Post: Comic Con!

Went to San Diego Comic Con on Saturday and Sunday for the 3rd year in a row now. Last year was my first time sitting in on a panel, which was for JG’s show. This year I actually went to a panel for a show that I had no affiliation with (aside from being a fan), Doctor Who! I’m currently on the third season of Doctor Who, I think they might be finishing their fourth season now.

Here is a short picture recap of my SDCC 2009 experience. I actually saw a lot less this year than last year, even though I spent the night in San Diego this time.

Love : Baggage Claim

Looking for love is like being at baggage claim.

You stand there, watching them go by and every once in awhile you think “Oh, that could be mine.” You get a closer look, you might even take it off the carousel. Eventually, if it isn’t yours, you’ll have to let it go. You have to put it back on the carousel or hand it over to the person whom it belongs to, and go back to watching them all go by, until, finally, you see your luggage. And then you can take it from the carousel, walk out of the airport, and continue your journey.

No Objections

While watching Objectified on Thursday night my mind started moving like gears of a clock. I took away lots of great ideas and revelations about design. I kept thinking “Okay, remember THIS for after the movie.” and “Make sure to put THAT into Evernote.”

I think it’s funny how I have to actively tell myself to make mental notes on things, I spent a lot of my childhood not being inquisitive because I would just accept things the way they are instead of asking millions of questions like other kids. This is probably why I failed so hard at making notes in margins of passages in scholastic tests and in core reading books. I was always like “Who cares? Move on with the story. All will be explained later… probably.” (Maybe it was an exercise in patience. No, that’s can’t be it, as an adult I have no patience whatsoever.)

Initially, I was asking questions like “What about design they going to cover in this film?” and “How are they going to cover everything about product design?” The latter question then spurred the thought that there should probably be a film made about every single object that’s ever been made! (If not “should” then at least probably “could”.)
