Sep. 22nd, 2013 07:54 pmConnotations is over, and it's way too late for the 10th anniversary/last con or its book. But I was going through some photos off my old laptop, finally, last night, and I found some from my first Connotations ever, 2003 I believe ETA: No, 2005 clearly, looking at the cake. So for the perusal of anyone interested, here they are:
( Connotations photos )
In current and much less pleasant news, I don't have great faith in the comics industry much of the time. And yet I was still surprised to learn there's a new series coming out soon using the title "Sex Criminals". Which the blurb assures is, will 'put the "sexy" back in "sex crimes"'
Really? Really?
And I'm also sad all over again about Hayley leaving Coronation Street soon, not just because Hayley's great and it's going to be sad, but because I realised she's been in Corrie for 15 years, and she's still the only trans character in British soap as far as I know, barring Hollyoaks. Certainly the only one in the big 3. And even she's not played by a trans actor. 15 years and much critical acclaim later. Which is a bit of a let-down, really, looking back. And soon there probably won't be any, unless they're going to introduce someone new before she leaves. I won't be holding my breath though.

( Dragon Age: Origins spoilers I guess )
And can anyone tell me, if they shop at Play.com, if the Play.com search engine is working for them at the moment? I go to the site and put something in the search box and hit return, and it either does nothing, or just puts a little # in the url. It doesn't seem to be loading anything, so I don't know if I'm just not waiting long enough. But it's frustrating. And it'd be nice to know if it's a problem with the site or my computer.
I don't have enough detective icons. Is what I've worked out from this post.
