Yes, I know I’ve been slacking on posts lately. After E3, I had a few days to take a breather before having to dive back into the madness known as “prepping for Comic Con.” There was also a weekend vacation to Mexico, which is where this picture of me about to drink rattlesnake tequila came from.

So over the weekend, the full schedule for this year’s SDCC was announced. I managed to express the first day panels that I was most interested in the other day. I figured now that I have a few moments, I’ll mention a few for the rest of the days.

DAY 2: There’s a whole bunch of Marvel panels that I may or may not stop by depending on how caught up on the floor I get. There are also the Fable 3 and Fallout panels… and then:

• 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM – Pixar Animation Studios: Ronnie Del Carmen— As in comic books, the expression of storytelling in movies is done with images, staging, acting, and a myriad other skills. The Pixar Story process uses the same focus and much more. Ronnie Del Carmen (story supervisor, UP) delves into the Story process few rarely see and offers a glimpse of what it’s really like to work in Story @ Pixar, followed by Q&A. Room 26AB

   

• 5:15 PM – 6:15 PM - True Blood Panel and Q&A session— Mixing romance, suspense, mystery, and humor, True Blood kicked off its 12-episode third season June 13 on HBO. The series, which has earned two Golden Globe nominations for Best Television Series-Drama, follows the romance between waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin, Golden Globe winner for True Blood season one; Oscar-winner for The Piano), who can hear people’s thoughts, and her soulmate, 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer). Alan Ball (creator of the Emmy-winning HBO series Six Feet Under) created and serves as executive producer of the series, which is based on the best-selling Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. The series also features Nelsan Ellis as Lafayette Reynolds, Sam Trammell as Sam Merlotte, Rutina Wesley as Tara Thornton, Deborah Ann Woll as Jessica Hamby, Kristin Bauer van Straten as Pam, Denis O’Hare as Russell Edgington, the Vampire King of Mississippi, and Joe Manganiello as Alcide Herveaux. (Note: names in bold will be appearing on the panel.) Moderated by Tim Stack ofEntertainment Weekly. Ballroom 20

• 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM - Archer— Creator and executive producer Adam Reed (Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo) screens selected scenes from the FX animated series Archer, which recently won a NowNewNext Award for “Best Television Show You’re Not Watching” from cable’s Logo network. He will take questions from the audience along with Aisha Tyler, who provides the voice of Agent Lana Kane, the strong, voluptuous, and often exasperated secret agent. Adam and Aisha will discuss the evolution of the series as well as the voice-over process. Room 7AB

And then if you’re around afterwards, go see my friends from Machinima:

• 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM - Machinima: The Artform and Opportunity— Future filmmakers and animators are embracing Machinima as a way to make movies they otherwise couldn’t create, and with unprecedented success! Machinima has matured as an artform and an exciting storytelling medium. Panelists Hutch (Machinima Respawn), Adam Kovic (Inside Gaming), Khail Anonymous (Critical Flaw), Lyle Burress (Sanity Not Included), Ralph Sanchez (Dragon Age: Warden’s Fall) and moderator Jeremy Azevedo share the why and how of their accomplishments.

Greetings!

So I have safely arrived in San Francisco. The weather was quite ugly when I landed, but fortunately, has cleared up and left me with this beautiful view:

Anyway, for those coming to WonderCon this weekend, just a heads-up if you missed the memo… Make sure you stop by the Lionsgate booth (#939) and pick up your FREE ticket (available Friday and Saturday while supplies last) to a screening of Kick-Ass Saturday night!

Yeahhhh, I know, I know. It took me forever to get this up, but ya know, I’ve been a busy gal, haha. Anyway, here’s the video:

Here’s some more random video footage from May 2009′s Hawaii trip smushed into 10 minutes (and 29 seconds).

Alicia, Elissa, Karri, and myself went out there for a week to celebrate my birthday and just get away from a lot of the craziness we were all dealing with. Coincidentally, our friends Phily and Alex were out there at the same time, as well.

Like a lot of the other Hawaii vids, there are a lot of inside jokes that nobody else is going to get…. so you’re basically watching another video of us being goofs. But hey, if you’re a LOST fan, there’s some site footage in there for ya.

Oh, and sappy moments.

For a tour of our awesome Villa:

For Karri and I’s first morning in Hawaii while the other two were still sleeping:

For the video of us hiking through Waimea to get to a LOST site on my birthday:

Okay, so I can’t really make a statement like that in all seriousness considering, other than a very very painfully boring four-hour layover there once, I’ve never actually been around the country…

However… this is pretty rad… HELLO KITTY AIRLINES:

Here’s another video from my Hawaii trip back in May:

May 2009 in Hawaii. After a brutal hike through Waimea the day before, we decided to take a day off and just grill and relax.

Here is a video from last May when some of my girls and I went to Hawaii for my birthday. In this one, we spent my birthday hiking for hours…

For my 26th birthday, the girls and I decided to take a very, very long hike through Waimea. – WARNING: This video is full of a whole bunch of inside jokes that you probably won’t get.

So part of 2007, I spent on the road in a van full of stinky boys. This is what happens when you have a long drive ahead of you before the next city and show… and all of you are bored out of your minds:
