Some Oofuri stuff - look, I finally made a Tajima icon!
I have a problem.
I'm definitely going to cosplay Mihashi for the convention I'm going to next month - today I ran out and bought shoes at Pay-Less that resembled cleats, as I'm not sure if I can wear real cleats inside a convention hall. I've found a jersey I can easily customize into a Nishiura High one (I'll even draw the '1' on the back the way Tajima did), and I've got pretty much everything else I need within reach (i.e. on Amazon.com).
What's my problem, you ask? Well, I'm going to order a wig so I can style the hair to look like Mihashi's, as my hair is a bit too long right now (even though I wear it pretty short). The issue is that I can't decide exactly what color his hair actually is.
It looks like a light brown, doesn't it? At other times, though, it looks more reddish, and at still other times it's closer to blonde. I can't find a wig that matches the color perfectly. If anyone knows where I can get a Mihashi wig, please let me know. I'd love you forever.
In other news, Brandon Moss! I don't feel like talking about Santana right now because, as I've said before, he makes me nervous. (clings to the prospects possessively) It still looks like he's going to the Mets, which wouldn't bother me at all (and which is one of my two best-case scenarios, the other one being Santana staying in Minnesota). If you care, here's an article from MLB.com on the Mets' involvement, and here's another one on Santana in general. I'd personally rather hear about Brandon Moss. I'm growing tired of the Santana stuff. I've lost sleep over it before, and thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.
Oh, and I discovered some total crack on YouTube. It's called Marisa Stole the Precious Thing, and it's based on a series of games called Touhou Project. I really don't know what to say about this:
More interestingly, there is a version starring Fumiki (the left fielder) of Oofuri:
Okay, I'm done now. And seriously, if anyone finds a good Mihashi wig, link me! I need it by Spring Training - I'm going to the convention that first weekend!
EDIT: I think I've got one. If you find a better one, though, please let me know! I just ordered the rest of my costume off of Amazon.com...
EDIT 2: If the Mets can hammer out a contract within 48 to 72 hours, Santana is theirs! Woohoo!
EDIT 3: MLB.com confirms this story. Victory is Pawtucket's! (gives Jed Lowrie a huge hug)
EDIT 4: Speaking of Pawtucket, here's a link from Boston.com so you can see exactly what we didn't lose. I talked to my parents - my father was a bit disappointed about losing Carlos Gomez - but this trade should hopefully help them out.
