   What A Weekend!

I need a break! I know I sort of disappeared for the weekend. On Friday I went on a little road trip out of town for some shopping. I had to buy some more craft supplies for our cosplay costumes, pick up some anime and manga. I ended up getting the DVD thinpack of Chrono Crusade, Peacemaker Kurogane #7 and Full Metal Alchemist #7. Manga wise I picked up some Kare Kano, Bleach and Naruto. It was a very fun trip and now I have some stuff to keep me entertained for a while. This is all good since for the next week John is out of town on a business trip. So basically I will be reading manga, watching anime and working on my cosplay projects while he is gone. It's been really quite around the house without him here. The dogs were upset last night since he was gone. They kept going to the front window looking for him. Sad huh. Poor pups, they miss their daddy. Speaking of dads, Saturday was my dad's birthday. We went out to dinner to celebrate. It was fun. We ate lots of good food and had a great time visiting. Since my dad is diabetic we skipped the cake and had just a bit of ice cream. ^_^ Last night I had dinner with my brother Hiroshi. He actually brought dinner to my house. We hung out and listened to cheesy 80's music and visited. It reminded me of when we were kids. It's weird to think how we are now "grown ups" living in our own houses now. Time really does fly by. It was a very nostagic evening. So anywho, if you need me I'll be cuddled up on the couch in my comfy sweats with some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream watching anime if you need me. Later! Comments on Comments marz: Normally when doing these Q & A sessions I write what the questions are but I was lazy. >_<;; Much like I am lazy today. MiasmaMoon: Tienes preguntas y yo tengo respuestas = You have questions, I have answers. That's a rough translation more or less. I was at a loss for a subject so I just used that phrase. When cosplaying it is more about having fun. When you step back and think about it there are very few people who physically can come close to being an anime character. I mean, how many bishonen men have you seen running around anime conventions....or anywhere for that matter! Cosplay who you want, have fun, that is the important thing. Houston anime cons...I would really love to make the trek down to Texas for one of those. Since there are so many voice actors living in Texas those cons always have great guests. Dallas may be the closest I get this year. Perhaps next year! Lytjuh: You should cosplay! I love walking around a con and seeing all the great costumes. It's great when you can identify secondary or background characters from an anime series. I guess it shows how much of an otaku I am since I get really excited when I see someone costuming in something other than the main characters. A couple of years ago I saw someone cosplaying Hiroshi Uchiyamada from GTO. His costume was so simple yet one that fans of the show would recognize. He was wearing a suit, had a wig on that made him look partially bald and was carrying a steering wheel. When John and I saw him we said: "My Cresta!" Yeah, I'm an otaku. SunfallE: Yami no Matsuei rocks. The only bad thing is when I watch the show it makes me want to eat dessert. >_<;; SomeGuy: Oooooh, you have some great suggestions. I think I will vote for Beck next month. ~_^ Mamma Vash: Sakura-con is in Seattle. You should make the trip up north and attend Sakura-con! The website is sakuracon.org and it has all the info you need to know. The last day for pre-registration is the 28th. Chicago in the winter...are you crazy! Brrrrrr!! I bet you are happy to be back in So.Cal! It's all icky rainy and cold here in Washington. It's the cold, wet weather that shoots straight through you and into your bones. My joints are all creaky now. I feel like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz. Oil! Oil! ShadowLight: Balut...ewwww, icky. I swear, whenever I think about it I feel sick. If anything thinking about Balut helps with my diet. Dark Spirit 21: Cool. KitsuneTsuki: Men with brooms gold: Canada! Aaryanna: Wedding Peach. I have only seen the first episode. I really should finish watching that series. Mouse: Meh to you too sir! I don't know what to say to you since we just talked on the phone. So I guess you just get Meh! indifference: You are too sweet! ::tackle glomps:: AngelBest Dream: I'm not mad at you. I only have issues with people who break the rules on the site. If you don't break the rules there isn't anything wrong. All is good. Extra Side Notes Adam: Just a little something for all the "quotes" you've been posting from me... PFFFFFFFTTT!! BankofKev: Live action Robotech announced and you didn't even tell me! You tell me about P-Diddy outside your window but not about a live action Robotech coming out. Oh, I am so sad I've been left out of the loop... Waaaaaaaa!
