| 10:46a | Victor's Last Day Last Friday was Victor's last day at Vertex, he is leaving us to go to Med School at St. George in the Caribbean. Since Javi and I took Friday off to go to Comic Con we celebrated on Thursday by taking Victor out to lunch and then having some cake. Its weird not seeing Victor everyday at work and not hearing his crazy dodge SRT-10 truck with a viper engine pulling into the lot but at least we still get to see him outside of work. Saturday night Destiny threw him a surprise party at Zocalo grill in Old Town. I'm really going to miss him when he actually leaves the country.

| 10:51a | Comic Con 2007 Last weekend was Comic Con. Thanks to Javi's friend we got free professional badges again, this time a full 4-day pass. Thursday night after work we went to go see the new Superman Doomsday movie. The line was super super long and we thought we weren't going to get in to the 8:30 show but we ended up getting in and watching the movie and seeing the panel, it was pretty neat. Friday morning the traffic near the convention center was freaking insane. Javi had an appt to donate blood so he got out and walked the rest of the way then I drove around for 55 minutes trying to find parking! Finally I parked at some smog check place where some shady guy was charging $15 and took the petty cab to the Convention Center. But I was bummed that we missed seeing Stan Lee, he was my favorite last year. We got to see the Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis panels which were pretty neat. Didn't really get to see a lot of the booths this year but of course we stopped by the LEGO booth and entered the drawing to win the new Millenium Falcon and Gold C3PO. We also saw the actor who played Darth Vadar, but my favorite was the PINK R2. We met up with Matt, Sarah, Raul, Alan and Audrey and walked around with them a little bit too. In the evening we went to go see Kevin Smith, he was so freaking hilarious! We also saw the whole pilot for the new show he is directing called Reapers, it was pretty funny. We wanted to stay until 10PM to watch the Spike and Mike's Gauntlet but we were pretty tired after Kevin Smith so we went home and played Guitar Hero instead. It would have been cool to go back on Saturday and see the other stuff but we were so busy the rest of the weekend we didn't get a chance, oh well there's always next year!
