NOLA Notes

Month: July, 2009

Comic-Con ’09, The Good, The Bad (Ass), and The Ugly (Doll)

Here’s the post about my loot.  Pix soon on flickr, I promise.  That requires cooperation from my sister, my husband and my computer.  Maybe not so soon, but I’ll let you know when they are up. This year, I had two favorite booths, and they both can be said to have a Tim Burton feel [...]

Suite & Tender

Comic Con is in full swing in San Diego and we are in the middle of it!  This year seems more crowded, with my favorite Exhibitor not here I left my laptop at home and am on CS’s, so pics are forthcoming. Tonight, though, was decadent. We went to a mod restaurant .  One that’s [...]

It was really great to meet other NOLA bloggers I hadn’t yet met [...]

How Much is Enough?

We had company over recently. As I was heading out the back of the house with one of our guests, the guest turned to go through Sun’s room to get to the back door. Sun was napping, and so I whispered to my guest not to go that way but for us to use the [...]
