Otakon: Pros and Cons

Back from Baltimore and back to work, let's sum up the trip shall we?

PROS -

1. Hanging out with life_of_eden for the entire weekend and talking about nothing but our cats for an entire hour

2. Arctic-cold hotel restaurants that are deserted and really not that expensive

3. Picking up an icecream cone-shaped timer for my kitchen and a darling kitty-themed catch-all tray in the dealer's room

4. The screener of Bunraku. Who knew Woody Harrelson and Gackt were like peanut butter and chocolate? Or that Gackt could actually look his age? Awesome movie, everyone needs to see the theatrical release! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVa…

5. The Chemistry concert had backup dancers with very tight pants.

6. Trigun: Badlands Rumble kicked ass.

7. Wearing heels the entire time being the fabulous bitches we are

8. Seeing more and more people dressing normally. Maybe we started a trend.

CONS -

1. The line for Trigun was insane, Eden and I were sandwiched between some retards that were debating which roman language would take over the world and two pimply-faced teenagers that couldn't stop making out.

2. Ice cold water. One dollar.

3. Marco polo. Nothing else screams this is a desperate cry for self-assurance that I am not alone quite like a desperate cry for self-assurance that you are not alone.

4. Kamina nipples of the non-animated variety.

5. One-hundred and five degree weekend

6. Panels, showings, and events never starting on time.

7. Sailor Bubba's new Misty costume.

8. The drive back to Columbus.

Overall we had a blast and came back with some great con stories!

A little R & R...

When you work in retail management you get three weeks of paid vacation that you can never take. Management has too much turnover to plan a vacation since once you have your days set and flight booked your store is understaffed and you're not going anywhere. There is also PTO blackout between Thanksgiving and January and other times throughout the year. What this means is that PTO is taken in small doses, a day or two throughout the year here and there. Not as effective as a full week or two off, but I gotta take what I can get.

The point of this post is that I got away for a weekend and now I feel refreshed. I posted pics from this weekend on my blog! http://anachronisticstyle.blogspot… I pretty much spent all weekend in my swimsuit either on a pool, on a boat, or on my back.

Very productive weekend indeed.

What writing journal?

I decided that since I am no longer posting writing on this journal that I should go ahead and post the life stuff here. Seems like everybody has been coming out of the woodwork lately that I haven't seen or heard from in years. I guess you could say it kinda inspired me to post, to say that I am still alive and checking LJ daily.

UPDATE - My life has been reduced to reheating my coffee in fifteen-second intervals. Stacey and I are ships passing in the night. I work too much, obviously. Mommy I don't want to be the boss anymore. /update

The best place to actually hear from me is my style blog - http://anachronisticstyle.blogspot…
I update there several times a week to feed/share my vintage obsession. I love the new e-mail notification feature, I get all my blog updates in my mailbox so I don't have to visit 12+ blogs a day!

Disjointed post is disjointed.

Graduate School

I have received my official acceptance today from the University of Hawaii. I will be attending graduate study at the Manoa campus and pursue my Ph.D in Social and Personality Psychology with Dr. Elaine Hatfield (http://www.elainehatfield.com/).

I will be leaving Ohio, my friends, my lover, and my family to work towards the next chapter of my life. I will be packing two suitcases and hopping a plane with my bunny rabbit in tow to move across the country and a span of ocean for several years.

My only response to all this is "Fuck."

Sword of the Stranger Showing!

So one of my all-time favorite animated films will be showing in 300 cities in America this Thursday, February 5th at 7:30PM--Sword of the Stranger. This movie is top-notch as far as plot, visuals, action, backgrounds, music, and characters are concerned and has been emmy-nominated this year. Check theatre locations and showtimes at:

http://www.fathomevents.com/detail…






Join me this Thursday night to experience the awe and intensity that is Sword of the Stranger. To me the movie is on the same plane as Howl's Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke as far as epic scope and grandeur, so please enjoy this moving film!

Dollfie Sale Post

Hey guys, it has been almost six months since I last posted on this journal. I've been writing on and off but most of my energy was consumed by 1) graduating 2) applying to graduate school and 3) working two jobs. I've graduated now, got my grad apps in (Hawaii, Cornell, and Indiana *crosses fingers*) and have quit one job so now I only have one. I'm easing back into writing every day again but I am nowhere near having enough to start posting, I'm working on a serialization right now so I keep starting stories but never finishing the ones I've started.

I've also decided to get out of the BJD hobby because I'm moving to Hawaii and I've had Asuka for...five years now? And I've done three photo shoots, many of which haven't seen the light of day let alone any BJD community, and he's been sitting on a shelf untouched for over a year now. I really can't justify the luggage room he would take up or the shipping costs for when I move. I have to face that my ship has passed and the only thing left for me is to try and get back as much of the $2,000 I've spent so far on this luxury hobby. So I'm selling my doll, my doll clothes, my doll accessories, everything.

Well, that's all the doll stuff I own! If you guys know of anywhere else I can post sales let me know. ^_^

Otakon

So, leaving tomorrow morning for Otakon. I will be with a group of six--two girls and four guys. We will probably be one of the very few groups of people walking around looking normal. Eden and I are distinguishable by our shoes. If anyone wants to meet up and kick the can for a bit private message me and I'll give contact info. Cheers!
