Well, it seems almost fitting that Preview Night for Comic Con falls on the same day as Batman Day...the 75th Anniversary of the Caped Crusader, Dark Knight...etc. etc. I am excited, because the cover, in my humble opinion, is frame worthy and will find it's way behind glass, once I transport it, safely and soundly, home.
As in the past, I have decided to work a half day, since the last time I took an entire day off, I wasn't really sure what to do with myself, but as I wait for the time to pass, I find myself feeling less and less inclined to work and more and more inclined to take the day off next year (wishful thinking that I will be a badge holder once again next year in 2015. Just putting it out there.). I feel as if twiddling my thumbs is pointless, though I am mildly entertained as coworkers keep sneaking peeks at me, as the word begins to spread around the office that "Shelly has blue hair". Okay, so now you can see it, though my hair is still black underneath and it isn't as blue as the comment above implies. Yes, I washed it and it got lighter and I hope it gets lighter and lighter as I keep washing it, because my bosses reaction was priceless, "whoa". Bill and Ted reaction all the way.
I work for a bank, well sort of. I work as an administrative assistant for a large lending company that is a division of a bank, while I moonlight as a lifelong aspiring writer. My blue hair, or any color for that matter is my way of telling the world I am 'Free to be Me', however I am not so sure that it is acceptable by bank standards, but I suppose I will keep it until someone says something. One girl in the office already suggested that my next color be, Magenta. I kind of like that idea.
To top off the first half of Batman day, one of my coworkers, who just found out I was going to Comic Con, popped by my desk and began chatting with me and just casually mentioned that his brother had won some type of award for some work he had done on 'The Dark Knight'. It took me a moment to process this information, before I about fell out of my chair, but it was still cool information, somewhat of a six degrees of separation from the movie itself. So I shared my bit about accidentally wandering near 'The Dark Knight Rises' set, when they were filming one of the major chase scenes after the Stock Market breach of Bruce Wayne's account. That was uber cool.
Anyway, before my scattered thoughts, become more flighty and scattered to the proverbial comic winds, I shall sign off, get some work done and then move my arse towards San Diego where I shall immerse myself in Comic Culture, pop culture, etc...
TTFN....
