A Wild Nerdy Appears!

When I made my reservation for the Crowne Plaza for Ohayocon I included a special request. I asked for something simple. ‘A framed photo of Ellen DeGeneres in the room’

This is the first time a hotel honored this request. Everyone who came to our room geeked out at this and I shared it on Facebook as well. So I figured I’d share it on Tumblr too.

UPDATE

So I stayed at the Crowne Plaza again for Matsuricon this past weekend. Once more I put in a request for ‘A framed photo of Ellen DeGeneres in the room’. While checking in the folks at the desk were like “Oh wow, you’re the Ellen guy– we’ve got that photo all squared away for you!”

I was expecting the same photo with a new note. What I was not expecting was this.

A framed photo of the original framed photo

Not just any photo– a framed photo of the photo I took. I shared it on Facebook again and tagged their official page. This time they left a comment.

Let’s see what next year’s Ohayocon holds.

IT GOT BETTER

So unfortunately, I had to cancel Matsuri this year-- I managed to fracture a rib, which makes driving for long periods impossible. I handed my room off to a friend of mine, and requested she send a photo of the Ellen pic once she got to con.

I find this image oddly apropos, considering the situation. 

Grandma Tala. She seemed like a fairly healthy old woman on the whole, right? Dancing with the sea and the rays, doing Old Crazy Lady things etc etc. Okay. Sure.

The thing is, my sister suddenly pointed out that, ever since Moana dropped it as a baby, Tala had possession of the Heart of Te Fiti. The source of Life.

And then she gave it to Moana, who ran off with it to try and get the islanders to voyage out for Maui, and… suddenly deteriorated. Died.

What if the Heart had been keeping her alive. Te Fiti gave Life to the islands, but in the hands of another, what if that isn’t what it does? What if the Heart grants immortality? What if Tala knew, and still gave up the Heart so that Moana could find Maui, restore Te Fiti, and save Motunui?

WRONG

Trap Master can only be flipped during your turn or by the effect of another card. Since no card has been activated to trigger such an effect, Trap Master cannot be activated in response to Trap Stun.

The effect of Prediction Princess Tarotrei can flip trap monster face up on the opponents turn. 

Once we send that Prediction Princess Tarotrei to the graveyard, our trap sealing will stick around.

Ritual Sealing does not negate, only destroy. Prediction Princess Tarotrei is destroyed, but its effect is still carried out.
