Wow. Just...wow. This expo was awesome. So was VGL.

I got up at 6:15 for the expo on saturday morning. The earliest I've got up in ages, but hell, it was worth it. I got all my stuff together and got to the station by 7. The whole load of us proceeded to go totally mental and fangirly (I was the only boy there, and it's a well-known fact that I'm a ( Read more... )

So I've finally decided to get myself an FF game. As in from a shop, rather than the second-hand copy I have of FF7. Buying FF3 was a sort of rite of passage that I've been way too late in taking. Here's my thoughts about it ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to the Tokyopop Re:Con event at Blackwells. It was fun, but that was mostly due to seeing Nat and Beth and people. The event itself was alright - there was nothing wrong with it. But methinks I need to get into manga a bit more to fully enjoy it. Nat joint-won the cosplay competition along with a Supergirl cosplayer - Dagger, she ( Read more... )

I'm starting to worry now, ALL the exams so far, apart from 2, have been easy. Does this mean I'm a genius, that I've had good fortune with the exams, or that I don't know much at all and have just been under the illusion that I've been doing well ( Read more... )

Had my last normal maths exam today. Now I've only got further maths, computing and physics exams left. I've got computing tomorrow morning, so in my infinite wisdom I told my boss that yes, I'll do the overtime tonight that he asked me to do. At least I understand pretty much all the computing stuff anyway. If it was physics, THEN I'd be screwed ( Read more... )

Must get this stupid song out of my head... It's the song that's apparently from the end of some anime, and it's one of the rare anime dances which doesn't involve explosions or giant robots, so otaku cosplayers love it. It's like normal music, sung in Japanese, but then infused with pure sugar, caffeine, and energy sweets. Then again, most J-pop ( Read more... )

The Saturday approacheth! I can't wait! I'm probably gonna buy loads of useless stuff that'll never see the light of day after I get back. I've checked and all of my Guybrush costume is still complete, so I can still look like a flooring inspector. Yay for cosplay and expo and everything! Can't wait! First ever masquerade! And meeting Dagger will ( Read more... )

Wednesday. I went to see Spidey 3 with Julie. That. Film. Is. Awesome. What wasn't awesome is that Martin decided that he wanted to intrude in any way possible, so he gave Julie a lift home despite the fact that my mum was taking me to her place anyway to pick up my school bags and stuff. Wish he'd grow up and let her see other people without him ( Read more... )

Woah, I've had 4 days of non-postage. Time for a brief summary ( Read more... )

Fairly average day today. I got the soundtracks of Monkey Island 3 and 4 off the interwebs. My mum wanted to pick my sister up from work (she was waitressing for her friend's granddad's birthday party), and I needed to get my Dad a birthday card/present for tomorrow so I tagged along and we went via Tesco. Pity I don't have a discount yet (I don't ( Read more... )
