Farewell Toonami
"Well, this is the end, beautiful friends. After more than eleven years, this is Toonami's final broadcast. It's been a lot of fun, and we'd like to thank each and every one of you who've made this journey with us. Toonami wouldn't have been anything without you. Hopefully, we've left you with some good memories. And so, until we meet again, stay gold....Bang." -Steven Blum (aka TOM) Look, I don't give a fuck how much of a sissy overemotional cartoon addicted fanboy geek this makes me: When I heard Steven Blum sign off a programming block dear to me since I was 14, and do so by revisting that gorgeous last line he voiced for Cowboy Bebop, I cried my eyes out.

I don't really like birthdays. But still, this is mine. Give me presents, or at least a good idea of something to do today. |

So message to all you artistic types out there. If you ever want a pure surrealistic experience, stay awake for about 36 hours, fire up On Demand -> free movies -> award winners and fire up the academy award shorts. srsly liek whoa. In other news, I sacrificed the bulk of Katsucon in order to learn how to sew. It looks pretty awesome, but no one got to see it. I'm also the only one on my block with a sheet of ice on their doorway. fun times :) |

Word has it that all Best Buys are getting a minimum of 20 Wii in stock Sunday. So I guess I'm camping out. And not in Columbia this time. Friggin' rich nerds. I can't imagine why, but if anyone wants to keep me company, they're welcome to do so. |

Fun factoid of the day
So apparently water in the presense of molten lead causes explosions. The burns to my face really aren't all that bad. Welding gloves and saftey goggles for the win! I wish it was, but no, if you're wondering, this is not a joke entry. Casting came out a little crystaline, and the first pour has some large bubbles in it, but so long as the mold holds out, I think I can get a good one, and torch/polish away the crystaline fractures. The mother mold cracked in the oven. I've got to decide weather to glue it back together, or to try and make a new, reinforced mother mold. Not a huge deal. The silicone mold should hold out a few more times, but not as many as I would like. It's already starting to discolor. |

Ohayocon update
Everything went well. I really didn't do much at ohayocon except shop, talk to geeks, and take pictures, but really, that's just fine. The 501st costume/prop discussion was excellent, and worth the trip to ohio alone. I spent most of the time really wishing I could be working on my Ryuk costume. I'm more pumped about this than ever. I bought my Death Note notebook, and my cross looks like it's the perfect size. Even more exciting, I found a leathersmith who is willing to do the holster for the book for a mere 25$. I was completely willing to pay three times that. Joy. I finally own FLCL (legally). Got a tremendous deal on it, I'm extactic about that. Outakes, storyboard overlays, subtitled director commentary, english production commentary, free t-shirt, hard copy of the "manga" scenes in a booklet. I mean. it's just pure unbridled joy. Things I learned: *It's ok to like miniatures. I think I'm more comfortable with the idea of owning them and having them on display. * I love girls who love Heero and Duo. Furthermore, I will have this fact printed in T-Shirt form. *Don't listen to your model. Effects makeup cannot be rushed. *Make sure the scar is on the correct side of the face FIRST. *No, It's not ok that you forgot the makeup remover. Not when working with prosthetic adhesive. *I've got a LOT more to learn about fiberglassing. *BYOB to cons. So much easier this way. *The fangirls were right. I could totally pull off a Treize cosplay. And he's such a pimp to boot. He's officially on my list of future costumes. Most likely Katsucon '08. *Overall, guys make better loligoth outfits than girls. They dont' look better in them, but the seem to be of higher quality. *Take the meds on the last day of con. You loose less stuff this way. *Look at the hentai carefully before buying. You've probably already seen it, they just make up their own english titles at pure random. Also, it probably also wasn't that good. Luckily all the stuff I lost was recovered. I'm just gonna have to pay to get it shipped to me. (Really cute Ryuk plushie, some excellent old-school style Dragon Quest monster keychains, and some miniatures.) kk, lunch is over. if I feel like it, there may be a followup post to this. |

Oh God, he's doing it again
OH TO HELL WITH YOU MR SUBJECT LINE! IF I WANT TO USE MY LIVEJOURNAL TO GUSH ABOUT ANIME, THAT'S MY PREROGATIVE! Uppity mother fucker. Like he's so much better than me. he's a fucking subject line. I don't think he even has any friends or anything. He just has to hurt anyone who ever gets close to him. It's sad really. Anyway, OOOOOMMMMMFFFFGGGGG, 23 episodes in, NANA has achieved the not-especially-coveted spot of "my favoritest anime EVAR". You know a story is good when you have to pause it every couple of minutes just to revel in how incredibly gorgeous the whole thing is. The manga has sold over 30 million copies in Japan alone, so I'm pretty sure it's not just me with this opinion. I mean, has a work of fiction ever been so compelling to you that you constantly find yourself thinking that you want to track down that one character and punch him in the throat? Ooo, I just can't believe he treated my beloved Hachiko that way. Oh itsu so good! I wish I could eat like this evry day! |
