Yeah I know :) it’s just the stuff in all the museums I’m visiting with Greek/roman mythology it’s hard not wanting to see all the gods hanging out again.

I feel like the bad kind of geeky when I’m in London, Paris, and Rome and thoughts of Ratatoullie, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Sword in the Stone, and Hercules keep running through my head…
Too much to do tonight…pack for Europe, clean house (don’t want to come back to any smelly trash), and edit a-kon photos @-@
Btw I’m going to Europe tomorrow for several days…I’ve been recovering from the con and now I’m off again…I miss the internet and tumblr so much D:

No, on Monday morning when he was at work, the apartment above his broke a facuet and it flooded all the way down into his bedroom and everywhere. It was a big ol mess :\ pretty bad…luckily has renter’s insurance to cover most damages, but it’s new management so hopefully everything will go well.
Omg, my voice is so shot…I blame Medieval Times :)
A-kon 24 con report!! I haven’t been back to A-Kon since 2006…we had a falling out with the cosplay contest back when we were young and I hadn’t been back since…but upon the realization that Emily and Kristin hadn’t ever gone before, and the announcement of the new hotel, we decided to hit it up this year and check it out.
Quickest summary: The con itself…pretty lackluster. I wasn’t interested in going to any panels/programming (any program worth going to had very intimidating lines… mebe when I was young I would take it, but not anymore). The hotel overall was spacious enough to hold the attendees, but how the queues and the layout was set up was RIDICULOUS…that bottleneck hallway that led to the dealer’s room, artist alley, prereg/registration, AND food was ridiculous. I was lucky to not have to deal with the worst of it (where people were crammed into it and no proper line and wasn’t moving at all…pretty much they looked like trapped sardines). We stayed at the Anatole and all the removed amenities were the worst. No extra blankets, iron, or HAIRDRYER?? WTF. We were paying so much money to be inside the hotel and got so little. Also I had asked for a tower room but they put us in the atrium (which was really far from the exhibit hall…like…very, very far)…my printout had asked for the tower, and originally stated $17 for parking and they charged $19 (not to mention $20/night fee that our 2 nd car got stuck behind…)
Anyhow, hanging out with friends in cosplay was really the best. The artist alley really impressed me with how many amazing artists/booth setups there were. The con planning/programming was meh but the location was so bare bones that I refuse to stay there and ever again. Didn’t even have a tag to put “Privacy Please” on our door =_= Smaller cons are so much more fun than line-cons.
Con memories behind the cut…

What's the Disney movie with the white haired girl who's a hundred but looks young and the brown haired guy who wears glasses? It's a cartoon
It’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire
(feel like i suddenly got hit by the lightning round of Disney Trivia or something)
I started working on cosplay nearly at the beginning of April (right after Anime Matsuri)…and now with less than 2 weeks away from A-kon let’s see how delayed we are by the amount of redos I’ve had to do:
- blouse base+sleeves (2 times)
- buttonholes (3 times)
- Buying wig (2 times. Unfortunaately the first one was a better color, already pawned the 2nd wig off to McNutt :B)
- shoulder holster (2 times)
- Pants stripe (3 times)
- Socks stripe (5 times)
- Patch (2 times)
I have a calendar that I use to track my progress and hopefully plan ahead…but by now it almost looks like I shifted everything out of the month of April and May because I was redoing so many things =_= but all I have left now are the magazine pouches and styling the wig~ If I can get a pattern down for the pouches, it really shouldn’t be too difficult.
But here’s hoping I can make a decent shield for Homura then by A-kon…I need a prop mentor @_@
normally i write this stuff on my cosplay fb page, but i just feel like a whiner and tumblr is used to little shits like me
4th time’s a charm…-_-
