Totoro

My B and our giant Totoro, with another fan who bought her Totoro at the same time. We were screaming and jumping up and down. Only at DragonCon can you forge connections with total strangers over anime characters.

DragonCon Surprise

Look, we ran into Otin at DragonCon! He still didn't take me to the race, though. Boo!

Godzilla

Still AFK until Monday night/Tuesday morning - but look what we won at Godzilla bingo. Our favorite Gojira flick! We love Mothra!

DragonCon

This is where I will be, from tomorrow at noon until Monday night. I might check in, I might not, I will definitely post to Facebook and post pictures/notes when I get back. Like Tuesday. Monday night I will be sleeping in front of my computer trying to catch up on my reading for next Wednesday's class, which I sure won't be doing in Atlanta. Yes, the Cup race is in Atlanta on Sunday night, but I am not driving down there (from Ohio, NOT) so I have no transportation to the track, which is half an hour south of Atlanta, and my daddy told me I am not allowed to hitchike under any circumstances, nor I am allowed out by myself for a night race. I'm still working on a way to get there . . .
(for some reason, I am unable to create a successful link to the DragonCon site, which is www.dragoncon.com - Blogger keeps inserting www.blogger.com in front of www.dragoncon.com when I try to attach the link to the picture.)

Ugly Food Tattoos

Can't decide what tattoo to add to your full body collection? Check these out for some ideas. Or not. (My next tattoo is going to be a red and black 14 on my right ankle. Merry Christmas to myself!). This sample pic is obviously for Michel.

Bobby Labonte

Yes, Otin, I did see that Labonte got ditched and someone involved must be legally insane. I actually screamed out loud when I saw that, and thought I had misread it until it showed up on Facebook, too. What is wrong with people?
Now, I don't have anything againt Erik Darnell, who sure knows how to rock the truck series, but when we talk Bobby Labonte, we talk champion; we talk bringing the Interstate Batteries 18 to the top for Coach Gibbs in 2000; we talk about Tony Stewart's Cup series mentor. Yes, he will be returning for five more races in the 96, but to pull him at all is like cutting off an arm. Sponsorship issues seem to be the reason, and that makes sense to some extent, but even though Darnell brings his sponsors with him, that doesn't mean he will rack up success in the seven races. That's a lot for a new kid in the big show. Yates claims intention to keep Labonte for another team next year; we'll have to see what happens.
I have Bobby Labonte 18 house shoes (like flip flops); a Bobby Labonte 18 keychain; and this lovely fish. Aside from being talented, smart, dedicated, hardworking, successful, and a family man, Labonte is hot hot hot hot. I love the Ask.com commercials where the mom in the NASCAR family is always drooling over him. I am so jealous because the actress got to grab his butt. I'd pay to do that job.
