Yeah, yeah, I know. I haven't updated in a couple months. Things came up. I got fired from my job for breaking a register, so time was being spent on job hunting. I started up on a couple new projects that are now on hold because of the current situation.

Long story short - I'm moving. Until I get to my new place and am somewhat stable again, I won't be very active. My destination is going to be Bremen, IN. I'm moving in with someone I know there, and I'll likely have a job opportunity. Plenty of new places to put my name out to.

Wish me luck.

I should post this here, too. This will be sort of a cross-post from my regular blog. In fact, it /is/ directly copy and pasted from the blog. Because I am that lazy. But I will make links and stuff.

Saturday

The ride that was supposed to take me and Raine to SacAnime overslept, so we ended up walking. The directions Google Maps gave us was highly inaccurate, thus having us have to walk all the way around the Cal Expo center, over the freeway…it was a 5 mile walk. And my backpack was heavy because it had my tail and other things in it. But…we made it there. Then, there was the long line for registration. After getting in line, we saw a girl with this sign that said, “You just lost the game.” Fffffuuuuu-…. Oh, we also saw someone cosplaying Ruki Nonaka from Digimon Tamers, and there was someone with a Gomamon plush. …and pedobear wanted hugs.

Anyway, after registration, we checked out the dealer’s room and artist’s alley. Then, we had lunch. The place had a good deal, too. All you can eat sandwiches, soup, pizza, and salad, dessert, and drinks for $10. We then went to the ATM to take out money for the dealer’s room, to find out that it was out of order. So we tried going to CostCo to use theirs. It was out of service, too. And, the nearest place that had an ATM after that — would have been too far to walk.

Though, fortunately, some of the dealers took credit cards. So, I bought a Shaymin (Sky Forme) plush and a figurine (which I found out I have to assemble myself), and eventually took a break to sit down. During this break, I saw a girl cosplaying as Ness. Also I found that my regular camera’s batteries died (thanks for telling me beforehand, camera), and my phone was running low. In fact, I was /barely/ able to get a picture of said girl, and it didn’t come out too well. So hopefully, I’ll see her again tomorrow for a retake — with my camera that should have fully charged batteries by then.

Other than that, I just traded DeviantArt info, and left some grafitti in someone’s sketchbook (hey, the sign requested it!). I gave ‘em my e-mail, dA name, and a link to ParaBound.

Sunday

Sunday morning, I got my camera working properly, which was good because I wasn’t about to rely on my phone with its low battery life. Oh, I brought my Eee with me to the con to use as supplemental power. Upon arriving at the Radisson, Raine went to Subway to get a sandwich, and I decided to wait on getting food. I headed to the dealer’s room, and found @jhicks, who was running the Little Vampires booth. I bought a pin from him that said “low on whimsy”.

After that, I went back to the hallway to meet up with Raine and another Digimon fan. We talked a bit about Digimon and a MUCK we’re working on. We also saw someone cosplaying as Beetlejuice. Someone would say “Beetlejuice” three times, and he would “attack” them. He was quite amusing. I also encountered a guy wearing an EarthBound t-shirt. It’s nice meeting a fellow MOTHER fan.

I then headed to the artist’s alley to look at more artwork and leave more “graffiti” in notebooks. I also tried out an engine demo of a game called Helicopter Beast Freak. Went back into the dealer’s room, and actually got someone to draw a picture of one of my characters on a Pokémon MUCK. To kill time while she was doing my commission, I tried out another game on display in the artist’s alley whose name escapes me — it was using the MUGEN system and had all sorts of superheroes in it. I also bought a Tails plush from the dealer’s room. I sat down in the lobby to relax, and check on the Internet with my Eee while charging my phone. I then headed to Extreme Pizza for dinner. After getting the picture of Mizu, I just stayed and chatted with *MiakaLin until it was time to leave.

My overall opinion of the con? It was fun. It gave me a chance to get out of the house. My biggest complaint would be the overcrowding in the hallway, where they had the artist’s alley. They probably could have put that in a more open area. Other than that, I had fun. I’m looking forward to the next con I go to.

Anything Else

For those that are concerned, I know, I am severely slacking on the next chapter of Kitsurian Chronicles. Sorry. Things came up. I am hoping to, like, get some more chapters cranked out during the week. Since I am still unemployed, I should have no excuse for not catching up on my projects. These projects include: Doing something for Kitsune Paradise's 5th anniversary, a Digimon MUCK, ParaBound, a Digimon Fanfic, and Kitsurian Chronicles. There's probably a couple more, even. But I will get around to it.

okay, so chapter two's posted. it would have been done earlier if i wasn't so lazy and sick. but it's done. and i got a whole five days to do chapter three (if i keep my ass in gear, it will take me less time, and i will have more done). hopefully, i can get myself on a set schedule to upload two a week - on tuesdays and thursdays.

I have finally posted chapter one of Kitsurian Chronicles. Finally. And I am starting work on chapter two. Woohoo!

On another note, check out ~RumpNissen's work. He's a pretty good artist, and one of his stories has a race that shares the same name as this story. Neat coincidence. ^^'

it's been a month since i posted and said i am going to do stuff. yes, i am still going to do stuff. i got motivation and inspiration now. hopefully i'll have something done within the next couple weeks. stay tuned.
