   Stuck To My Katamari: Anime Screeners

Current Mood: Square Hi everyone I'm new here on theO! My name is Gail and I really love anime, manga and cosplaying! I hope to be an active member here and makes lots of new friends!! Meh. Well, with the amount I have been posting lately it sure seems like I am a newbie huh. Sorry about that guys. Let me give you the condensed version of what's been going on since my last update. Anime Expo: Lots of fun, overheated in costume, lost my badge at the Bleach photoshoot, met lots of great people from theO and Cosplay.com. Only purchased a couple of items from the Dealer's Hall. Wrote AX review article, CLAMP interview and Industry panel reports. Have a look at them in the news section of theO. Health: Not so great. RA is a pain in my...bum. Or in this case fingers, wrists, elbows. My dad is finally back to normal but now my mom is really in bad shape. After a visit to a bone specialist her bones are so brittle they could break at anytime, even in her sleep! Isn't that totally crazy?! I got RA from her I hope I don't inherit her brittle bones as well. That just bites. Writing: When I got home from AX there was a screener from ADV waiting and then Friday I got 6 screeners from FUNimation. I have 3 more to go, the others I've already published on the front page of theO. Check them out when you get a chance. Up next is Case Closed, then Papuwa and last is Baki the Grappler. I hope my fingers hold out until I am done! Anime Obsession: Currently Ouran High School Host Club and Fate/Stay Night are owning my soul. As always Bleach is keeping me occupied as well. Manga Obsession: Obsession may be too strong of a word since I haven't had much time to read. On my night stand right now is Death Note. Cosplay: I am going to make an Ururu outfit to match John's Tessai for Kumoricon. I am also in the process of making a Nekozawa costume from Ouran High School Host Club for Sakura-con next year. Like I said, I am obsessed with the Host Club series right now. Not to mention I still have the Katamari Damacy Ichigo costume and a couple of other odds and ends I still need to work on as well as existing costumes that need some revamping. Meh. Too many projects not enough a)time. b)money. c)motivation. d)non-arthritic moments. theO: As mentioned before I've been writing stuff for the site like crazy. I've also been bugging Adam to no ends about some odds and ends dealing with the site. Speaking of which I best put my name in for a couple of those nifty theOtaku.com limited edition t-shirts. I think that is about it. I best be getting back to my review of Case Closed. I hope everyone is having a wonderful July and life is groovy. Love you all very much and thanks for always being here for me. You guys rock. *glomps everyone* Cookies and Comments Solo: It was great meeting you finally. I hope you, and all of the great stuff you bought in the Dealer's Hall, made it home safely. Dan Woren mentioned to me on the last day of the con he ran into you on your way out of the Dealer's Hall. You need to fill me in on what you got on that last day! KitsuneTsuki: I would really like to meet you too. I should really save up some money to hit some of the midwest cons so we might actually have a chance of meeting someday! Yensid: Having geriatric parents is tough. I suspect it's only the beginning of all the medical issues. As for the con it was great. I am already making plans for Sakura-con next year! You better be going! Cooly Fooly: Oh cosplay was fun but it was terribly hot. Being in costume at a con just adds another dimension of fun. Shin: It was great finally meeting you (and all the other guys) at AX. It's great to have faces to put to names. I just wasn't expecting Shy to be soooooo tall! LOL Now you know first hand how absolutely nerdy I am. Rachmaninoff: AX was fun, hot, but fun. I only caught the fireworks one night. Since the Anaheim Convention Center is across the street from Disneyland there are fireworks every night. It was all good. Aaryanna: I missed you too! *glomps* While offline I wondered quite often about what was going on around the site. I'm glad you guys kept Adam in line. ~_^ visualkei: Ah yes, Mamma Vash and I do our very best to meet up every year at AX. This year was the first year we actually met up without any hitches! Oh, and thanks for the compliment on my site.
