Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't written a real entry in a while. Life's been a bit crazy and with all the DDoS attacks, I've been kind of discouraged. But fear not! I have a post for you :)
Last Sunday (April 3rd)![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
karistan and I attended a session of Talk Cinema in Lincoln Center. The film we saw was an African film called A SCREAMING MAN. Some parts dragged a bit, but all in all, it was a good film. I now know more about the African Film Industry than I ever thought I needed to know. Who knew?
After a yummy lunch at Hummus Place, we went to the American Museum of Natural History and learned about Sea Rex. Saw the dinosaurs and other exhibits and wandered around a bit. Fun times :)
After that, we found ourselves at a small Farmer's Market. Note to self: Must find sunchokes.
We also went to Magnolia's bakery, but since this was not the original location (which is located in the Village), it wasn't so great. Oh well. Can't be awesome all the time.
I love New York City. :-P

MoCCA Fest!
Apr. 11th, 2011 12:59 pmThis weekend was MoCCA Fest!!! I went with Brian and kittasaurusrex. We spent 5 hours on the exhibitor floor amassing a bunch of free comics and cards and stuff while also buying comics and other stuff.
The highlight of the day was finally meeting JEPH JACQUES!!!!!! OMG!!!! For those of you who have no idea who that is, he is the creator of one of my favorite Webcomics Questionable Content. I had previously written an entry about meeting some very awesome people through his live streaming of drawing his comic. So, when I met Jeph, after having a moment of squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, I told him that, "if not for [his] streams, I would have never met this great lady next to me or all the other people I converse with on a daily basis." To which he said "That's awesome!" I also got to shake his hand.
I had him sign my Questionable Content volume 1 book. He drew Pintsize :-P Brian bought a QC Mug and a print (but not the one he did for MoCCA, that one Kitt bought).
Afterwards, we went to an Indian Restaurant on the opposite corner. The food was delicious, but we'll likely never go back there again for reasons I pointed out on Twitter.
Brian and I missed the train we wanted to catch by about 3 mins. Thankfully, we only had to wait an hour for the next one (had we taken the PJ line, we'd have had to wait 2 hours for the next one).

On March 31st, I had posted about my friend's daughter Lexi. I found out this morning that Lexi passed away at 6:45pm on Friday. She was only 4 years old. I'm having very conflicting feelings about this because no parent should ever have to bury their child *especially* not one that young, but she was in a considerable amount of pain and now she is no longer in pain.
