Or nothing but work.

It's been a few weeks since I got home from ECCC. Just like last year, it was great. Surfer 99 being there was the proverbial icing on the cake. I do hope to go again next year, even if it might be the only convention I attend. I've been trying to work as much as I can, not only to recoup the money I lose by having off, but to save a bit for more days off. This time for my coming pool tournament.

CGC is a rich man's hobby. I calculated what I have spent over two years, and for someone of my stature, it's staggering. Last year I decided to pin point what I wanted to collect and do. Megacon and ECCC helped contribute to my signature series by procuring the signatures myself, but my collection has not grown.

I sold a few books but not nearly enough to refill my coffers. My bills are still paid first, but maybe, like the Professor, I might need some time away. Of course as I crack signatures for comic books, I'm only adding to what I spend, not to my collection. So I think I might omit getting more and more signatures this year from my list of requirements, after all, the two conventions I went to this year are worthy of sating anyones CGC appetite.

PS. I say this now like a drunk the morning after, but I'm reminded of a saying my boss would remind me of, volume hides all sins, and in this case that volume is money.
