The Wii hunt and Twitter

I had a fun weekend. and I were at Best Buy on Saturday and learned that they had 21 Wii in the store, but could not sell them until Sunday. Jess decided that she was going to get one, so I said that I would go to the store and wait with her the next morning. We got there at 8:30 and the store opened at 11, but we were the first in line. I became the line coordinator assigning numbers to people as they came to wait. It was a pleasant line experience, and I think I found a way to make money in the future. Go to stores on big release days and manage the line for a gift card. I could see many store managers that would probably go for something like that, as they wouldn’t have to use their staff for it. We go the Wii setup and played for quite a while. I was able to borrow Rayman Raving Rabbids from a friend for her to try out, and I believe that she has decided to buy a copy.

In other news, I made a twitter account today. You can find it at www.twitter.com/deweese

Cheers.

Red Star and MTAC

Well MTAC was a blast. I had a great time and was able to debut Red Star. Here are some pictures of the finished costume.

We did actually go to some panels at MTAC which included one that Chris Lee did about making droids and props etc, one on J fashion that none of the presenters were prepared for, and adult origami. We learned how to fold a lips with a tongue and a penis. The other fun thing about MTAC was doing something different for the rave, and this is what was created.

My nails are still black.

Blackfire

I spent today helping Maria finish up her Blackfire costume from Teen Titans for MTAC this weekend. Here are some pictures of the final result.

We are just finishing up Red Star so pictures will come of that soon.

Aftermath of the interview

I feel good about the interview. It was only 30 minutes long, but the guy who is the supervisor of the area who was walking me out said, “Wow that was a record, 30 minutes in and out.” I ask, “Is that a record good thing or bad thing?” his reponse, “Very good thing. Normally they are over an hour and they keep asking questions like they are trying to pry something out of you. If they are short, then it seems like you answer their questions and give them enough information the first go round.”

With all of that said, I am now just in a waiting pattern I guess. It could be a day, or it could be a month.(I say that as Todd had to wait about that long after his interview to hear back) For now, I will still keep doing my DK thing. That is another interesting issue that comes up. Do I want to try to stay on call at DK if I get this job, and they will have me? That would be some nice icing on the cake to work a weekend day or an offsite event when I am not out of town. Extra money towards a costume or gas would never be a bad thing.

Possible promising news

Today at 11:30 I have a job interview. It is with a health care company doing IT/Help desk stuff which would be a great opportunity for getting started in the IT field. I know a couple of people who work at the company which would be another plus, and it is in Green Hills so I would still have a non-existent commute. I don’t want to get too hopeful, as it sucks when stuff doesn’t work out as planned. I guess I will just have to see how the interview goes.
