San Diego Comic Con - The booty

Women get excited over a pair of christian louboutin shoes while men look forward to the car show. But nerd boys and girls save up their money for comic con. It different now - because hardly anyone has a rare toy, if booth 2480 has it, more than likely both 2510 has it too. And with the internet, most stuff is obtainable online. So its all about the comic con "exclusive" and rare items you can't get elsewhere. What I got:

SDCC 2010

Eric, publisher and boss of giant robot hands me their newest toy, boss robot.
I get the mystery ash gray colored robot with no occupation. Cool! I hope
he gave it to me, I just walked off with it!

SDCC 2010

This is the kubrick tron comic con edition of their bear. I guess I should have
left it in the packaging if I wanna resell it but actually, I always tke em
out to play with!

SDCC 2010

Peanuts might be my favorite booth and I pick up their comic con
limited edition viewmaster! Limited 2 per person!

SDCC 2010
Cartoonist, Brian Ralph and I collide at the GR booth. I think he's trading shirts
with other artists and he's having a hard time with hist last tee. This one is an xxl! I'll take it!

SDCC 2010

Its me and the dude! Jeff Bridges and I look like 2 homeless men who just
finished off a bottle of thunderbird behind the building.

Monday girl - sdcc version!

There are 3 things I love about the san diego comic con, the booths, the celebrities and the costumes! There were less venture brother people this year but trended more towards messed up costumes this year. And by messed up, I mean there are people that dress up every year in the same costume, maybe its a stormtrooper or poison ivy. You see them you recognize them. But I guess they got tired of it so this year, they started to add more blood and njuries to themselves. Eh, whatever. But here's my favorites.

SDCC 2010

Wow, jasmine, ariel, tinkbell and snow white.
But who's the girl on the far left. Sleeping Beauty?

SDCC 2010
This is my favorite, the Teen titans and not the original. Thats starfire,
changeling, robin, raven and a grumpy aqualad - give em some water!

SDCC 2010
Mary Marvel and Batgirl. People in costumes are getting smarter,
they're traveling in packs or duo's now.

SDCC 2010
Female green lantern. I only give her half points because she was working at the
dc booth so I don't think she home made her costume.

SDCC 2010
The black cat with a corset? Guess she was a little chubby or something.

Red beans over rice

Photobucket

Oooh, red beans and rice are quickly becoming my favorite dish to make, cheap and delicious and with the aroma lounging throughout the kitchen, you'd think there was a peruvian mom living in chinatown. One of the advantages of stew type recipes is that the process is simple and give you the ability to add or subtract ingredients without changing the structure of the dish all that much. I added more celery and decreased the amount of chili powder because I'm a sissy like that. Fill your slow cooker with this.

2 cups red bean (1 bag) is soaked in water for 6 to 8 hours before cooking.

2 cups chopped celery (5 stalks)
1 green pepper (chopped)
1 yellow onion (chopped)

1 sausage of your choice cut in diagonals
5 pork neck bones (its suppose to be smoked pork chops or a ham)

5 sprigs thyme
5 sprigs oregano
3 bay leaves
2 tbs tabassco
2 tbs chili powder.

Slow cook 8 hours.

You can use andoille sausage and increase the chili powder if you want more of a kick. I also prefer pork neck bones because its cheaper and I like the way the meat falls off the bone into the stew. Some recipes have you add rice into the dish but I prefer to pour it over newly cooked or even leftover rice. Also, there's a lot of liquid, more so than what my pic shows.

Monday girl - who?

Risa Shimamoto

This is risa shimamoto. I can't even say she's your typical j-idol cuz there ain't much on her, maybe a few books and some cheap videos someone took with their camera phone. So no movies or even b movies. Just a footnote in the world we call the internet.

Sticky and dangerous

AZ Bill

Being a democrat means expecting the government to pay for all our shit. Just kidding but I am pretty happy that I got something in the mail today. It was addressed to just "bill". Weird I thought so I ripped the envelope apart and this NO SB1070 sticker came out. Cool! And it was free! But than I started wondering what conservatives get. Do they get guns? Do they get free guns, the ones that gang members turn in for a box of juice? Because what happens to those guys? Some of my friends are republicans. I'll have to ask them. I hope its not guns. Because my sticker would be kinda lame next to their gun.

Hard Rock

Goonies

By hook, crook, twitter, hotwire, blackjack points or magic, my cousin usually gets us a good price on a hotel when we go to las vegas, this time to celebrate his 40th birthday. Which is how we ended up at the hard rock hotel - a great place to people watch if you like well toned frat boys from jersey shore and girls with oversized sunglasses and undersized bikini. So all the guests and friends of is trying to look good and bronzed, get compliments and maybe show up on mtv's rehab. There's even an affliction store inside in case you forget your $56.00 extra medium shirt in the wash. We look out of place like nicholas cage in a good movie. But we're good we're good because I'm walking around with my all you can eat body with a tee that seems to be getting some attention and a few "oooh, I like that!" from the women. Yo sucker, peeps my black goonies tee I got from target for $9.99. That's right, truffle shuffle > randy couture's ground and pound. How you like me now? Actually we still lost money and the girls didn't pay us a second thought but thats ok, we still won at the buffet.

Monday girl - model check, actress check, author check

Aki Hoshino

This is aki hoshino. Aside from being a "bikini model" in japan and appearing in a bunch of tv serials, she just finished writing a book called "hoshino body" which she gives advice on applying makeup and how to "retain one's body shape". Hmmm, I haven't read the book but I'm thinking maybe just "exercise" would be an excellent way to "retain one's body shape". Shit, I should be an author.
