Back in December, some friends moved from California to Massachusetts. Being a native New Englander and having lived in Massachusetts in college and again from 1995 to 2013, I’m very familiar with the area. I wrote up a guide to the area to help them adapt. At the end of the guide was a list […]

It’s 11:48pm on a Tuesday, December 8, 2015. The podcast crew recorded our Year in Review for AnimeCons TV earlier tonight to wrap our seventh season. After some In-N-Out, my wife and I relaxed with episodes of The Muppets, Supergirl, and Agents of Shield. She headed to bed and it’s time for me to face […]

This morning, one of my best friends of nearly 20 years died. Fuck cancer. Elizabeth Bramlett Donnell, “Lizz” to most people, is one of the most kind, understanding, considerate, giving, creative, and fun people I’ve ever known.

So anyway…about last weekend… I picked up sagechan at the airport and we headed back to my place. We watched This is Otakudom and Bridge to the Future and played a few games. The next day was very wet and rainy. We went to Kelly’s Roast Beef for lunch and stuffed ourselves so incredibly full […]
Read More Last weekend…Lizz and I decided to put our pair of Escaflowne costumes on hold until 2004. (Wow…2004 seems so far away!) We’ve already got other plans for 2003 and there’s no way we’d be able to get them done for 2003 cons and still have them look good…since neither of us really know how to sew […]
Read More Esca-laterLast night I went out to Derek, Jami, and Troy’s in Worcester for a Day of the Dead party. Most people wore costumes, but I didn’t since my back was still killing me. (Yeah, for once I actually wasn’t in the mood to wear a costume! Go figure!) It was feeling better by the time […]
