A Con, a cold, and a Jury Summons

[More of The Iron Wizard]


Hi guys, Roffie here. A lot has happened in the past few weeks, and now since I've finally decided to get my focus together, I thought I'd write down the highlights of the recent adventures.

Starters: Further Confusion. I was a lot of fun. I got to hang out with all kinds of fun and interesting people, but since I usually velcro myself to *Agent-Elrond when I'm out in social situations, a lot of the stuff she documented in her live journal also happened to me.

Not to say that I spent the entire con as her shadow. I did wander off to the gaming room a couple times, where they were playing Rock Band and Super Smash Brothers Brawl, two games that frustrated me to no end, and helped me realize that if you want to meet interesting people at convention, don't do it through videogames. They just seem to attract dull-witted boring people who also seem vaguely inebriated. The times better spent at the convention were around the unlocked pianos scattered around the hotel, which was awesome! Thing you should probably know about me is that I can never resist a piano, and I will play it for some time if I see it's available.

I also got to get a sketch commission from a very skilled artist, who actually has an account here, should you wish to buy a commission from her: :iconamericajonze: I got to do a couple art trades too, which brings me to a more dissonant note about the con. I can't seem to find one of the artists who I did my trade with. She left a signature on the drawing she did for me, but since I'm rotten at reading cursive, I can't decipher it for the life of me! So if you're that artist who did a very lovely drawing of this second character from the left in an evening gown in return for a sketch of your fedora-wearing tiger-lady, please note me! I love to get in touch with you.

Anyway, after the con, I got a cold. Typical. Wander around in a crowd long enough and you're bound to catch one from somebody. Thankfully it didn't last that long, but I'm still recovering. *HRRRRRROOAAAAAKK-putooey* Sadly, Rondie's caught it herself, and is feeling about as crappy as I was.

Finally, my first jury summons. It was a rather interesting experience. I got to sit in a waiting room for a while with about 50 or so people, then I got to sit in one of the court rooms the next floor up around the opposite side of the building, and then get dismissed on hardship for not having a car or diver's license with which to get to the courthouse (my mom was nice enough to drive me there on her way to work about 200 miles away, and my dad drove me back home).

Now knowing a little more about the justice system than I did before, it makes me wonder: Of about 100 people, 12~17 people are filtered out by the Judge, Prosecution and Defense for impanelment. Between the three that must leave some pretty weak-minded people, perfect for any of the three to sway to their side of the case, and thus, ironically, less-than-ideal jurors.

Well that's all for now. And now, I gotta tend to virus-infected!Rondie.

Hey, I was just wondering, how did you and Rondie recorded your FE8 LP? I've been wanting to do one of my own, but recording with Quicktime on my Mac isn't cutting it anymore :D

We used Snapz Pro X. It's expensive (retail version costs $60), but it served well then and continues to now.
