Fiddle-Dee-Dee, Said Scarlett

Death to the uterus!

I'm stuck in bed today with women's problems. But I've got an awesome Stephen King lineup on SyFy, plenty of porn to write and the ambition to write it, and possibly take out food. Not a bad way to spend a day sick in bed, as far as I'm concerned.

I've been pretty sick, so I've mostly been just medicated and in bed. And writing. And reading fic and watching AMVs. Still trying to get pictures uploaded from con, too! Photobucket and my internet connection don't much like each other, sadly, so it's slow going. Here are a couple, though!

Con-nichiwa is absolutely wonderful so far!

Yesterday I stayed in my Haruka cosplay until around 7:30, when I changed into the lolita outfit I brought with me. I finally got to wear my music note JSK! I think that's one of the longest I've kept my entire costume on, at least in a 24 hour period. And despite having to bare-bind with duct tape, it wasn't that bad. And I was recognized! Not just by Vic Mingona, either. I even had a girl scream 'HARUKA-KUN!!!!!!!' across the pool garden and then run and glomp me. Politely, though! And she was very careful of my staff!

Speaking of...Yeah, my staff is super awesome. I cannot thank nijawial enough for making it for me! It keeps getting mistaken for Miroku's staff from a distance, because of the rings, but that's always amusing.

We've got our Con Friends already. Austin (who for most of the day was Curly Haired Checkered Shirt Guy) and Vice Captain Thirteen. I...still can't remember his actual name. And he can't pronounce the name of the character he's cosplaying. But he's awesome, and totally bit Muu-chan in the Circle K. Muu-chan defended herself well, as she practically cracked a tooth with her eye. It was hilarious.

And my other half ran into a couple of her friends, who we hung out with last night. And who are going to let me try on some of their costumes today, so I can have another costume! We went out to dinner at an amazing Italian place a couple of miles from the hotel, and it was really nice. Amazing food, great company, lots of con hilarity. I was in lolita and Danni's friends were in cosplay. But it looked like we matched anyway.

Vic Mingona panel yesterday was awesome, as usual. Halfway through it broke into a teleplay of The Empire Strikes Back with him doing his Darth Vader impression and having an audience member supply Luke's lines. He was hilarious and energetic as always, and I remembered my Tactics pencil board! I brought it up for the signing and he went nuts. He took it and gasped: 'TACTICS! You know Tactics! ....where did you get this?!?!?'. Which most people were asking. And were kind of blown away by the fact that it came from Japan. Which is kind of bizarre, since it's an anime con, but most folks here have never been to a con before.

Vic was also nuts over the homemade Muu-chan plushie Danni (Sasuke, my girlfriend) made. He had to get a picture himself. And he signed it for her, which is awesome!

What else? Oh, dealer's room is pretty unimpressive as far as I'm concerned, save for artists alley. I may look there again. And possibly buy another print from Adriana McGraw (the artist director and the amazing artist I squeed with yesterday and who is doing me a watercolor portrait of my OTP!), because her art is amazing. But the actual dealers are all the same ones I always see, with the same merchandise. And the doujinshi had been picked through pretty cleanly. Not that I expected much luck, the fandom I'm into has practically no doujinshi, but there are a couple. And I have snagged some Xenogears and awesome rare pairing FMA douj at cons. I should look again today....

That's all I can think of for now! We've got some awesome pics, but I need to find my camera cord before I can get them up. BUT THEY WILL BE POSTED! I looked awesome as Haruka. :D
