++ Zedd and Kesha have officially released the studio version of "True Colors", the one she performed at Coachella, which you can buy now on iTunes. The money won't be going to her abuser, so no need to worry about that in order to support her. The song itself is a perfect mantra for her and she sings it so beautifully. I'm just so happy that she has found a loophole to find a way of working with other producers, which hopefully soon she will be releasing her own music. ♥
++ Alicia Vikander has been cast as Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider film franchise reboot. I know some were banking on Daisy Ridley or even Alycia Debnam-Carey, but I'm pleased with this announcement. I think she's a wonderful actress and I can totally see her portraying Lara.
++ I may be going to a local Wizard World Comic Con in June, mostly because it's relatively very close to where I live. So far the only people I want to see is Jewel Staite and Hayley Atwell. I don't think I'll do anything extravagant aside from going to their panels, especially since scheduling is subject to change at any given point between now and then. I haven't returned to the convention scene since attending Dracon*Con in 2011, but I've always wanted to and this is the closest opportunity I'll get since it's in my hometown.

Yay conventions! I miss having Wizard World in Toronto. They were a very well run convention. I missed seeing Hayley when she was at our Fan Expo last summer but I have seen Jewel a few times and hope to see her again this summer. She's worth going to see :)

Ever since Firefly I love watching the panels the cast do, and I love that Jewel has been constantly going to conventions throughout the years. I mean, she's been featured heavily in scifi and genre television and loves going to those kinds of events, and has mentioned many times how she loves meeting fans, so it would be fantastic just to see her in person. :)
