Thank you for the postcard, Kaja! You are made of awesome. And I hope your holiday was just as fantastic as mine was. :)

Now as for YOU TWO *looks at Molly and Katrina*... you guys make me happier than you can possibly know. *cuddles*

I don't think the radio plays have been uploaded yet. As soon as I find them I'll post links here.

I'm hopping on Molly's computer real fast while we're unwinding from Kumoricon to say a quick hello. Con has been AWESOME. We did two radio play sessions (two plays during the first one and one full play and two previews of new plays Phil's currently working on in the second one). We also had our own panel that we used to perform our Girl Genius Dating Game skit. It was a major hit and a TON of fun to do! The room was packed. We almost had to turn people away because we couldn't fit them all in the room. Phil also managed to show up! And everything has been filmed so I'll be posting those videos here as soon as I have access to them.

That's all for now and I'll probably be posting more once I get home. And expect a ton of pictures and a few videos!

Later!

Alright, folks. My flight leaves in four and a half hours for Portland where I'll be meeting up with Molly and company. YAY! I'm so excited to be going back.

I'll be gone until Wednesday afternoon. Seeya then!

Now that convention season is mostly over for me and I've gotten done everything that needed to be done (except my Jen costume but that's really low priority for me right now) I am now officially open for commissions again.

I'm taking both art and wig commissions. For info on art, click here. For info on wigs, click here.

Comments will be screened in case someone wants to discuss a commission here.

Oh geez, I just ordered yet another wig for yet another cosplay I've been inspired to do at the last minute. Hopefully I'll get it done for Kumoricon. If not I'll wear it for Halloween and then use it for conventions next year.

Oh, and now I bought ear tips (scroll down, ears #K). Yeah, it looks like I'm totally doing this costume.

*sigh*

For those of you who grew up on The Dark Crystal... I did not. We watched it at work yesterday and that was the first time I'd ever seen it. I fell in love! And yes, the whole time I was watching it I was piecing together the costumes in my head. Well, I want to cosplay Jen. Here's a picture for anyone who isn't familiar with this movie. Jen's the one in the foreground.

I'll be shopping for fabric and patterns this weekend.

*shakes head slowly at self* Lately I can't help but look for awesome cosplay opportunities whenever I watch anything. This is becoming a bad habit. A very expensive and addicting bad habit. But MAN I love it!

I just ordered a scanner! WOO! It's an HP ScanJet G3110. It's an older model so it was cheap but it's got a REALLY high resolution so it'll work just fine for my purposes. But yay, no more taking pictures of my artwork and hoping they turn out clear and even enough to be discernible. Oh, and now I'll actually be able to scan in my art and use Photoshop to turn it into line art without having to go over the lines again with the paintbrush tool which is SO TEDIOUS OMG. Just scan and color! YAY!

My ex-roommate had left behind a scanner for me that she didn't want anymore but I tried hooking it up once and apparently the driver software just won't work with Windows Vista. And there's no updated version and probably never will be. So it's a perfectly functional scanner, it just won't work with my computer. Ugh. Maybe I'll give it to my roommate. She's running Windows XP.

But yay! Now I'll have my own! And I checked, this new one will run on Vista. YAYNESS! Hopefully now I'll be able to start doing some real, professional-looking line art and drawings.

For some reason I missed all my regular suspects tonight. Makes me feel a bit lonely.

*sighs*

Thanks to Nika and Tom, here are a couple links to Comic-Con galleries with lots of cosplay photos from our group.

OMGCOMICCONWASAWESOME!

First order of business: my cat is SO HAPPY to have us home again. He's purring in my lap right now.

Second order of business: CON REPORT OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! ( Click the cut! )

ETA: I'd also like to announce that over breakfast yesterday Phil informed me that he and Kaja will in fact be attending Kumoricon this year, even though it doesn't say so on the SF calendar. YAY!!!

Alright, I'm off to Comic-Con! See y'all Monday!

I'm happy to say that I'm currently on schedule and my costumes are just about done. Whee! Now I just need to make a quick pair of bloomers, sew a few buttons and such, and help my roommate with her costumes a bit. Tomorrow I'll pack and we'll be on our way to San Diego!

Sheena and I wanted to do some research on where we'd be staying so we contacted wyrmul and he sent me the name and location of our hotel. I freaked. We're staying at the San Diego Marriott Mission Valley Hotel! A FREAKING MARRIOTT HOTEL!!! Not THE Marriott right next to the convention center, but STILL. Here's a link with pictures: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/hotel-photos/sanmv-san-diego-marriott-mission-valley/

Holy cow.

Also, MY AANG COSTUME IS DONE! ( Click here for a picture! )

That is all! I'll probably post again tomorrow before we leave, or maybe even later tonight if I have more exciting pictures.

SO much better than the last bald cap! ( Check this out! )

I found a clip from the Masquerade of my favorite skit! It's called "My OTP". Be afraid. Be very afraid.

And if you click the "Anime Expo 2009" link at the top of the page you can see all the other AX09 videos hosted on that site.

*breathes in deeply and slowly lets the breath out*

And the pre-con stress begins.

I JUST BOOKED MY FLIGHT TO PORTLAND IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!!

Hey, people! If you guys are interested in seeing some pictures from Second Life of my Maxim avatar and his friends, follow this link: http://wulfenbachians.ning.com/photo

The first five photos were taken by me within the past couple of days.

I just paid off my credit card. :)

Man, that felt good.

ETA: I also just paid rent today and the bills were all done last week. \o/
