Halloween weekend

So, not much has been happening in mine and Emily's lives. Emily started taking classes online for a two-year marketing program back at the beginning of October and is doing very well. I have been working as close to full-time as my job will allow. The highlight of this past weekend was taking Chelsea and her friend up to Saboten-con, an anime convention that was held in Mesa, on Halloween. For the couple of hours I was up there with them I got to wander around and gawk at all the other nerds in their geek-gear(believe it or not, I was not wearing a costume). They were unfortunately sold out of Saturday-only and Full-event passes when we got there, so I was only able to wander around out in the main plaza area and didn't get to meet the couple of voice-actors that were at the con, but Chelsea and her friend manged to volunteer and get themselves passes for the rest of Saturday evening.

Yesterday, Emily and I both had the day off(work has been slow, and Emily usually has monday night off) so we had a movie marathon day. We went and watched Whip It and 500 Days of Summer at her theatre. Both were good movies. Whip It was a fun and funny film about a high school girl who secretly joins a roller-derby league as a form of rebellion against her beauty-pageant obsessed mother. It was directed by Drew Barrymore, who also plays a minor role in the film. It was really fun. 500 Days of Summer was a little more dramatic and more of a heart-wrencher than I thought it would be. It starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt(10 Things I Hate About You) and Zooey Deschanel(Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Elf, and more recently Yes Man). Though full of hilarious moments, which were expected of those two performers, there is a deeply emotional undertone to it and the ending is not exactly what you expect. Anyway, that's it from my neck of the woods for now.
