SDCC, a movie I want to see, and the first two of 50 in '14

Yes! Wonderful Husband and I each waited on our computers in the SDCC prereg wait room for an hour and a quarter this morning until his purchase session opened and he was able to snag Saturday/Sunday registrations for us. Comic-Con, here we come! And this year, unlike last, I won't have pregnancy problems interfering with my attendance. (And, yes, we will be bringing Squiddle with us. But until he turns 12, he doesn't need to pre-reg.)

I sigh and remember the days when we used to just drive down and buy tickets at the door. Of course, I also remember when family/friends could accompany a traveller to the gate at the airport. These will be the "I went to school barefoot in the snow, uphill, both ways!" stories that I tell my kids and they never believe.

Granted, an advantage to buying the tickets ahead of time was that I could nurse Squiddle while doing so, which would be a bit harder while standing in a physical queue.

Meanwhile, under "things that have me excited," the trailer for Ernest and Celestine looks really, really good and has several moments that Wonderful Husband and I dubbed "Ghibli-esque":

And I've finally squeezed out some time to start reading books again!
