Made my first ever attempt to register for San Diego Comic Con yesterday. It had been something I'd thought about doing at some vague point in the future, but I didn't even have a clue how you did it. Until my sister, who gets in as media, invited me to come with her next summer and pointed me at the website to set up my account for attempts at getting in. So yesterday I watched the tail end of the Rostelecom Cup on my iPad while sitting in the online waiting room and waiting until I either got the chance to buy or everything sold out. The two events concluded around the same time, both with mild disappointment. (I wanted Ziegler & Keifer to medal. I really did.) I didn't really expect to get in; I'd read about the likely odds. At least now I have a plan for the future, that being going back there each year until such time as I finally get lucky.
That is, if my current life goes on that long. I now hear the impeachment may happen at the end of the year and the trial might be over by March. If that's true I don't blame Pelosi for having been reluctant. Nine months of Trump gloating and the Republicans spinning the acquittal while the outrage fades? This could actually increase the possibility of his getting reelected. Not to mention it'll be unbearable. I was planning to try to enjoy this coming year as much as possible before things possibly *really* go to hell after it, but there is now escaping the growing dread.
