The Diva and the Geek

I'm a Frosted Mini-Wheat - the kind from the 80s and not that disgustingly catchy jingle that takes place at a tropical villa.

And what do I mean by that? Well there are two sides of me. I'd like to say one is healthier over the other but both boast their share of guilty pleasure.

I decided to engage both the diva and the geek within this weekend starting with a Madonna-centric dance party called Madonnarama. What can possibly suck about that? Though the party, which took place in a dangerously-at-full-capacity building, was slotted to go til 4am, I left early (early being 2:30) without so much as hearing a peep of the following songs:
Like a Prayer

Borderline

La Isla Bonita

Open Your Heart and
Material Girl (no doubt being left as the finale)

Yet Gambler was played -- top drawer!

My apologies for the horrible quality picture, there's just so much I can ask of a camera phone:Yes, that is Darko.

The next day, I put my geek face on to attend the SFX. By the way, if you thought I'm a geek (or even if YOU'RE a geek) FALSE! There are people who reign their geekdom with a mighty staff and 12-sided dice. I'm not big on seeing celebs though Adam West was there this year which prompted me to take my room mate with me (though we were unsuccessful). I usually go just to walk and browse about the comic book artists. This year I picked up some prints from an artist named Alana Machnicki who also does a comic called Corduroy High. Might have been the colours that attracted me - or perhaps it tapped into my love for robots and ninja cats:

The only thing that can top these is one giant picture of robots fighting ninja cats... or a robot ninja cat.
