in costumes!

So, two months ago I picked out Sorcha for M’s parents. Here’s her before shot hanging out on a park bench with M’s dad.

And here’s the after. Isn’t she cute? She’s a little pound dog, but she cleans up nice.

I’ve mentioned M’s puppy, Riley, before who I prodded M into going to look at about six or so months ago. Here’s her on her first day. Sorta beat up and scrawny, but still cute.

Another early shot of her.

More recent pic with her filling out a bit. She has tortured that poor platypus toy to death, and M’s had to sew on replacement parts. First, Riley ripped its head open, so M gave it a toupe, and yesterday M had to replace the bill.

Riley in her “I Love Archivists” shirt. Guess what M does for a living? You guessed it. Archivist.

Man, I love the Olympics.

P.S. M is also sad to see it go because it’ll be another two years until the Summer Games before she can see me excited about any sport at all, and can make fun of my excitement.
