I hope I never win another game of Hearts.

Now would be one of those times when I realize that my vocabulary falls short of fully expressing what I’d like to say.
When thinking about my life right now, in this moment, I’m definitely “happy”. But that term isn’t quite what I’m looking for, because I’m “happy” when I open the fridge in the morning and realize I still have orange juice. Despite the obvious joy of breakfast nectar, this is way more than orangejuicehappy.
And when I consider the near future, I’m certainly “excited”. I’d say I’m “excited” about certain upcoming cultural events, but the anticipation I feel for the more significant aspects of the future is much… deeper than even obligatory speedboat explosions.
I also feel really, really “lucky”. But I don’t know if that’s necessarily the appropriate term either. It’s “lucky” when you’re almost late for the train and it’s also slightly delayed, allowing you to catch it anyway. Although aspects of random chance certainly factor into all events, my life is more than pure happenstance.
I’m also a little bit “nervous”. I don’t want to screw this up somehow. Ok, “nervous” is probably the exact right word.

To me, one of the most amazing things about life is my inability to control it.
Oh sure, daily routines, weekly schedules, and five year plans often fool me into thinking that I have a pretty good handle on the ol’ life business. Easy to sit back and go yup, this is what I expected, what I planned for. It might not necessarily be the ideal situation, but at least it’s the one I anticipated.
But then, sometimes, things happen that I totally didn’t expect. Often amusing, frequently frustrating, other times tragic, occasionally awesome, and very, very rarely – superamazinglybeautiful.
It’s times like these you learn to live again.

(And as I start this post, I can’t help but sing that Carmen Sandiego song to myself – the kinda good one, not the one that totally sucked.)
Anyhow, so ya, San Diego Comic-Con is this week. Man I’d love to go check it out someday. Obviously I can’t go this year, but maybe next?
I’d certainly relish the opportunity to meet many of the geniuses behind most of the webcomics I enjoy. Plus there are always random “celebrities” (usually not in the mainstream, but famous/recognizable for having starred in an awesome sci-fi show or something, and thus heroes of geekdom) who I’d enjoy meeting / getting an autographed picture from. “VICTORY!!!” Haha, subtle reference: props if you got it without clicking through.
And it’d be cool to hang out with tens of thousands of other, like-minded comic fans. Although I imagine most of them are considerably more h-core than me (my knowledge of anything non-webcomic is extremely limited, and don’t even start with the anime…), I think it’d be an excitingly entertaining environment.
Heck, I’d even wear a costume.
Ok, maybe not that one. But definitely this one. Although there’s something to be said for anonymity.

It was at precisely the moment when I began to think that the final chapter of Dr. Horrible was actually starting to suck that it suddenly became much better than I had hoped for…
*Spoiler alert!*
No spoilers!
One word review: Wowza.
Definitely lived up to the hype, and surpassed even my very high expectations. Haha, I’ve already seen it twice tonight, and have plans to see it in theatres at least once more this weekend. And then I’ll probably see it again, in IMAX this time, sometime in the coming week.
It really is that good. (Plus I’m a huge nerd, haha). So ya, I give it an “A” ranking (not quite the rare “A+”, due to my minor issues – see below eventually). But best superhero movie ever, no contest.
