The series has delivered an endless stream of laughs to older audiences while making fun of just about every cliché in the book. Deadpool and Wolverine is billed as one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer, but fans new and old will feel let down by this latest entry.

Cosplay Review: Scarlet Witch from “WandaVision”
During the uncertain times of the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, I embarked on a captivating cosplay journey, transforming myself into the enigmatic Wanda Maximoff from Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War. With my sister as my talented photographer, we ventured to a nearby park, where she captured my essence as Wanda in stunning photographs. After carefully selecting my favorite shots, I eagerly shared them on social media, hoping to bring a spark of joy to the Marvel cosplay community. The response I received was overwhelmingly positive, ranging from heartfelt comments appreciating my dedication to bringing Wanda to life during these challenging times to individuals sharing and reposting my photos with their followers.

SDCC Schedule
San Diego Comic Con is going to be a very packed weekend, with peak days being on Friday and Saturday. I have desperately tried not to overbook myself but there is just so much that I would like to do. Sunday is the day that things start winding down. All of the major announcements have already been made, the big names are going home and the crowd starts to thin out a little bit. This makes the convention a little bit more networking and comic centric. So there is still plenty that I want to do on Sunday, even with fewer options. SDCC always ends with a sing along of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Once More With Feeling. My dad and I went last year but honestly I am probably going to skip it and just come home to my husband. The sing along is fun but it won’t be as fun without my dad and quite frankly the weekend is going to be really long without my Patrick.

SDCC Schedule
Saturday is probably going to be the biggest and busiest day of San Diego Comic Con. Most people that bought single day passes bought them for Saturday and it is routinely the first day that sells out. I am personally not setting foot in any of the bigger halls on Saturday so I am hoping that everything that I want to hit will be easier to get into. That said I am also hoping that I left myself enough time to get in line for the things that I think are important. I think I have figured out a strategy for these bigger conventions so let’s get to my Saturday schedule for SDCC.

San Diego Comic Con
The schedules for San Diego Comic Con are now being released and my little nerd heart is very happy. There is going to be a lot going on all weekend but Friday will probably be my busiest day work wise. I already have some interviews lined up. Figuring out the schedule for the weekend is leading to some really tough choices. I am simply too nerdy for my own good and it is taking just so much effort to choose what I want to do. All that said, let’s get into my very tentative and hopeful schedule for Friday at SDCC.

Anime Expo
This year I am going to my first Anime Expo. There are a lot of cons coming up and I am going to be very busy towards the next few months and Anime Expo kicks off my con season. As I have just recently started getting into anime I don’t know a lot of the shows and manga that have panels going on but I am using this as an opportunity to learn about some new things and find my next hyperfixation. I will be pretty busy on Saturday and on Sunday I do just get to kind of wander the convention floor and see if there is anything that I want to spend money on. But you know that I really love to share my convention schedules with you guys so here is my Anime Expo plan!

Beneath the Surface
Certainly! Here's a story titled "Beneath the Surface": --- In the quiet town of Crestview, nestled beneath the shadow of towering mountains, there was a lake known only as Stillwater. Its name derived from the eerie calmness that perpetually hung over its surface, reflecting the sky like a flawless mirror. Locals spoke of its mysterious depths, where legends whispered of forgotten treasures and dark secrets. Among the townsfolk, young Sarah had always been drawn to its tranquil allure.
