Free Comic Book day

Free Comic Book day, it was a few weeks ago now, but I have only just started blogging about it now, why?

Because I procrastinate, and that mixed in with being busy topped off with melted cheese, whoo boy that turns out to be a lethal concoction on the ol' John late at night.

Anyway, we were off to go to the anime convention, Animania, my dear friend Courtney and I, when we paused out front of the comic book shop, 'Pulp Fiction' We noticed that there was some face painting, and balloons, and being the mature adults we are, rushed in to see if we could obtain some free balloons, and to our sheer delight we found a shelf of free comic books to take, of course it was two per person, but ah it was oh so enjoyable.

This one in particular caught my eye:

MAINTENANCE! THE STORY OF TWO MAINTENANCE GUYS!!
Oh yeah was an awesome read. They went back in time somehow and met these cavemen who wanted practical things from the future, but the scientist kept giving them guns and lasors, all they wanted was some soap and perhaps a good ol' DVD for them to watch while they sit at home in their caves.

Is that too much to ask?

See now if my maintenance guy did that, I would give him a free soda, cause I am too cheap to give him anything else.


and just cause I can a picture of me and my friend in our cosplay, its a POSE folks, so don't go all aghast and faint as you flutter your dainty fans.

Well, that's all I have to say today really, so I shall bid you all farewell, unless I get bored and type up another entry today~

A nee mah nee ahhh ohh neyennne

Animania 09

This was the first year Animania decided to go to adelaide, it claimed to be the 'biggest' anime convention, yet it was lucky to crack 500 people through the door, when good ol' Traditional AVCON was in the 5,000's.

FYI: they are anime and gaming conventions, if you don't know what anime is then go google it, my laziness has taken a strangle hold over my brain cells now.

Anyway, today I am tired, my nails are bright yellow, as are my feet. Why do you ask? God, you all ask a lot of questions don't you? Or perhaps I'm just disillusioned and so self absorbed that I assume that questions are being asked, or perhaps I'm a tad bit crazy and have created imaginary friends who ask the questions.

Point of the matter is I got to cosplay as my oh so favorable geekdom fangasm lovable Rin.
I love her oh so dandy shandy much, she is totally the Bee's knees, as is Len. My buddy Courtney Cosplayed as Len, but unfortunately our costumes weren't quite ready, so us being the 'put stuff together at the last minute' kinda girls ended up with costumes like this:

which I think is pretty goodly since we started off with well, just the wigs. I honestly love Rin and Len as the Vocaloids. Seriously I suggest looking up the following videos IN ORDER (because its a story folks, can't watch the ending before the begining)

Daughter of Evil
Servant of Evil
Message of Regret
Re_Birthday

its such a sad tale, but rather than write about it yall can watch it, why? Because I'm lazy that's why, I can't be bothered typing it all in again. I am so manly, I shed manly man tears of manliness after watching a whole bunch of varied Vocaloud Videos.

That's right real men cry, but we don't shed tears of saltine water, we shed tears of beer, because beer is manly.

Next month, when my internet resets I'll post up a video of an awesome guy named Brandon (not my fiance' a different Brandon) singing a song, a tale of Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

Ciao~

PS I so tackled and licked a Sailor Saturn Cosplayer, I love her long time.
So if you are reading this my Shandy Dandy Shaandel baycakes, I miss you already.
same to you my lucious Len~
