Robots and Other Things.

Saturday was cramerica's birthday, and ojouchan and I accompanied him to the Frank & Son Collectibles Show way the hell out in the City of Industry. He was looking for transforming robots. And he got them.

I didn't pick up much myself. I looked through a lot of the videogame sellers, but there wasn't anything I could justify picking up for myself. I keep flirting with the idea of getting an NES knockoff, because there are a lot of good games with good deals for that system, but I still have many things that . I did pick up a wireless Gamecube controller to use with my Wii (the wired extension that I had been using doesn't fit in my current setup). I also looked for a spare DS stylus, but I nobody had one that wasn't packaged with some other crap.

I did pick up a blind-box Adult Swim mini-figure. There was a lot of cool stuff, so I felt pretty confident. But I ended up with Moral Orel. Ojou had better luck, picking up a different blind-box and ending up with the sole ultra-rare secret figure. Ojou also got a good line on a Barbie seller, who'll be able to help us out with her birthday in another two months.

I think I got a cold when I came home. My nose has been stuffed up something fierce since yesterday. A lot of it is the heat. I'm having a hard time staying hydrated, and it's hard keeping the bedroom cool enough during the day to get a solid amount of sleep. Hopefully things will clear up soon.

This weekend is another Strategicon, and I will probably go. I haven't decided yet whether I'll spend Saturday there or if I'll go to the local NPL game day.

Work always sucks after vacation, but I just got told I rock.
