I have a gazillion pictures and some really great stories from this past weekend in Hawaii but it’s taking me a little time to get them all up/written. So to hold you over in the meantime (and you’ve probably seen this already but whatever, Clif kept us up til 1am working on it and both Jay & I happen to think that this is pretty bad ass), here’s the trailer for all the coverage that was done by Team nuDia from the weekend.
So this is basically going around everywhere and if you haven’t seen it yet, then you need to watch it all the way til the end and I’m glad that I spread some good on the Internet just in time for the holidays:
Today is has been a craptastic Monday. I mean, like awful night’s sleep, go into work early to desperately try to catch up on work that will never be caught up on, worry about things that are inevitable to go wrong that you can’t figure out a way to stop, and worse. Emo emo emo.
Anyway, that melodramatic preface aside, this is one thing that brought a smile to our faces. It’s so cute you can’t help watch til the end and laugh.
Okay so I sorta took what I had and combined it with what Media Junkyard did for their vidcast and voila, a brand new idea was born that directly lead to me getting 4 hours of sleep and having 45 minutes to finish up YuBlog.org stuff for today and pack for my straight-from-work trip back to Long Island this weekend. All this traveling is seriously starting to wear me down; I wish we could just pull a Potter and Apparate/Disapparate whenever and wherever we pleased. But anyways, here’s what the end of a long week of fun/being awake since 2am did to all of us who let’s face it would probably have done it regardless of when we’d woken up or our previous days’ adventures.
In other news, TGIF. Peace.
Oh and P.S. since Jay just pointed it out again, yeah, this is a blatant rip off of what Rob & Chris did but since they’re mostly my pictures with 2 or 3 from Adam, I’m going to split the difference and called it “loosely inspired”.
Oh double P.S. I’m looking for new submissions to YuBlog.org so if you have anything you’d like to contribute in any topic at all, please email YuBlog.org@gmail.com or get in touch with me. Gracias!
I had this whole thing planned where I was going to post up pictures in the correct order from each day of San Diego Comic Con 2009 (4 of us even filmed a teaser for it in the airport leaving San Diego haha) but in honor of Jay and my’s 2-year anniversary celebration, I’m gratuitously sharing a picture taken by the fabulous Cesar of us from Comic Con and then generously giving you the gift of laughter at Clif’s expense. Enjoy. Happy 7/29!
This is real. We filmed it and he had no idea until we showed him later Sunday night.
So yesterday was Day 1 of San Diego Comic Con 2009 aka Preview Night. Woot. After Jay & I picked up our rental car (an oh-so-hot PT Cruiser), we made a much anticipated stop at In N Out Burger in Mission Valley. There, we (me, Jay, Jana & Clif) met up with Ryan & Jen Ozawa from the Transmission podcast and Alirio “I Have Free Health Care in Canada” of PauseCast.
We got our badges at about 2pm and then sat around the Convention Center outside Ballroom 20 for 4 hours until the doors opened for the Exhibit Hall at 6pm. I wanted to get a Benjamin Linus Bobble Head doll but by the time I got over there after my stop at the Diamond Toys booth to pick up Stay Puft Marshmellow Man limited edition banks for Jay, Derek, and Kim, the line was too long and I wanted to go up and see the previews for V (looks awesome) and The Vampire Diaries (craptastic-minus-the-tastic-until-Boone-gets-on-45-mins-into-it). Afterwards, we hit up some local bar for food/drinks with friends like Chris in Boston & friends, Adam of the Randy Rando Randonopolis podcast, Desiree in Pensicola, Alirio and Michael the Friendly Communist. Good times, good times.

It’s 12:03am right now and we just got to our hotel. After a few slight mishaps (the man in pajamas who checked us in at our motel charged my credit card on our first night without asking me first and it wasn’t the card I wanted it to go on, which sucks for me but whatev, I’ll deal with it when I get home), we finally got situated. We did a crapload of stuff today, but I’ll explain all of that tomorrow. For now, here’s the really terrible video I pieced together of a bunch of stuff I recorded with my camera while we were traveling to San Diego Comic Con last night. Definitely more pictures and a video of all of us at In N Out tomorrow morning!
P.S. I look really tired in this video and that’s because, well, I was exhausted. Hence why I’m sleeping now instead of posting more blog stuff; because I haven’t caught up on my sleep from before this video was done/we left Raleigh. And away we go:
Sorry for the lack of the No Doubt video/playlist. I promise that I will get it all out there. For now, here’s what’s going down. Since No Doubt, we’ve had Jay’s sister’s high school graduation, Sara’s bachelorette party, Jay’s family reunion in Ohio, 4th of July in New York, and then I went up to NY again last weekend. It’s been somewhat busy/crazy. I also promise to do a HUGE set of updates once things come down. Now I’m busy scrapbooking the last year for my & Jay’s 2nd anniversary on July 29.
Oh yeah and WE’RE GOING TO COMIC CON IN 5 DAYS!!! I. Am. So. Excited.
Jay, Jack & I filmed this amateur’s guide to Comic Con for www.nuDia.tv. Check it out if you haven’t already. I have to give props to Ralph & Ben, formerly of the Dharmalars podcast aka the godfathers of the Comic Con Survival Guide. I’m going to be blogging updates from this blog (more personal pictures from Comic Con) and YuBlog.org (Nudia.tv’s community blog, which anyone can submit blogs to be published - this will have the more “professional” pictures, I guess), and of course, Nudia.tv will be updating content on the site at least once a day. So if you’re a Comic Con enthusist and want to know what’s going on, then bookmark all 3 sites and check back daily. I can’t promise that this blog will be updated every single day, but YuBlog.org & Nudia.tvwill be updated daily. Jay & Jack will also be doing some live stuff from ustream.tv at some time during Comic Con too.
Okay, enough yakking out of me. I seriously have to go eat olives & scrapbook right now. This is not a joke. They are olives stuffed with garlic and jalapenos so GFY if you think eating olives is lame. Thus said, here’s Comic Con Guide:
