tempestuously: ([not!kamui] what fools these mortals be)
Now for your aforementioned picspam post. I took too many pics so I'm separating this into cosplay and then meetups and crack.

Otakon 2009 Cosplay AKA Nayami is too damn picky about who she snaps photos of. )

I am lazy and passing out but wanted to share cosplay. Originally I was going to link these and provide awesome cuts, but just uploading them took several hours so yeah motivation died. Enjoy.

Today's CFUD apps made me think of the song Dana and I used to sing about Ted from Suikoden when the game first came out in the late 90s. We liked to call him Sparky. I can't, for the life of me, remember why. I think it was something about his hair or his personality or maybe Souleater itself. Unfortunately I can only remember one song verse, and the rest kind of trails off after that. "Here's a story of a boy named Sparky. And he had a very shiny rune. But this rune it was so evil, it ended his life real soon. It's a story of a bitch named Windy..." yeah that's all I got. There was some crap about Windy smoking grass and falling out of a window. I don't really think there was anything else to the diddy. We might have mentioned Tir somewhere in there, but we never really liked him. Now Viktor was the shit. Gremio wasn't so bad either.

I hate how half of the country singers have to sing about dating people in Mexico. I doubt half of them have ever been to Mexico.

I want to cosplay Lelouch for Katsu, but have no idea where to even begin on making his uniform. Dilemma.

[livejournal.com profile] quebelly, I forgot your safety pins at Tom's so I'll buy you a new set soon. I did bring back your ears and whoever's dogtags.

Back from Otakon. I dread catching up with LJ, among other things. Hung out with Tom, [livejournal.com profile] _argustar and [livejournal.com profile] crowphoenix and bought too much stuff. A full report and Nayami's attempt at photography tomorrow. Too tired now. Also managed to dig into both ankles with the back of my shoes without realizing it. Ruined a perfectly good pair of socks. Overall, the only minuses about Otakon I had this year were the disorganized and abitrary masquerade choices and the lines that never ended for VA autographs. I did get Vic though! He's darling!

Got random cosplay idea for next time: Ice Princess Sasuke. In my perfect vision, it's beautiful.

Also watched Destiny 43 with pals. I was cheering so loud that the fanboys walking by us had to stop and figure out what the heck I was looking at. Most recognized. Loved the Cagalli vs. Meer vs. Lacus radio sabotage extravaganza. Also loved the return of Seed!Asuran and Kira catching him as he plummeted out of the sky after achieving his goal of knocking that damn chip off SuperAce!Shinn's shoulder. Take that, flyboy! I think Cagalli's about to give Asuran a stern talking to about dashing off to battle when he's internally injured.

Tom needs to get more sleep, and William needs to stop playing World of Warcraft 24/7 and then telling us about it. Next time he does that, I'm telling him about all the things that I read about going on in the camp. He better not AIM me about it, thinking I have interest. That's scary.

Still need to figure out how I'm going to get work to give me a teensy weensy bit of time off so I can hit up the baseball game with the family tomorrow. Bad timing so close to Otakon and all.

And, [livejournal.com profile] crowphoenix, you forgot to get back your twenty so I'll have to send you one in the mail.
tempestuously: (nayami: zero_stupidity)
Need to find a clip or undershirt for Natsuo. Otherwise completely ready to go for Otakon. Planning to drive down to Tom's after work tomorrow. I hear others will be there. I'm less than pleased but I'll cope. Tom also wants to use public transporation. Something also a little less inviting for cosplayers like myself, especially ones with cat ears and tails. >< I also wish I could bring a prop gun. I like threatening Thomas with guns.

Still haven't had time to watch Destiny 43 yet since I've been dealing with multi-crisises this week. And the Sims I went through all my trouble to make beautiful have stupid face animations. Really really ugly. Destroy all my favorite cuddling scenes and such. Sim!Raoul and Sim!Ari are twenty times cuter than the Psychosis Sims. Could be because the whelps are still teenagers and adorable with their "going steady" and "first kisses."

In other news, I proposed to Haruka at the camp. Don't think she accepted. She prefers her Michiru. *is slighted* But I won't give up!

EDIT: To those parties concerned. Some advice for the future. If you are clearly in a more favorable position than I, please do not try to seek pity over something that I will obviously regard with cynicism. Have some tact if you wish me to remain pleasant.

EDIT 2: Tom mentioned that the crew at his place might be having FLOORFEST due to the lack of sleeping arrangements. Why does that sound so naughty?

Managed to recover Sims 2 and DDR Max from my little thief. But I can't prove that the fucker stole Final Fantasy X because he so happens to have owned a copy once upon a time. Bro says that the bastard asked if he could borrow FFX when he was over. Why someone would need to borrow a game that they already own is beyond me and more than a little suspicious. But as of now, it's just Bro's word against the hellspawn's so I lose. Bro has agreed to pay the $20 for the game.

In cosplay news, my ears suck and my Cagalli hair is unstyled and probably a widdle too long, but it will do. Once I buy the spray for Yayoi's ears and hair and Natsuo's tail, I'll be good to go. I would play the same game as half my friend's list and ask who's hitting Otakon, but since I already commented on most of the posts of people asking the same question, I'll skip it.

Thankfully I can watch Destiny 43 to calm my nerves. Oddly enough, Farscape episodes with [livejournal.com profile] quebelly helped too. I miss Talen. He was cute for a punk-ass bitch ship.

Found more artist journals to stalk and comment on for being cooler than me.
tempestuously: (iconz_kthx-franz is molesticious)
After the day of spazzery yesterday, I returned to [livejournal.com profile] quebelly's house and renewed my sewing extravaganza. Am almost completely done with Natsuo's outfit except for his eyepatch. I need to trim the hair for both Cagalli and Yayoi. For Cagalli, I ruined her pants beyond recognition and had to locate a new pair. Still need to find a waist pack, but if I can't I might just go without. Dana helped me make a crappy version of her necklace. Bet Tom still hasn't tracked down Asuran's jacket. I think Natsuo's tail turned out all right. Yayoi's tail has a good chance of falling apart if I don't sew the middle again. It's also too thick, and I'm too obsessive about these things.

I'm a redhead again. I feel more vivacious as a redhead than I do as a brunette. Red hair and violet eyes. Again, I look like the bastard offspring of my characters. For some reason, I think Dad likes my hair better red too. I was worried that it was going to turn out a fiasco after the blond didn't take properly.

Six Feet Under is worrying me tonight. I should have known they were going to push Brenda and Billy again. I think I like Nate better now than I have most of the season. Irony much. I want to like Claire for her liberal agenda, but she's so friggin' psycho that it's hard to take much of her. I like Ruth more now that she's being civil with George.

Don't know if final got through since every fax in the world was on the fritz today, the mouse decided to die halfway through printing and my entire parking lot was blocked off due to some event. The confirmation page says my stuff sent at 3:55 p.m. I'm going to guard that page with my life for when my professors try to tell me that I didn't complete the class requirements. Dad was pissed at me too. Said I should have finished everything earlier, regardless of the fact that I was dead tired and still tutored his son every day.

Went out for relief shopping and birthday shopping. Bought my brother a game and picked up a new memory card for my camera, Kyou Kara Maou 1 and Fullmetal Alchemist 3. While I have issues with Mona Marshall voicing the Wolfram, being that he sounds too whiny and not quite effeminate enough, I think that Yuuri's VA will make a splendid Sasuke in Naruto. I was hesitant because of his voice when he's freaked out or just in a jolly mood, but when he's snarking at Wolfram or when he's channeling the Maou, he is one badass man. He'll pull off the Avenger role without any trouble. I'm really looking forward to seeing, or rather, hearing him in action. In Marshall's favor, she may not be able to sound like Wolfram, but she is still a marvelous actor and portrays his moods with just the right amount of shock,rage and frustration. She always makes me laugh. But what's up with Conrart? That's just weird. I need to watch more recent KKM.

Also got my cosplay wigs. The one I need for Yayoi is too short, only slightly longer than my hair now. The Cagalli one will have to be trimmed. Both look really realistic and not as bizarre as the one I donned for Blue, who has an unnatural hair style anyway. Need to get Tom to tell me how the hell I'm supposed to get my ticket and finalize what I will be wearing and when. The Loveless cosplayers still haven't set a time, although they say they'll meet Sunday. This is going to be a repeat of the WR fiasco, isn't it? Why can't I ever run into the hardcore cosplayers? Even if I'm not in their category, it's still cool to be around them. You get association cred. For now the cosplay plan is:
-Friday: Yayoi--Loveless
-Saturday: Cagalli (GSeed civilian uniform)--GSeed/Destiny
-Sunday: Natsuo (sailor uniform)--Loveless

I need to start watching the FMA DVDs I buy. Now that I know that the FMA game has gone down in price, at least at Best Buy, I can buy that too.

I think I'm allergic to the artificial fur I decided to use for Loveless cosplay. Next time, screw authenticity, I'm picking up cotton. Spend a good chunk of today and yesterday working on cosplay. Correction, I spent most of my time bitching, sketching, and measuring, while [livejournal.com profile] quebelly did mostall of the sewing. I proved my incompetence early on, and I think she just wanted to avoid the spazfits I was sure to have when I fucked up my projects.

Cosplay Progress: )

Also watched some America's Next Top Model marathon and Brisco County Jr. I forgot how much I loved the music of that show, as well as Bowler and Comet, the horse.

Re-making Sim charas using weird programs since I didn't spend enough time on the faces and they all look stupid in profile shots.

Done my mini-break for now. I think it might have been in vain, but we'll see. I was extremely busy this week anyway with my job. I've been playing with Sims alterations again. Someone has to tell me a good site where I can find decent clothes for guys as well as decent hairstyles. I hate how girls have an infinite amount of choices but guys either look like prep rejects or stoners. I did manage to find some nifty Victorian clothes. After seeing how deliriously easy it is to alter clothes, I might attempt something with the Naruto children shortly. But I still don't want to make them without Sasuke's proper hair and not that stupid bowl cut all of the Sims-makers keep giving him.

I've had anime dreams for the past two nights in the row. This never happens to me and I have no idea what's bringing it on. Two days ago, I dreamed that I was watching dubbed Naruto. I can't even remember who was doing the voices, I just remember liking the Sasuke. Then last night I dreamed that I was watching an episode of Destiny and Kira was going bonkers. Asuran was still injured so he couldn't do much aside from pleading for Kira's sanity. But Cagalli rushed at Kira and tried to stop him. I think he cut her with something and she stumbled back. Then, it all gets blurry. I kinda remember her winning and Kira being sad and injured. What do these weird-ass predictions mean?

My aunt showed up around 10 a.m. today and was screeching for my father. I have no idea how she got into my house, but I believed she just walked in because she is disrespectful like that. I'm having a good talk with my father about allowing that madwoman to show up here and scream for him for ten minutes. I didn't even know where he was at the time.


Someone finally gave me an idea how to go about my Natsuo costume so I'm going to be spending most of the week working on that. I need to hijack a sewing machine.

OH, I forgot to mention that the child in the new Gravitation manga is the biggest badfic plot in the world. But because I'm so fixated on Six Feet Under right now, where Keith and David are trying to adopt some punk children, I'm less hateful to the idea as I should be. It would be nice if the kid didn't have to call Shuichi "mama" though.

Ugh, I need to take a shower after all that gardening.

No words for how much fun I had watching the camp last night. Best fictional birthday ever. Whether it was the alphabet orgy, the royal pair cuddles, the jedi/ninja threesome, or the Sasunarufest, it was all excellent.

Went shopping for cosplay makings today. Yayoi is almost complete. I obtained the fur for his ears and tail (Natsuo's too). The fabric people were really pushy about why I needed it. I guess most patrons of the store enjoy discussing their projects with the staff. I do have some questions for the few cosplay buffs on my list. I'm trying to make the sailor-type suit here and here. I have a basic white shirt to start with. How do I go about making the collar? Also, how do I add the red lining? I'm really excited about attempting alterations for the first time. Maybe next year, I can even try to actually make a costume next year.

Since the Greed plan crashed and burned due to my inability to find a vest to sew a fluffy collar onto. I'm leaning toward Cagalli from Gundam Seed, back when she ran around in her red shirt and cargo pants get-up. Frustrating since I've never done more than two costumes for a con.

I'm also trying to figure out why my laptop charger keeps dying. I've barely had this one for a few months and it is now useless. Anyone who has a laptop and can offer advice?

In random bitchery, Fox channel is a FUCKING BITCH for adding a warning to the episode of the Simpsons about same-sex marriage. Though I think there should be a warning for Homer making out with himself.
tempestuously: (nayami [base by _wonderland]: harmony)
Still want game.

Waaah, only one ep of Loveless left. *flails around dramatically like Yayoi* Why can't I get more translations why? And it looks like Seimei's coming back. No, it can't end now when the chaos is going to reach its zenith. Must hunt down this Zero-Sum and order all the back issues past Loveless volume 5. Must know who Ritsuka's Fighter is, must know Seimei's true identity, must know if Soubi's going to crack. Stupid anime people, how can you take away something I love so much? *breaks into Hitomi-like sobs*

On that note, how come Warless had to be place HERE? It was a cute episodes and great for character development, but it does not deserve to be situated right before the end episode. This required a plot-driven episode. Not fluff. Everybody was so zany and half of the events were whacked-out fantasies. I could have used some concrete information. All I got is that Kio's in chill mode now, Hitomi has way too many issues to go into, and that Soubi is awfully sure of himself. And Ritsuka's a fluff. I love Ritsuka. He has the same angsty characteristics of so many main characters, but he manages to grow too. The butterfly symbolism made me smile. Soubi too. It's so sad that the lonely hearts Yayoi and Kio must find peace in each other's arms. XD I need to make an icon of that. Maybe "The heart is a lonely hunter."

Comments on [livejournal.com profile] raburesu make me reconsider my second cosplay choice. I really want to do Natsuo because he's such a fun character, and I would get to lug around a teddy and an eyepatch. But Natsuo deserves his Youji and since the chances of making Tom play dress up with me are very slim when it comes to cat ears, tails, and long blond-green hair, I think I'm out of luck. I'm thinking about just chucking that idea and going for Kio. Might have to get some fake hoop studs since Kio is far more pierced than me. Also requires an extra wig and I'm starting to doubt that my hair is long enough for Yayoi's so it could get fun when it comes to financials. I could always roam about with a lollipop or a piece of pocky or any of those other edibles Kio has a fixation with. Need to also find me some glasses. Too bad Kio probably won't get recognized since he lacks kitty ears. I either need stalking binoculars or a big sign calling Sou-chan a pervert.

EDIT: WANT THIS GAME!!!
And in case any of you assuming bullies think "Oh wolves, boring, Nayami," I'll have you know that X-Play recommends this like crazy. It's one of the most original gaming concepts out there.

Well, most of the stuff is packed, and it only took two hours. All that's left is the larger electronics (TV and VCR), and most of my food. Tom and I are going to have real fun cleaning out the refrigerator. I think I'll just toss most of my stuff. Managed to toss most of the school stuff this time around, which is impressive since I'm one of the biggest pack rats, I know. Worried about removing the posters, especially the one Tom made me (y'all should remember that one). I doubt I'll be able to fit either the smaller FMA or Furuba's in my room, and I doubt Kira/Asuran will fit on my ceiling. I might have to be retiring that one. I have a smaller Kira/Asuran to make up for it. As for the Kaiba, let's hope Nikki enjoys company in the storage room since that's the only wall big enough for it.

Being the lazy lay-about that I am, I'm going to start working on cosplay next week. Checking out various wigs for Greed and still deciding whether I'll use my normal hair for Yayoi and Natsuo. Long-haired wigs are expensive and styling is not Nayami's friend. Need to look into ways to streak the tips of Yayoi's hair. And the kitty ears, that's going to be an exercise in madness. I need to find someone crafty to help me out with that one. Tail's going to be fun too. Thankfully, already have something close to Yayoi's. For Greed, I'm still deciding whether I want to do the claws.

I now understand Kim and Mura's frustration with the Loveless fangirls. It must hurt to watch your beloved series being cheapened by a bunch of braindead ninnies who can do nothing but proclaim Ritsuka and Soubi's tru wuv. Good thing I avoid the fandom for the most part. That reminds me that Loveless will soon be over and I'll be without English translations forever more. *SADNESS* I was hoping that the popularity of the anime would give manga translators some new blood and new motivation. Come on, people faithfully cover Naruto and FMA. You Loveless gals need to get off your asses and give me my underaged kitty pron PRONTO!

The displacement I've been feeling while checking up on teh camp has now cleared up thanks to some encouraging words.

Hope I get to chat with the YamiKai clan today.

Ventured here thanks to a post by [livejournal.com profile] guardian_yugi and although the interpretations of the Heritage posse sucks, the Psychosis ones (except for Nicky) were almost disturbingly accurate.

I guess I chose the Psychosis names for a reason )

And just for fun, the horrid Naruto interpretations )
