Aug. 21st, 2011 06:06 pmYesterday Ben and I went to Baltimore Comic-Con withe Rob and Dani. We had never been to a comic book convention before. It was an adventure!
It was very very crowded. I didn't expect there to be so many people! Luckily it wasn't so crowded that we couldn't do the things we wanted to do. Ben and I went to a panel on marvel comics. Then we bought stuff! Ben got 2 tpb for $5 each. Good deal! And the Rescue one shot for one $1. I found the person that made this picture so I got it in poster form. I'm going to proudly hang it in my house. Ben says I have an unhealthy fascination with propaganda.
After the convention we went out for indian food, which is the perfect sort of place to go when you have a mix of omnivores and vegetarians. Everyone was able to get something tasty. :D
Then we headed home because ben had to work that night. Poo. He left around 11 and didn't come back until 4am. Then he slept really late today.
I was productive this morning and mowed the backyard. I even trimmed the edges. Even though it was early, it was VERY hot because it was so humid. I had sweat dripping down into my eyes. Very gross. Halfway through, I had to go inside and take off my shirt and pants and lay down on the floor until I cooled down enough to move again. I thought I would pass out from overheating.
When I finally finished I took a badly needed shower and then ben and I went out to run errands. First we needed food so we got lunch at a build your own burger place. The original plan was salad but the salad place was closed! Madness!
While we ate, it started to pour so we were happy that we were inside and dry. My burger was tasty. I assume ben's was too because he ate the whole thing.
Then we went to the hardware store so I could get some fungicide. Now that I have a real garden, I am slowly learning about every single type of pest and disease that could possibly hit a crop. First I had the vine borers that killed my zucchini. Now I have some sort of mildew on my cucumbers. I can't tell if it's feathery or downy, so I got a fungicide that kills both. It also kills all aquatic life, so I want to use it sparingly.
After that, we stopped at the pet store and the food store because my husband and dogs keep eating. So now we are restocked on food for them.
Now we are back home. The husband and dogs are all sleeping. It's just me and the bird! How lonely! I guess I should get some chores done around the house. Poo...
