Good afternoon loyal readers (yes, you three). On Mondays, I would like to institute the "Weekend Recap" blog post. It's a way to reflect on the past two days, see what we did, and start the week off on a happy note. So without further delay, here is how I spent my weekend.
Saturday, January 22nd:
The main highlight of my weekend was hanging out with my fiancee, our friends, and the meet-up group that one of our friend's run. We all met at the Bridgewater Ice Rink in Bridgewater, NJ to partake in some fun afternoon ice skating. With only two falls, I would call it a success. We had a lot of fun, met some new people, and then went out to eat (always my favorite part) at the Bridgewater Diner. After I came home, I went over my friend's house to finish watching season 1 of Archer (a very funny cartoon on FX about a bumbling spy agency).
Overall score: 5/5
Sunday, January 23rd:
Ok, I know I said the highlight of my weekend was seeing my fiancee, which it totally was, but there was another high point for me. It was the monthly Comic Convention held in the Ramada Inn in East Hanover, NJ. ::Cough::Plug::Cough:: (http://www.njcomicbookshows.com/). It was a lot of fun, hung out with a friend, and bought a ton of comics. I would also like to take this time to apologize to my soon-to-be-wife for the lack of money we will have in the coming months for indoor plumbing. *awkward pause*But yeah, aside from just going to the comic convention and then going to Baha Fresh for lunch, I believe I started on the path of networking. See, I like to help out and volunteer whenever I can, so I emailed the coordinator for these comic conventions and asked him if I could help out. He told me that he didn't need any help this time, but he would contact me hopefully in February or March (they do 2 conventions a month). On top of that, he introduced me to a few dealers at the show, but the fact that I may be able to help orchestrate and play a part in organizing these events is something I would really enjoy to do. Only time will tell.
In the evening, I watched Slapshots, which is a comedy from the 80s. I thought it was pretty funny and ever since my dad just got Netflix, we've been watching a LOT of movies.
Overall Score: Awesome!!!!
So that was my weekend. Hung out. Bought stuff. Watched stuff. Ate stuff. It was good, but it went by too fast. Yet, I felt great waking up to a freezing cold Monday morning (seriously, 3 degrees?!). I'm looking forward to the week and maybe even a snow day on Wednesday, teehee.
So how about you? How was your weekend? Please share. I'll be your best friend if you do!
