Sometimes I remember to update this thing. Yet most of the time I remember and then do not actually post. My life is not really all that interesting. :D
Anyway I am all set for London Expo in May. Hotel is booked, ticket has been bought, cosplay is sorta coming together, if I can only get the damn shoes. Poor unhobbityhobbit having to listen to me rantabout my misadventures with shoes on ebay.! But! I am bound and determined to get them to complete my Belgium as Little Red Riding Hood cosplay. So that is that.
In other news I bought the Rebuild of Evangelion movies (1&2) and rewatched them this weekend and AAAAAGH OMG. It's sort of weird thinking that when I watched these as a suicidal 12 year old and found a kindred soul in Shinji, I didn't really realise just how horrific the entire situation is, given how mired in depression he was. That Hideaki Anno wrote the series when he was depressed makes perfect sense. Watching the Rebuild, everyone's more open, talkative and less grim, despite being in the same situation. Even Shinji is more upbeat. Somehow I feel it's a perfect metaphor for hanging on in there and it eventually getting better. Hope paying off, 20 years later, I guess.
