    Katsucon 2004 pics!

    I’m dead tired. I don’t know how I made it through the weekend. I fell asleep in the room 3 times by mistake. But it was fun! I was part of a great AMG group for the masq, and I met lots of cool people and it was great seeing friends from other cons again. Not enough really happened to…

    A-Kon 2003 pics!

    when i was excited for akon

    So Indy and I did the 3 mile walk for the Humane Society today. It was fun! There were so many other dogs, and I was worried about Indy being crazy and getting herself in trouble, but the only time she jumped at another dog and barked was when one got too close to me while she was in my…

    Upcoming 2003 Schedules & Plans!

    I would just like to say here that I do not want to be a babysitter and tour guide at Dragoncon. That is all. Anyway. Other than that, I’m SO looking forward to Dragoncon. FINALLY a convention where all 3 or us – me, ash and cath – are together. So, so excited. God, Cath is going to LOVE dragoncon.…

    when i made a to-do list

    I’ve been wanting to do a little daily comic strip, just a silly sort of thing… I may test run it next week while I’m gone in the daily sketch and see how it feels. The thing is – and the reason I’ve avoided doing comic strips – is that I’m not good at that punchline at the end it…

    Katsucon 2003 Pics!

    I’m still recovering from katsucon. But I did update the cosplay site, with new costume junk and a con report! There weren’t many stories to tell, but you can read what I did those few days anyway. Belldandy came out much better than I expected. I was so frustrated over the wig I wondered if I would even wear the…

    when I made a costume decision

    Ok, I’m doing Beatrix and Milly, but I need a 3rd. I ran through the choices… Sailormoon costume: Did one already, don’t really want to do another. Sailor Lead Crow might be fun, but a pain to make AND a pain to wear. Out. CardCaptor Sakura: I’m not cute enough to be Sakura. Plus I hate wearing dresses, especially feminine…
