    when i posted some cosplay progress percentages

    Just a random update for those who don’t read my cosplay journal: Jupiter: 100% Utena: 100% Belldandy: 90% – everything done except finishing the wig (which is giving me a headache) and making her foot things. Chun-Li: 65% – still got to make the actual dress part, oops Amalthea: 90% – was 100% until a small problem emerged and it…

    when i found some dcon pics

    Dragoncon put up their official gallery, and I found these two of me and ash that I loved !! This one, back a ways, and darker than the others, but I think it looks really neat. And my dress looks all cool flowing behind me here. And this closer up one, which looks like it’s from the same photographer that…

Tonight we are going to go see Just Married, I think it’s called? Whatever. It’s for Na’s…

    Hee! Look at that goob who is the “poster child” for Harry Potter cosplay on cosplaylab. I cleaned my room last night. I started at like, 10:30 and stopped by 11:30 cause that’s when the Buffy episode I was watching ended. Ha. Then I went to bed cause I was all tired, but ended up sitting there watching the rest…

And it did end on a weird “yay hagrid” note… I mean, that’s all very well and fine but it just dragged out and seemed… weird. I…
