Questing

Dreaming the Impossible Dream since 1997

August28

*Meeps at her new icon.* Got it at the convention, Robert DeJesus drew me for it, its sooo cute, made me squee with glee all day. I actually wore those kitty ears almost the whole con. We have pictures to prove it. And, it’s cool, I threw on that red scarf last minute to go with my Fluffalope Factory T-Shirt.

Sorry it’s blurry, took a pic of it with my camera, because I’m not near a scanner. I’ll likely update it later. It makes me happy though.

Had a nice birthday dinner last night, Hubby took me to Red Lobster, where we feasted on lobster and cheesy biscuits, and root beer, and talked about how over harvesting our oceans for McFish sandwiches and the like is having a major impact on fishing communities, and eventually our fish prices here in the states. Guess we’re taking too much of Mother’s Bounty, and the fish just can’t keep up.

Then we headed over to EBgames and picked up Soul Caliber 2 for Xbox, weeee. It’s fun, looks nice, plays nice, has tons to unlock. Doesn’t have that sense of awe that came with SC1 for Dreamcast. But that was such a graphical leap from Soul Edge, that every moment with the game produced a sense of wonder. I miss that. But, taken on it’s on SC2 seems like it’s going to be the party game of choice, after Halo, of course.

We’re planning Haloween 2 already, Halloween lands on a Friday this year, yah! So, start working on costumes. you’re more than welcome to come visit for it! Also, Kotor has convinced my husband to pick up the Star Wars role-playing system. hmmm

anime iowa

August25

Let’s see.

Friday we had wonderful breakfast at the Blue Plate diner, and headed out to cedar rapids for anime Iowa.
Our Zine’s look great and we sold over 30!!!

We checked in and set up our table in the artist alley. We got to hob nob with lots of great artists, and friends from college (like Marshaus), and while we spent most of the time in the artist alley, I didn’t really feel like I missed too much.

I watched a tiny bit of anime, Please Teacher, but mostly just hang out with the gals from Kumate Works and and and Ace and . What great people to spend my birthday weekend with. The art party was also awesome, several hours of jamming on impromtumanga, doodling, and talking to lots and lots of artists. Next year We are going to host the art party, we have all sorts of schemes…. mu ha ha.

bought me a whole set of WALKING WIND UP SUSHI!!!! so awesome!!! and K&M helped pay my reg fee and took me out for lunchies.

Early Morning, off to anime Iowa.

August22

It’s early, watching my husband get ready for work. Excited about going to anime iowa. I haven’t gone for several years because it’s been on my birthday, or my husbands, and didn’t know who was going.

This year I’m going anyway, and shall greet the morning of my 25th year at the convention.
I know I’m going to have an awesome time! Whee!

Kim and Maciek are picking me up in about an hour, breakfast at the Blue Plate diner is in order, and then we’re off to Cedar Rapids. We’ve worked so hard to publish a zine for the con, it feel so good to have accomplished something awesome. I haven’t seen the printed out zines’, but they told me last night they were great.

I need to keep movin, packin. See you all Sunday night.


My birthday is on Sunday.

What I really want is an ibook! (12″ loaded), but that’s likely a way off.

What I’d really love/want/need is an Art desk. (and much more in a gift budget price)

And then, a variety of books and games:

This Year’s Amazon Listmania Birthday List

and last years list is still around, for the curious or stumped

Last Year’s Amazon Listmania Birthday List

I’d also love
Perfume my husband likes and picks out for me
A Pretty sleep mask (we have a streetlamp right outside our bedroom :( )

and a RvB Tex Shirt

I know it sounds like a lot, but it’s a Wishlist. I actually really happy with the way things are right now. Happy in general. yah!

As the Zine Turns.

August21

Oy! Zine drama! Ok, not really. Buut. The print place closed at 9 last night, no biggie, I was still finishing up the grayscale shading at 12:30, got home/bed by one. The grays really make my 4 pages pop, very cool.

The others went back to the studio and were up , at least till 3, finishing things up. They so rock. I’m so proud of all of us.

So! Printing tonight. And apparently we have a WebComic Panel saturday afternoon to host.

wheee

more later
