Been a few weeks since a proper entry.
Things were pretty stressful and hectic. The hectic part was due to the influx of business at the office and all the yuletide gatherings & galas which I had to attend before the winter holidays. Boring, mundane, day things.
Holidays came, and I managed to sequester myself and trundle furiously through on cosplay. I finished Nyotalia Spain! \O/ Then I made exactly 1 trip outside the house in search of Nyotalia Austria fabric, and I got struck down with sickness. So I only got half my days off to do cosplay, and the other half I was sick. Intersperse all that with "wonderful" family time (in this case wonderful means getting screamed at by hypocritical mother for no good reason) and those were my holidays.
Bright spots included:![]()
jiyoon isit, watching tar Trek: The Animated Series n Star Trek: First Contact On New Year's)
Back at work now. One of the network drives lost the last 6 months of work in the middle of the installation of a new one, so work has been backed up because we're trying to recover and FIND things. It's a mess. Not as bad as a complete wipe would have been, but still mildly horrifying....
And onto something more interesting now;
Fandom / Conventions / Cosplay

I'm under major stress because of Star Trek into Darkness
I know I've been spamming Trek everywhere on Twitter and Tumblr lately, and I broke down and wrote a friend-locked rant a bit ago (RE; Techno goes insane over things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things), so, with that, I won't go into it all AGAIN on here, cuz n1 curr. But, I will say this; I really fucking HOPE (a word I do not like) that they haven't completely taken the essence of Trek out of Star Trek. I hope that SOME form of writing, research and source material respect has evolved over 4 years and made its way into the sequel.
SIGH. .. .I'm simultaneously being beaten and still making excuses in its favour at this point.
Outlook is extremely doubtful. I'm 100% certain I will be some golden form of lividity. This h8te and r@ge are self-sustaining now.

Anime
So I recently watched a new Anime \O/. Success in trying to keep the genre alive in my interests here. Unfortunately the anime I watched was GANTZ. I should have listened to Rock name Lee when he told me the manga was better and to stay away from the anime. lol. Wow the ending was shitty. Plus all the main characters annoyed the hell out of me. You know you're getting older when stories starring teens make you curmudgeon up the place. There were some adult and working characters, which made the episodes more interesting, but still. Also, the ending. If I can say one or two good things about it though, the violence is great (although it's wrapped in angst and exhausting monologues on morality so;...), and the main character guy (Kei) had a vulgar speech pattern that was different and a bit refreshing compared to what I'm used to watching. (Though he still pissed me off.).
Hetalia Season 5 is set to come out SOON. I'm half thrilled and half worried about how it's going to look and which comic strips they will animate. I've been disappointed enough with a lack of USUK and Buon San Valentino!!!! JUST GIVE IT TO US ALREADY. ;_;
Other than that (and the new Sailor Moon) nothing has really piqued my interest... Such is being a person who still prefers to buy upgraded releases of DragonBall than anything else. :'|
Cosplay
My cosplay roster for Katsucon 2013 has changed a bit. I think. I'm definitely bringing Fem!Austria I need to get started on those clothing pieces hahahah;;;.
Pretty certain I'm not going to be able to finish Ranma-Chan. If I have room or reason for something else, then I'll re-wear something comfortable.
I'm also definitely bringing Doctor McCoy to hang out with my frien![]()
izunadrop247 s Sulu though :DD ![]()
hentaigirl82 aid she will try to make Uhura for Katsucon, but she just got engaged and is already busy planning the wedding, so if it doesn't happen, there's always next time.
Next time being the VIP Experience ticket for William Shatner at Philidelphia Comic Con 2013 (May 30 - Jun 2)!! Bought the ticket already so it's all set in stone!![]()
