In my never-ending quest to catalog all my *stuff*, I've hopped on the LibraryThing bandwagon. I still have 6-8 boxes that I need to catalog, and much formatting to do eventually - scanning book covers for ones that are missing, updating title and author information to be consistent, and being more thorough with my tagging. It's all kind of fun.
Con on the Cob was last weekend, and I had a lot better time than I expected. CotC is primarily a gaming and art convention, and I'm neither a gamer nor an artist, so aside from browsing the art on display, there weren't a whole lot of events to entertain me. I was (mostly) in charge of the video schedule, and I spent most of the four days in the two-room hotel suite that was serving as the video room, con suite, and Guitar Hero headquarters... and I had a blast! :)
There were a lot more people coming in and out this year, so I had plenty of people to hang out with all weekend, plus enough repeat visitors that I'd made some new friends by the time it was over. Can't wait to see 'em all next year. :) Then there was Guitar Hero, which has to be one of the more addicting things I've encountered in recent years. Any time the console got left alone for too long, I heard it calling my name from the other room and had to scurry in for just "one more" song. Guitar Hero 2 with the guitar controller thing has jumped to the very tip-top of my Christmas wishlist at this point. :)
Unfortunately for my bank account, I've also get AnimeUSA next weekend.
