Disconnected
Every year I make my annual trek down to San Diego for Comic-Con International. I bring with me loads of computer stuff (the hotel room always looks like a mini-Norad) and we cover the whole shebang for CBR. I had an absolutely fabulous time this year. One of my best ever.
One of the problems with working this convention is that I find myself totally disconnected during the show. I don’t check out my daily stops for news. I don’t read the paper. I don’t get to listen to KCRW to get the news. Nothing. I generally try to stay very on top of current world news, but not when I’m working a convention. As a result, I feel very disconnected from the world for a week or so following the convention as I catch-up. For instance, I’m not sure what exactly happened with that tragedy at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market. Liberia freaked out when I was gone. Not sure what’s going on in Iraq or if the North Korean government continues to act like shit bags (I’m going to guess an affirmative to that one). But, to show you where my priorities are, I DID manage to stop by ESPN’s NBA page each day briefly to see how badly the Clippers were screwing things up. They didn’t do too badly it turns out.
I’m back. I took a TKD class tonight and that felt good. It’s time to get back to it.
So, what’s going on in the world?
