I went to PAX with ~afreak, ~Cadychan and another friend of ours. Unfortunately we weren't there for the whole weekend since we got there late on friday, but we really enjoyed ourselves with what we got.

~Cadychan and I went to check out this amazing "Women in Gaming" panel, which presented some interesting points, and found out after that ~afreak went and got a bunch of free spoils. Which, was our next objective but everyone ran out of nearly everything.

So we went shopping.

And man, does my wallet hate me.

Let's see. I went home with a lot of OniPress goodies (Scott Pilgrim, mostly, but the artist for NorthWorld was also there and it sounded really good, so why not)... a Mario magnet, a shirt from Behemoth Games, a Photoshop Hero Tshirt and a PAX09 shirt. I'm slightly annoyed over the last two Tshirts because they had run out of small *AND* medium Tshirts; so I suffered with Large, which fits loosely so it's not THAT bad. Unfortunately the guy gave me an XL PAX Tshirt. *facepalm*... mind you, the fit is better than most of the Large "one size fits all gamers" promotional Tshirts which are probably going to my brother. Except for the "If This Tshirt Doesn't Smell Then I'm Not Gaming Enough" one because even though it's big I like it not that I smell, but maybe it'll prove a point to those who ask me why I don't have time to play video games

Lots of free goodies, too. I didn't get to play a lot because work was being a wanker for all of us so we didn't get down there until 7:30 friday night, when registration was CLOSED. But, I did play/see games like Muramasa (fffff so pretty), Blazblue, Fate/Stay on the PSP, Dungeon Fighter (I want this game)... and got promo codes for other Beta games for when I do have time like Dofus. I keep hearing that Dofus/Wakfu isn't that great, but ~gueuzav is one of the artists for it and I've been meaning to play it for forever. To say the least, it wasn't as enriching as I wanted to be since I haven't been as hardcore as I was a couple years back and I felt a little ashamed for that ;;; and a good half of the con was PC gaming, which I haven't gotten into as much. This is because I've had computers that weren't powerful enough... but speaking of which, I've gotten a better computer which means I'll *finally* get to play TF2 and Portal and the like sooner than I thought.

Saturday night/sunday I felt a cold coming on, which I've largely avoided but it left me feeling rather lethargic. We left early because of that, and, it was mostly con leftovers at that point anyways. So, we went shopping at Fry's 8D I didn't buy much, but I went home with The Triplets of Belleville. I didn't know it was hanging out on DVD around here, so I was quite happy to find it :> as well as single coloured radioactively turquoise M&M's... which... I bought purely for the strange nature of it. OTL

Also, I am getting a cellphone plan for next year so that I can actually roam without my service being a douchebag. *sigh*

As for artings, I ended up with another non-relevant full time job, so again I wound up with next to no time for it. It's such a vicious cycle-- I need free time to make something impressionable to GET a good job, but in order to get sufficient free time I need to have enough money to GET ME THROUGH. I'm not trying to be negative, because I will make it happen sooner or later. But in the meantime, finishing commissions comes first before I do anything personal for this year as well as doing other things for my sanity and spending time with ~afreak



TLDR;
I want to live at PAX, Americaland is a land of strange things (and food I shouldn't be touching with a 10ft pole), I need to win the lottery because I am so broke-ass poor right now, and I must focus on insanity and 4 hours of sleep a night to drawr moar.

Lately I've been pushing myself to get rid of that god awful long list of things I have to do. I've had some free time lately, which is KINDA not a good thing, but it also kinda is. Haha, I also should be drawing, but to-do lists irritate me to no end, and I think I will stop buying and borrowing material.

Anywho! My life has been somewhat eventful. In the past couple of weeks, it has been deemed that I can drive safe enough on the roads without running over anyone or unintentionally playing bumper cars by myself. They don't trust me completely, though, so I'm only allowed one passenger.

Also, the Celebration of Light, a yearly fireworks competition is in Vancouver I went to the first one, and intentionally went to the second one... ... except the beach weather turned to rain and thunder. I really wanted to stay, but we were also pretty convinced that the fireworks would be cancelled for safety reasons. We went to chill at a friends' place and played cardgames and what not, and while we were doing that... I noticed this VIBRANT orange sky in the background. Really amazing colour. Have a youtube vid for proofs.

(see, it really went from beach day to rainy day)

In the end, the fireworks still went on. I was pretty sad to have missed it, because I was really looking forward to watching South Africa to compete. Not to mention my beach day was ruined! D; The fireworks were also pretty amazing, especially because there was lightning in the background. Well, I'm not totally sad; I still had fun at my friends' place, and I could still see the fireworks on youtube. Not as great as actually going, but it works.

You should also watch it. It's pretty cool.

Anyways, all I'm doing is babbling. I finished Runemarks. It was a pretty good book. And I will get to some drawings, because drawings are needed. Like my comics. Hurr. Maybe I'll be able to draw in this heat, maybe not. It's 30c here, and I'm enjoying it *_* even though I'm not motivated to do much... haha.

Err, I really should be spamming with art. This is my umpteenth June update. Sorry, guys I promise after this that I shut up and share moar art.

I was recently discussing Chrno Crusade with ~Kakiri... and basically reliving why I liked that anime so much. Not as much as Matantei Loki, nooo. But Chrno Crusade was pretty well done, IMO. This may also be because I really like things from earlier in the 1900's and stuff. I liked their cars, their architecture... the movies and music were absolutely amazing and *very* tastefully done. I blame this on my parents for being so oldschool.

Anyways, I made a music video for Chrno Crusade way back when. Its debut was at Anime Evolution 2004, and probably the only time you would have seen it on the big screen. I was pretty ecstatic because I didn't think I would make the cut, but it did. It was the first one that aired, too. I'm too busy to make any more, plus I'd rather be focusing on doing my original stuff. Har har har.

I recommend not watching it if you have not seen the anime and do not want spoilers.

Saw The Hangover with a friend today. Hilarity ensued. After the movie I got a text message from my sweetheart telling the news of Michael Jackson's passing. To be honest, I didn't know what to think-- I wasn't a major follower, nor was I a huge fan, but I did like his music. He's had a poor image in recent years, too. But because his impact was so large, I couldn't help but feel saddened over it regardless. It was pretty shocking. It's sad that Farrah Fawcett passed away too, but we knew it was going to happen soon.

To insinuate just how large MJ's impact was, I think this was the fastest that news had traveled worldwide. Ok, Princess Diana's may have been faster, but I was young and didn't remember it at all. But seriously, everyone I knew already knew, except for my friend who had just come out of the movie with me, haha.

Anyways, Cartoon Brew pulled up some animated Michael Jackson related stuff that you may appreciate.

I'm surprised at the animation quality of the Simpsons way back when. What happened nowadays??

Also, Michael Jackson to the Lucky Star opening.

AE 2009 Artist's Alley

What a weekend! I gotta say, it was an extremely crazy busy convention. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by! ;_;~~

... I didn't even get to go shopping ;A;!! People went to get food for me, even. I didn't have much time to chat with everyone. I was only able to see them briefly... except for =crazys and ~Cadychan due to them being my table buddehs and bumming in a hotel with =crazys. Even ~CrowMaiden and ~heyraynie were too far ;;; I did take 5 minutes to run and buy a couple of prints from Kidchan, though, since one of my friends were awesome and took over and erased the pencils on an inked commission.

This week is gonna be a busy week. Finishing up commissions, and fixing up my super lame portfolio website... which in the end, didn't have a link to my DeviantArt account D: I did not realize this until now. The business cards that I gave out (and didn't have a single one left of) had my portfolio website on it. Total fail on my behalf.

Unfortunately that's only 20% of my to-do list D: maybe less. I can't rest, so I gotta keep pushing forward.
