Comics, Tarps, & TVs

Forgot to post about my day at the ComicCon last Saturday. Amy and I went to help out Tillman at his booth. Amy dressed herself up in a long black gown (that was her bridesmaid dress at a friend's wedding; cool) with fancy accessories and a neon red wig with horns. Walking to the Civic Center, an couple asked if we were going to Oktoberfest (no; different debauch). The Con was on the exhibition level, accessed from Hiwassee St., and was full of nerds and geeks, some costumed and some not, game players, etc. There was a PoC (Jeremy Whitley) up from Raleigh who had some interesting non-white-person art and also was showing his Eisner-nominated book. I bought "Shakespeare Shaken," a graphic anthology of comic stories and he signed it for me (it'll be an xmas gift). I finally left about 4pm but Amy stayed till the end. After the con I went home and put my concrete-ly unhappy knees up for a rest and then went off to play cards at Hazel and John's.

On Tuesday took the rig out for its monthly dump & flush. Then drove to Mills River to get the rig washed at Professional Auto Detailing. They did a good job and it now looks white and gleaming again. Parking under a cherry tree means lots of nastiness. I had a tarp to put over it on Wednesday for the winter so now it looks like a  badly wrapped package.  I had bought a 10x16 tarp but decided it was too small, exchanged it for a 12x26, which is on it now and is way too big. Sooo, I'll take it off and go back to the smaller size. I should stop overthinking.

The new TV mount is up (thanks, Tillman) and it's working great. TV doesn't drag on my bed anymore and also doesn't bang on the window. I'm happy.

Have a job interview this coming Monday as a proofreader of labels at a homeopathic "medicine" manufacturer. Fulltime at decent pay so I may take it (if offered). They offer vacations, holidays, and a dental plan. Don't offer medical insurance because employees can take products for free and the chiropractor owner will do "adjustments" for employees. I just hope they don't ask me my opinion of the efficacy of this stuff.
