Comic-Con Planning

July 16, 2009 @ 8:39 pm | Filed under: Comic Books

Hannah makes a good point. San Diego Comic-Con is just a week away, and I’ve been poring over the schedule. The LOST panel, oh I’m there. And there’s a Dollhouse thing I plan to attend, baby permitting. The “Female Power Icons in Pop Culture” panel with Sigourney Weaver and Elizabeth Mitchell (that’s Juliet to you LOST fans) sounds interesting, but it’s early on, before my parents arrive to take over the child-wrangling.

Here are the schedules. Anything here strike your fancy, O Bonny Glen friends? Any events you’d especially like to hear more about? Any particular comic-book-or-pop-culture-related topics you’d like to discuss? You know how I suffer from option paralysis…

    The Doctor Who panel on Sunday. I have serious envy!

  2. Faith says:

    Hey Lissa! My whole family loves Phineas and Ferb! Can you make it to that one?

  3. Beth says:

    LOST, of course. My son Eli (20) says Dollhouse for sure. (Apropos of naught, I dreamt of Nathan Fillion last night {!} *shakes head*). Something with Joss Whedon where you’d be able to talk to him? Anything?? (I can’t take time to peruse the schedule just now).

    Honestly, I just want you to go and have a good time and then do one of your fabulous write-ups and Eli and I will read and enjoy and be (not so quietly) envious.

    (PS: new email; lost the gravatar. Ah, well).

    I swear to you that it only just hit me this morning that you & Scott were very likely to be at Comic-Con!!! And I trip over to your site, and…OMG. Because I’m such the Stephanie Myers freak, I have only just read that Robert Pattinson is an almost-definite, and Kristin Stewart is likely. Along with many others in the cast of Twilight, as well. OMG. If you get within striking distance and can get HIS autograph…oh, just WOW. :) I’m SO envious!!! Btw — how ARE you?? :)

    OMG HOW on EARTH are you going to choose?! Anything?! it took me 10 mins of ‘ooing’ and ‘ahhing’ to get through half of Thursday before I gave up, satiated!
    And STAN LEE is going to be there?! :::faints:::

  6. Hannah says:

    Why thank you, I’m flattered! I’m afraid I can’t help you choose, though, as I’m sort of a one-show kind of girl. :-)

How We Learn

“Exploration,” says John Stilgoe, author of Outside Lies Magic, “is a liberal art, because it is an art that liberates, that frees, that opens away from narrowness. And it is fun.”

Yes: it is so, so much fun, and that is why I write these posts all chattery with excitement over this or that connection the kids made today. (Or that I made myself!) I know I get carried away, but that’s the point, isn’t it, that way leading on to way has carried me away?

And yet—and yet—I think we are at once ‘carried away’ and made more fully present in the now, more rooted, by these relationships between ideas about things past and future. The joy of connection makes me want to celebrate this moment, this brief encounter with wild-haired child and broad-trunked tree, bus going by, sign on church wall, Scottish warlord creeping over the tower wall and startling the English soldier’s wife who has just put her babe in arms to sleep by crooning that the Black Douglas won’t get him. Child, laughing, shouting “Dinna ye be sae sure aboot that!” across the courtyard outside the library. How can I not celebrate this freedom?

    A Word about How I Blog

    Every day is complicated, messy, and full of friction. And every day has glorious or cozy moments worth celebrating. I seldom bother to chronicle the friction and the mess because writing time is fleeting and precious—and childhood even more so. I’d rather capture the small joys that I might forget—or take for granted—if I don’t take time to set them down in words.

    (Excerpt from this post about Real Life, quoted here because I don't want anyone to be under the impression that things are always perfect around here! Heaven knows we are anything but. Perfect, frictionless, orderly? Nope. Happy? Most of the time!)




    Be Like the Bird

    Be like the bird
    Who, pausing in flight
    On limb too slight,
    Feels it give way beneath her,
    Yet sings,
    Knowing she has wings.

    —Victor Hugo
