The Otakon date for 2003 was leaked (and is in my convention schedule) and I can’t go. It’s the same weekend as my oldest cousin Jim’s wedding. Arrrgh! Why can’t Otakon stay on the same weekend for two years in a row? At least I’ll see everyone at Anime Boston…and some people have said they’re […]

I installed The Sims Online. I played it last night after work for a couple hours. Addicting. Got to make out with a couple girls — who were probably really fat, sweaty, 43 year-old men…but it’s best not to think about that. As far as I know, she really could have been a gorgeous blonde […]

May 9 – Bakuretsu Con (I’m a guest. I have to go.) June 13 – Port Con Maine (I may decide not to take this off and just head […]

That new costume I was talking about a few days ago (see Nov 3)? Fox McCloud from Starfox Adventures. I’ve given it some thought and decided to move it up my list of possibilities. The hardest part would be the head, but I’m confident that I can do a more accurate job with that head […]
Read More Yes, another fox. I must be sick in the head.Last 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 […]

Finally working on my little Bakuretsu Con 2002 report. Unfortunately, I didn’t get any cosplayer photos…but Adam was nice enough to say I could use his. (…and he’s credited appropriately.) Thanks Adam! 🙂 Still have to write the Sunday report and summary though. Now that I’ve started, those should be done soon enough.

I need to go buy more Mentos tonight. Secret AXNY plan. Backup plan, actually. I won’t be able to make Hamtaro cookies before I leave. …and I’m not sure people would want to eat my cookies anyway. I suck at cooking and baking. Bought a Pepsi Blue in the office complex cafeteria. My co-workers (still) […]

I put up most of my TotemCon report and will probably finish that today. I also modified the con list so that it will display options and dates in English (default), French, German, and Spanish if your browser is set to prefer one of those languages. (Google does the same thing.) Esperanto, Portugese, and Norwegian […]

We will check dates on things like yogurt and salad dressing and will keep if the dates are good. It is always safest for you […]
