Happy New Year / Resting

No figure review today due to the recent holidays, end of the year festivities, and just wanting to chill out.  I’m also going to be turning in all my applications this week and that has been on my mind as well.  There’s also a strong possibility of no Friday post either due to the (currently unforeseen) side effects of exuberant celebrations of ringing in the New Year the night prior.

Rico’s Christmas Wishlist (2009)

Taking the cue from Aka’s recent wishlist I thought it would be fun for me to try my hand at it as well.  I thought it would be something fun for the Christmas week as well as easy to write considering I spent the better part of yesterday digging my car out of two feet of snow.  Following what Aka did with his  I’m also trying to make a true wishlist; meaning these are figures I wish I had but are either hard to obtain, exorbitantly expensive, and/or don’t actually exist but I would like to see made.  Santa Yuki is one of them.  :3

I still function…

So my tests are done and over!  (Yay!)  While I came out of them looking a lot nicer than old Megs here, I’m completely bushed but the extra hours of studying were worth it.  The good news is that I scored better than I had been on the practice tests, so I’m really pleased with myself.  Now we’ll just have to see how the chips fall with the applications.

Otakon Pics by B

This gallery is mostly Cosplay pics. I’m not like an authority on cosplaying or anything, but these are just some I thought were interesting. I had intended to take pictures of everything, but in the dealers room I was too busy looking for stuff to buy. For those of you who have not seen the dealers room at a large convention, it is an epic sight to behold. For this year this is all I have.

Nana & Hachi

We were going out to get something to eat and I saw this girl smoking a cigarette and I thought to myself “she’s so punk fucking rock.” and I had a feeling like I saw a famous person. Then I saw her friend and I realized they were cosplaying as Nana and Hachi from Nana. I think it’s my personal favorite of the convention because I didn’t think “cosplayers” first I thought “wow that’s Nana and Hachi!” and I was totally stoked. Read the rest of this entry →
