I was just offered a full-time position with my second job, after working months of multiple jobs to finish paying down all my commercial debt. I’m really blown away, and it’s kinda nice to have someone actually thank me for SOMETHING [work-related] after busting my ass all year. Nicer to know I actually work somewhere [...]

You’ve sat through parts 1-3. This is it! The official Otakon 2010 Convention Report, through my old tired eyes. Otakon was a big deal for me this year. Even if it was my very last Otakon, it was still the first time I got a real chance to be around people (aside from work) and [...]

No matter how wrong, awkward, or crazy things may get at Ota[con], it’s always nice to be at Ota[con], if only to see old friends. There’s seemingly always this overwhelming sensation of welcome back, like a family reunion. People, vendors, cosplayers, friends you may not have seen in years will never be far behind and [...]

Anime Conventions, huh? What can I say that Team XP’s book already hasn’t? I’ve been going to anime conventions since 2004. My 1st was Otakon. I [honest to goodness] can’t remember a damn thing about that show (even though I‘ve got a whole freaking cache of swag from it), but I know it compelled me [...]

So, as far as my writing goes lately, I’ve started noticing a bothersome trend; 1 – Things I Excel At: Having the most interesting (albeit equally complicated) existence imaginable. 2 – Things I’m Good At: Writing about the crappier byproduct(s) of my life’s many complications. 3 – Things I [Constantly] Exceed At: Long stretches of [...]

I’m writing this post because I cannot possibly contain the sheer awesome that just exploded in the last 10 mins. So I’m at the train stop (we call it a ‘Light Rail’ here in Baltimore/Baltimore County), waiting for my ride, and I kick on my wireless headphones. A song comes on that I’m feeling emmensly [...]

The Final Otakon

by Dark Angel July 2, 2010

So I made the decision to make this Otakon [2010] my absolute, very last Otakon. EVER. An ending I will never change. No ‘just going backs to say hi’ or ‘last minute do-overs’. No ‘guest spots/speaking’ or ‘publicity stunts’. This is the end boys & girls. Don’t get me wrong. I love Otakon as much [...]

How To Find Things [Quote]

by Dark Angel June 26, 2010

“I have no recollection whatsoever of where I put the gun. When I try to think back I feel only a haze of drugged-out exhaustion. I decide to try a Prof. Marmoset trick. According to Prof. Marmoset, you should never bother trying to remember where you put something. You should just imagine needing to put [...]

I Don’t Need Religion – Go Hump A Bible

by Dark Angel June 26, 2010

This is one of those post where 1) my opinion is law, 2) we didn’t take time to research and wrote this on the fly, 3) subjects encompassed are of category I actually try to talk about with friends (as opposed to writing), like this lady [we'll call her "A"], and 4) you don’t have [...]

No Cameras Here

by Dark Angel June 25, 2010

So a while ago, I wrote a post about how I thought I’d lost my camera. Turns out this time, I actually have. From everything I’ve been able to piece together, I happened to be at my school’s computer lab and rushed out to catch my ride; leaving my camera behind in the process. It [...]
