9:17 pm	My report on Animefest What can I say about Animefest other than it was for me, by and far, the BEST. CON. EVAR. I swear I've never been so relaxed at a convention before. Before I go into weekend details, a bit of patting myself on the back just a bit. I'm rather proud of my Akashi coat, mainly because of the fact that it's the first thing I've made it with no pattern and almost no help. Also, my Rider 1 costume, which gave me a few problem along the way, finally paid off. I just don't get how you mistake it for a monster costume. Unfortunately I didn't get to wear my pimp ep. 2 Kyoya that I put together, but there will be other times for that. So how did it all go down? WELL. Friday I got in around 2ish. Took a while to get my badge due to the not so adequate filing system they had in place. I changed into Kamen Rider 1 until after the Johnny Yong Bosch panel, which was quite enjoyable. After that, we had dinner at Spaghetti Warehouse with Brianna and friends, who I haven't seen in over a year, and also just happened to be right across the hall. Sweeet. Saturday was filled with photo shoots for Fuuma no Kojirou, followed by Boukenger, then some downtime before nightfall. Then there was the Eyeshine concert, which was the first con concert I've been to since Camino at Oni-con 1 IIRC. After that, I went to go help Lily-tachi with their skit. Hilarity ensued in the form of dance, which has been cataloged in video form. Sunday I didn't really wear anything, which was a change of pace. I actually got to just enjoy walking around the con without having to worry about being anywhere and managed to take some quality shots of my Prince of Tennis peeps care of Brianna's awesome camera. Got to enjoy a performance of Ramen and Rice in the hall outside main programming. It was noted that the carpet must not have been of a very high quality, because it seemed that the slightest movement on it brought it up in small lint like clumps. When it came time to line up to see the skit contest, boredom gave over to seeing how big of a clump one could make with the individual ones there. An hour and a half, and the combined efforts of several people I barely knew gave birth to the being known as Carpet Meatwad!! Yes, Carpet Meatwad, a clump of carpet fuzz with paper eyes and the size of a decent Digimon plush. I've never seen so many people come together with such a sense of purpose. No bickering, no arguing. Just good ol' con folk with a vision. Then it was on to the contest. As opposed to other contests, I didn't actually get up on stage this time. I did however provide 4 voices for 2 skits. After watching the competition, I was overcome with the need to perform again. I thought I'd be happy with just my voice doing the work, but I guess not. It'll be a while though before I get something off the ground. I want to make sure it's something the audience will enjoy without playing down to them. After that there was an impromptu meeting of the Digi-destined in our room which may or may not have lead me to being part of their group later on down the road. That remains to be seen. Then there were goodbyes to be said, packing to be done, and a return to San Antonio and life here. All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better time... Well, I could, but you do what you can with what you've got. On a related note, there's something I'd like to say about the members of my room, one in specific. If it wasn't for you, I would not have had the enjoyable time that I did. I'm more than grateful to you for your friendship and support, even now. You being there means more to me than you know, and it's something I won't forget no matter what life throws at me. I consider myself fortunate to have you as a friend and only hope you feel the same. My nakama. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:23 am	The results are in First and foremost, thank you to all that wished me well before the audition. Your encouragement meant a lot to me going in there. So now that time has passed, I'll let you guys know what went down. It was pouring in Austin when I got there a little before 9:30 am. When I went to sign up for my audition time, I was already #170 and my time wasn't scheduled until 4:30. So I pretty much ended up bumming around Austin for the better part of the day. When it came time for my audition, I was informed that there was at least around 400 people auditioning from all over the country, and that the casting director's plane had arrived late, so they were about an hour and a half behind on getting to see people. I finally got in there sometime around close to 6. I did my slate and sang about 45 second's worth of "Could You Bite the Hand" from the Wolf's Rain soundtrack, which sounded better than I had heard of myself practicing it all week, if you ask me. The way it worked was that if they wanted you for a call back, the calls would be made that night, and then you'd be needed back in Austin today. My phone never rang. No callback. So yeah, that's pretty much how my first major audition went. But like I said before, it's all gravy. It's not like I was betting everything on this. I've still got moves to make, so I'm not done yet. P.S. For those going to A-kon (who probably won't be reading this til Monday), have a good time! I'll miss seeing you all.

2:56 pm	To anyone still reading this journal I know that I haven't been around too much online talking to anyone really over the last couple of months. Truth be told, I've had a lot on my mind trying to work out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I've really been feeling isolated lately, and a lot of that is my own fault. I felt that if I didn't really have anything other than work to talk about, I might as not write about it. Well, this week I've got something a bit more to talk about. Specifically, the audition that I mentioned in my previous post. So here's the 411: The audition takes place tomorrow, Wednesday, in Austin. The part is for Peter Parker/ Spider-Man. As some of you may or may not know, there is a Spider-Man musical that will be going up on Broadway next year with the score done by members of U2. Open casting calls are being held across the country, and Austin is the last stop. Ever since I found out about this thing, I knew I'd have my work cut out for me. The call sheet asks for a tenor pop voice, whereas I'm a bass/ baritone that hates pop. I'm more than likely shorter than most of the people who will try out. And I know that there will probably be an army of people there ready to go. To be honest though, I'll be happy just to say that I was able to try out for this thing. Spider-Man is a figure that I've always looked up to in one aspect or another over the years, so to me, it would be an honor in my book to say I at least tried to represent him. Now, that's not to say I'm going in there with a defeatist attitude. I fully intend to put everything into this when I go up there. I hadn't mentioned anything about this before because I didn't want to say anything about it in case it fell through, but the way I figure, no matter what happens, it's all gravy. Depending on what happens, I'll post again with a follow up. Current Mood: distressed Current Music: Could You Bite the Hand - Steve Conte (9 Comments |Comment on this)

5:53 pm	I LIVE!!! Work has been hell lately. For some unknown reason, customers are taking it upon themselves to yell, report, blame or all around just rag on me for absolutely no reason. And moreso than usual, I've been noticing how badly behaved kids are. Just yesterday, I saw a 4 yr old kid punch his own grandmother for taking away his candy; No joke. Old news is old. Thanks to Doran's heads up, I was able to make arrangements to go see Jackie Earle Haley's autograph signing (the guy who played Rorschach in Watchmen, for those living under a rock). I was surprised that he and I are pretty much the same height. Go figure. Some progress was made on the transfer front. I was finally able to take care of the financial aid end of things. Now I just have to turn in the school paperwork and go audition for the school. But before that happens, there's another audition that I'm considering going out for. I don't quite fit the requirements, but more so than anything else, this would be my dream job. More on that as it comes up.

4:30 pm	Stolen from technoir Go through the list and check off the titles you have watched. For our purposes, "watching" a title means that for TV and OVA series, you have to have seen at least one episode. For one-shots, you have to have seen the whole thing. At the end of each genre/category, add up your sub-total. At the very end, add up the sub-totals to come up with your grand total. If your grand total is 80 or over, congratulations -- you are an obsessive anime watcher! An Editor's Note: not all the titles listed here are great, and some are even steaming piles of crap. Titles on the list are here because they are either 1) genuinely good, 2) insanely popular, 3) good examples of the genre, or 4) just plain notorious. Good anime obsessives should be able to watch series with any of those qualities. ( How I did ) Grand Total - 103/260 I can count a good number of these I should've seen by now, but just haven't gotten around to it, mainly in the historical section.

11:11 pm	Heroes post and other things Finally, things are getting back to where they should be. I've been seeing a steady improvement over the last few weeks, and now this show seems to be at a point where they can achieve something better than what we as an audience have been given thus far. ( Am I referring to a show on NBC or to my life? ) tl, dr things are looking up and it's safe to watch Heroes again. Also, if you'd still like a Christmas card, please see my previous post. I'll be sending them out this week. And now ladies and gentlemen, live(at the time) from the Fuji Rock Fest '08, SPECIAL OTHERS. A must see.

9:20 pm	Color quiz and proof of life Taken from my results off of http://www.goldinuniverse.com/ "At this particular time you are feeling the results of extreme stress and you are seeking a 'way out' but you are pushing too hard. Obviously you need peace, tranquillity and contentment. Your temperament is such that you are hoping, unrealistically perhaps, that your desires will shortly be fulfilled (even if at this time you are not quite sure what those true aspirations may be!). You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement. You need to be stimulated and need to feel that 'Life is worth living' and you are awaiting that stimulation and you don't particularly care where it comes from! Everyone has to compromise at times and circumstances are such that at this time you are feeling the need to do just that. Put all of your hopes on the back burner and let matters flow for a time - forgo some of the things you want. The good times are just around the corner. You pretend that you are a carefree individual and that nothing really bothers you - that you are so self-sufficient that whatever problems beset you they simply flow off you as water flows off a ducks back. You are experiencing considerable stress, trying to conceal yourself from the rest of the world. In actual fact - deep down, you are not at all happy. You feel lonely and you need someone with whom you can 'Let your hair down' and share your hopes, dreams and high standards. You are imposing unnecessary self restraint on yourself. You would like to demonstrate the unique quality of your character to all and sundry. Since in the recent past all of your hopes and aspirations have been denied you, you are now convinced that the future will hold nothing but anxiety so therefore 'why bother?' You would love to get away from it all, to escape from the trials and tribulations of this mundane existence and fall into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, which will protect you from the lack of appreciation and give you the chance to start afresh." I know I haven't been around lately. Hopefully I'll be changing that soon. Christmas cards coming up. Start thinking if you want one.

5:37 pm	Update The Heroes premiere. Ok, let's get to it. Mohinder has just become that much stupider. He didn't get super strength, he just got the powers of Jeff Goldblum in The Fly remake. I swear, that scene was shot almost exactly the same. I totally called the sex drive thing. It's adrenaline; it has that kind of effect on your libido. Five bucks says Maya gets knocked up. And Hiro. WTF man? I know he hasn't thought through some decisions before, but seriously though. Don't open the safe means DON'T OPEN THE SAFE. Although, future Ando using Hadouken was nice. In other news, due to Oni-con's date change, it looks like I'm not going. There's no way I'd be able to get that weekend off from work. Seems like a lot of my plans will be rescheduled for Ikkicon. More later. (Comment on this)

9:48 am	This is a pie chart on procrastination: or how I took forever to write about Dragon*con Sorry for the delay. I blame that same lag I experienced last year about this time. Well, Dragon*con. What can I say? As I sit here writing this, I find myself having a hard time keeping the events straight in my head, since overall the whole experience is kind of blurry to me now. I’ll do my best to recount everything as I remember it. So, let's take it from the top. So Thursday, I woke up at 4am after going to bed at 2:30am. Made it into Atlanta around 10:15 or so and didn’t have to wait long for everyone else to show up, everyone else being Kristen and Helena. We got to the hotel and settled in and began the weekend long retard fest that we’d all been waiting for. It’s nice to see Jimmy-con still lives. There was a funny incident with Kristen swinging a pillow in my direction, which I dodged. Unfortunately I forgot that I was still wearing my drill bit for Simon, which proceeded to whack me square in the forehead as I ducked. That night we listened to some Robin Williams on Broadway, some Jeff Dunham (DOT COM) and saw some stuff get destroyed on Discovery Channel. Good times. Apparently as I slept that night, I somehow did 2 things I usually never do: snore, and talk in my sleep. Now in my defense, I was in the middle of a very vivid dream, so that might explain the sleep talking somewhat. Anywho, when I came to the others swore that I said the following: “They just keep coming… they just keep coming… Do you think my plan will work?” which was apparently answered by a very confused Helena: “What the hell are you talking about? Go back to sleep!” after which I was whacked in the head again and then stopped talking. Friday, I didn’t do too much. I went down as Hiro to get an autograph from James Kyson Lee, who plays Ando. Oddly enough, only he and another con-goer were the only ones that recognized me. That night Helena and I went out to get some shots of Zero and Simon, only to have some rather questionable people on the street continually come up to us looking to take our pictures for us. We even had some random hyper girl jump right in to ruin what would’ve been a great shot. After the attempted shoot, we searched around in the late night for something to do which ended with the discovery of the laughable atrocity that is Strike Witches, a series that’s just asking for comments from anyone suckered into watching. The show is made of Code Geass references and “I’ll wear pants before I go to war!” Saturday, I tried to attend the Pokemon gathering that was supposed to be at 10 that morning. Unfortunately, when I got down there, I didn’t find a single person. So I made the choice to get an autograph from Hayden Panettiere from Heroes. She’s really nice in person. After that I proceeded to check out the many dealers’ rooms, and after a bit of searching, was able to acquire some decent Rider swag, including the Naomi figure I’ve been looking for.^^ That night’s Dawn contest was, well, pretty much what I expected. After a load of fail, there were only perhaps 3 to 5 worthwhile contestants, all of whom deserved something. Plus, we got freaking Rick-rolled by one of the contestants, so that was special. After that, a second Zero/ Simon shoot was done. Sunday, we all slept in pretty late, until about 1 that afternoon or so. After grabbing something to eat, we all went back to the room and watched some more comedy clips while the others got dressed. While everyone went off to do their epic Trinity Blood shoot, I ended up catching the masquerade in the overflow room at the Marriot. The events thereafter kind of blended into the next morning. There was a required stop at the nearby diner whose food I’m so very fond of. Then there was a Dethklok panel that seemed promising, but then quickly descended into drunken Golden Girls references, so we just left. Then there were the late night conversations in the room on topics general, negative and just outright blood boiling. As before I was one of the first to leave, so as to try and beat the hurricane that was making landfall at the time. Flew through the edge of it, but got home safe and sound and was finally able to get some nuggets from Wendy’s. Seriously Atlanta, what the hell? First no Blueberry Cheesequake blizzards at your Dairy Queens, to say nothing of decent sizes for burgers, and now no nuggets at your Wendy’s?! Yo ass must be crazy!!! *Ahem* But I digress. Over all, it was nice to be hanging out with Helena again, which was great seeing as I haven’t been able to do so since… well, last year’s Dragon*con, as well as everyone else. There were good times as well as more than a few things that could’ve gone differently/better. But yeah, that was pretty much my weekend… two weekends ago... DOT COM.

5:19 am	Off to Dragon*Con Sorry I've been away for so long, but getting stuff done for today has just been kicking my butt left and right, among other things. I'll at least be bringing Latios, Hiro Nakamura, GAR Simon, and Darkman. Unfortunately Kiva would cost an extra $50 to take that totally slipped my mind. At least he'll be ready for Oni. So far so good, Flight leaves in an hour. Hope everyone has fun at AnimeFest. Part of me wishes I was headed there instead. OK, lets do this!

10:06 pm	Weekend Update... on Tuesday morning So yeah, weekend is over, as is my birthday. Ended up going to San Japan to do the skit thing. Ran into a ton of people I knew within the first 3 hours or so. It was good to hang with Chelsea and Lily and see the others that attended as well again. But yeah, just as I figured, the con wasn't much to shake a stick at. In fact, the stick resents me shaking it at this thing and says I owe it money. Friday consisted mainly of checking peeps into the room, then Chinese buffet time for dinner with more peeps. Saturday was skit day. Had a bit of a mishap with some red paint in the room which led to having to bloody up 2 out of 3 of us. We ended up getting best skit in our division... which was just us. Go figure. :/ Then, last night I had a very nice dinner last night at this place called Shogun. Pricey, yes, but totally delicious. As it turns out after Chelsea and Lily left Sunday, they found out that I could have worked with them on something I'm well suited for and was willing to help with. A fact of which we are all equally pissed about. Here's the final count on b-day swag: Statue figs of Kamen Riders Ryuki, Faiz, and Hibiki A fig of Hiro Nakamura!!! (*thanks to Kaylyn-tachi for that) Gundam Wing eps 1-25 on DVD (been trying to get that for years) Batman: Mask of the Phantasm on DVD (been looking for that for a while) And yes, I am a huge nerd. Please believe. Now to work on D*C costumes. 3 to go. It looks like I'll be switching from Scyther to Latios for the Pokemon gathering. I hope to be done with at least two this week, which should work out. More later. Current Mood: anxious Current Music: Justiφ's accel mix - ISSA (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:49 am	I live!!! What I'm listening to now Sorry I haven't been posting lately, it's been hard to get back here. I've had quite a bit on my mind lately. So much so that it's been affecting all areas of my life. To be truthful, I've been trying to make this post since probably a week after A-kon. There's just been a lot on my mind over the past month or so that I'm just now feeling better about. Now I'm getting back to focusing, and I'm glad. I think the haircut helped. For those concerned, don't worry, it'll grow back. On the bright side, I've been fortunate enough to have a day or two of excellent times, both of with involved me leaving the city to go hang with people in the Dallas area and Buda. In it's own weird way, the epic-ness of those few days have somehow managed to make me feel better about things. I've got my birthday next Friday, the 8th, with some plans for hanging out over the course of the weekend. I'm thinking something simple for Friday night: mini-golf and go-karts with con peoples. It'll be nice to spend time with friends again. And now on to more pressing matters. Dragon*Con costume list (in no particular order): Future/GAR Simon Scyther The Joker Kamen Rider **** - (depends on which one I get done first) Hiro Nakamura Darkman - maybe Strider Hiryu - maybe Joker, Hiro and Darkman are done. Strider is almost done. It's the other few that are giving me a headache; Simon not so much as the others. P.S. I've rediscovered the joys of Grape Kool-Aid. Oh, how did I manage without it? P.P.S The Dark Knight is the movie of the year. Goes without saying. Current Mood: crazy Current Music: Joe Satriani - Mind Storm (4 Comments |Comment on this)

4:30 pm	A-kon: It was that kind of weekend The title of this particular blog comes from the phrase that I continually repeated ad nauseam for the better part of the weekend. Basic rundown- Friday Up at 4am, make it to Kaylyn and Andrew's apartment by 5. Had a problem with someone not knowing when to show up to be part of the caravan of about 6 cars. Add to that having to pick up several people and hitting several setbacks, that has us pulling into Dallas around 12:30. The rest is as follows: Took an hour to find parking remotely close to the hotel. Waited 2 hours in line for a room key followed by a quick change leading into Hana Kimi goodness with Lily and Tracie. ^^ Then I met up with Anna and got all settled into the room. This was followed by and hour and a half wait to get through the pre-reg line. Around 7, Jackie and I pretty much were the Gurren Lagann meet up. Around 8, switched into Speed Grapher for a very productive shoot with Brianna. ^^ Retired to the room to have some good pizza, good times, and sleep. Basic rundown- Saturday Slept in 'til 10, then changed into Kamen Rider 1 around noon, with Zappa graciously reprising his role as Kamen Rider Amazon. Around 2ish, I changed into Kyon and wore that for most of the day. Had an amazing Haruhi shoot again with Brianna, after which, we all took the rail line downtown to have dinner at Spaghetti Warehouse. Got back in time to see some of the cosplay entrants. Got back into Rider 1 for a few minutes with Tracie as Skyrider. Spent the rest of the night packing and chatting until consciousness was lost. Basic rundown- Sunday Got woken up by some idiot next door. Handed off Super-1 to Doran and grabbed a donut at the adjourning mall. Tried hitting the dealer's room one more time to see what was left. Lost a vehicle before we hit the road. (Dude just up and left. :/) Got an Iron Man slurpee from 7-11. Lost another 40 miles outside Dallas. (Fan belt blew) Got back around 9ish. Crashed. Final thoughts By comparison, this was the worst A-kon i've ever been to. A lot of it was really stuff that was out of my hands. I regret not being able to hang with as many people as I'd hoped to, but I was still very glad to have seen those that I did. For now, it's pretty much the summer grind of work and wondering how to visit people. I'll be working Dragon*con stuff on and off until I get some form of motivation to keep me from procrastinating myself into a corner. More on that later.

4:28 pm	Quick post If I do this fast, I can actually get a post in. Sunday, I went to see Speed Racer for the 2nd time. Along with Iron Man, these are the two best adaptations of a comic book or series I've ever seen. I have no idea why it's doing so bad at the box office. IMHO, it was accurate to a T. They even played a bit of the original Mach-A-Go-GO theme at the end. I didn't end up making it to that award ceremony, so I have no idea if I won or not. A-kon stuff: Fixed the reservations for the room (finally) Need to start on Simon's jacket and detailing Need to finish Skyrider Need to finish Super-1 Need to repair Rider 1 And I now want to go to AX. For realz. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-05-21/anime-expo-to-host-voice-actor-toshihiko-seki Ok, enough of this. Back to work. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

1:41 am	I'm going to post now... It's been a while since I've posted normally, so I figure I'll do that now. Classes are winding down, and I honestly couldn't care less. A-kon is looming and things are still in planning stage. In terms of costumes, luckily I only have to make one for myself, which I hope will be some form of Simon. The rest is just modifications and repairs to other costumes. I'm still looking into getting the room situation worked out, seeing as some of the people I've been talking to have been flip-flopping on what they plan to do. Again, if you are in need of a room or don't want to room by yourself, I suggest hitting me up asap, preferably on AIM, so that we can talk. The sooner, the better. I wish I had something more interesting to report, but since the play ended... OH, RIGHT! I almost forgot. It would seem I've been nominated again for the Guild Award that I won last year for my performances in both the musical and the Christmas play that I did. As I've been somewhat informed, to win one of these things is kind of a big thing. I never really knew that, but I guess it's a good thing to know. As much as I'd like to do another show, I honestly need to just work and start saving and getting some things taken care of. On a lighter note, saw Baby Mama today; was ok. Probably not going to class except for Japanese. All for now. More later, hopefully. Current Mood: blah (8 Comments |Comment on this)
