I was too busy dealing with a mule-mergency this morning to engage in my normal 5:30 am SOCIAL MEDIA BLITZ so here is the greatest photo ever of my mule in his new Hannibal Lecter mask because on the phone with the vet this morning I was informed that as adorable as it is that Red looks like a sausage with little chubby toothpick legs, it’s not exactly healthy for a mule to have cankles and back tits.

In other completely unrelated news, Dragon*Con is almost here and the collective SQUEEEEEEE is beginning to echo throughout the Southeast and parts of the Midwest. I’ll be there because I want to breathe in air that may have only moments ago been expelled from Alice Cooper, William Shatner or *swoon* Carrie Fisher. Never mind the orifice from whence it came. Sharing celebrity vapors is all that matters. That and snapping pictures of Lady!Thor and Steampunk!Loki and every Mortal Kombat character EVER because this is the one time of the year when I get to walk around with a vodka tonic in one hand and a camera in the other re-living the joys of a nerdy childhood. And there’s also that part where the whole thing turns into one big nerd orgy after about 11pm when everyone’s good and drunk and all the naughty costumes come out.

See you guys there.
