Weekend Update: Anime, A-Kon, etc
So, last week I spent a LOT of time watching anime and getting sewing done. Finished the regency stays, too. Yay! Let's see. What all anime did I end up watching during Shaun's stay?
Full Metal Alchemist, plus OVA
Full Metal Panic, Seasons 1 and 2
Generator Gawl
R.O.D. (aka Read Or Die)
Whee! Fun, fun. Shaun leaves tomorrow evening, so we'll be finishing up R.O.D. tonight. I fully expect to be exhausted in the morning.
Saturday was a full, fun day. We started the day out pretty early (for a Saturday) and headed into down town Dallas to go to A-Kon. We got there in plenty of time to find good parking and the line was relatively short. Hooray! Mostly I go to A-Kon to people watch, and there seemed to be quite a few good costumes this year. Tons of bad costumes, but some good ones, too. I got to spend a little time with my sister and some of her friends, and I saw a few of my cousins (Conrad, Liana, Tanya, Trevor). We also caught the music videos, too.
One of these times I'll make it to the cosplay, if for nothing else simply to see what it's all about, since I really have no idea. I kind of imagine it like LARP on stage maybe? Except they're acting out the characters?
I also picked up Witch Hunter Robin and Matt got RahXephon, so there are still many days to come of anime even after Shaun leaves. That just means I'll get more sewing done and not as much WoW time. Heh.
That's it for now - my reports just finished, so back to work for me!
