To infinity and beyond…
Personally, I love Sci-Fi. If you could see my DVD collection, there would be no doubt. Stargate, Firefly, Star Wars, Star Trek, Battle Star Galactica (either version, ) etc.
What does this have to do with Adoption? This week, it’s about escaping reality for a few days. Today is the start of a local Sci-Fi convention based around the Doctor Who series, a British Sci-Fi show, which has been one of the longest running shows. We have guests from all over the world and tons of fans, shows, stuff to buy, people dressing up in weird costumes, drunk british writers, silly issues, more jokes and sarcasm than one person can normally handle, and Mt Dew.
See, I work at this convention, in th sense that I am in charge of a group of people who make the day to day operations go accordingly, for free. It’s a chance to get out of my daily life, and lose myself in a world of fantasy (as in the Firefly “sarcasm, quick quips, oh you silly person you” type fantasy, not the Captain Kirk “hi, are you female?” type fantasy.) By tonight, I will have drank two six-packs of Mt. Dew and eaten probably one meal. By midnight on Sunday night, I will have probably had about two cases of Mt Dew, four meals, and 6 hours sleep total. By Monday, I will be back to reality, but at least I have the day off.
I love Sci-Fi.

I knew there was a reason I like you so much. LOL
But you missed one - Babylon5!!!! I can watch reruns of B5 for literally days on end. We finally got around to begin buying the seasons on DVD. I’m eagerly waiting for hubby to have a weekend off so we can do a non-stop B5 marathon.
Have fun this weekend, Wraith. Go enjoy the fantasy for a while. You deserve it. -hugs-

Sounds like a great thing for you about now! My hubby worked for years on Star Trek productions. They do screening sometimes at the studio and we sometimes take my grandchildren. Once we took the grandsons when Star Trek was still filming there. They got to see a couple of the characters in costume standing outside a production stage - pretty fun. Have a fun time, Wraith!
