Today was Comic Con for NYC, which was much better than last year, and MUCH better laid-out and organized. Plus, extra joy, I managed to find all of the copies of the animated X-Men series from the 90's that I remember from growing up, and first interested me in the comic world at all. That was even before Batman: The Animated Series, I think! Considering that there's nowhere else to get this series since it's not "officially" on DVD, this totally rocks! Plus, last year it was selling for $75, whereas this year I got 2 copies for $30 each, and another copy for $25, negotiated from $40 :). I love increased bargaining power.

I also saw Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, which was surprisingly great to watch, and really was an insight into human nature, and why we do the things we do. Most of all, it's the theory that honesty and family are an integral part of being worthy of who we are, and worthy of our families. Plus, it had Phylicia Rashad and James Earl Jones in it, both of whom were excellent, but the actress who played Maggie the Cat was AMAZING, and even the understudy for Brick was also amazing. It reminds me how long it's been since I've seen a play that wasn't a musical, and how much more emotional strict plays can be.

Overall, a busier weekend than in a long time, which is why I was an hour late getting to Comic Con, but now I get to sleep tomorrow and ready myself for another week of work and a split weekend (off Saturday and Monday, working Sunday). It's almost 6 o'clock and all is well :).
