[Mon ♥ 09.01.12 ♥ 11:55PM] |
One of my resolutions this year is to start blogging regularly again, so in-between incessantly updating Tumblr, I'll either resume posting things here or consider creating an actual website...
Until then, a few of my alter-egos decided to combine forces in gif-form:

Guh, I haven't made a legit update in FOREVER. I still have a draft of the entire recap of our trip to San Diego Comic Con in queue, that I was hoping to post by now, but alas, life got in the way of livejournal.
Anyway, New York Comic Con is this weekend and I still have a billion things to do before I leave on Thursday morning, but I'm pretty thrilled. Anyway, let me know if any of you are going so that I can look out for you :D

You were chained to a girl that would kill you with a look.
So it's August and before I can do a San Diego Comic Con post, I have to catch up on real life first...
Andrew and I celebrated our three-month anniversary during Fourth of July weekend. We saw She & Him at the House of Blues with Jake, Alicia, Jasmine, and John [super-triple-date!], went to the Aquarium, saw the fireworks, and played HeroClix. After all the hustle and bustle of San Diego Comic Con, I'm finally off to see him again in Earth-2 next weekend... I can't wait ♥
Otherwise, all of last month was basically costuming madness, but I guess these things also happened:
Advanced screening of Inception - loved it. The guy I was sitting next to was making a poorly structured joke about how one of his friends was so obsessed with Facebook that she met some guy through there and while he was murdering her, she kept updating her Facebook statuses. He then asked me to friend him. I didn't friend him. For the record, my Inception totem would be my warped plastic Green Lantern ring.
While we weren't chosen to be one of the main subjects in the San Diego Comic Con Documentary, we were asked to do a small Q&A segment for the film and a photoshoot, however, I'll go into that in my SDCC post :D
My friend, Lulu Bonanza at New England Comics interviewed me twice on video [kinda] for her blog:
The fashion of I Zombie
Snorlax dress
Before we left for San Diego, we went to the midnight release party for Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour at New England Comics, where the turnout was insane!
And I dyed my hair back to black.
And now I have to think about moving, our birthday party, JemCon, New York Comic Con, Halloween... !

| a superfriend to make things right |
[Wed ♥ 30.06.10 ♥ 03:07PM] |
super chouette
Gah, I've been so ridiculously busy - I really have to start updating more than once a month u_u;;;
Anyway, my trip to Earth-2 at the beginning of the month for Andrew's birthday was fun - he seemed to like all of his presents, and I got to eat mini-tacos, so all was right in the universe. He's coming up to Boston tomorrow for the holiday weekend, which will be a well-welcomed break from my costume work with my favorite person ever. Likewise, Jasmine & John are also coming up tomorrow for the She & Him show, so we're all [including Jake & Alicia, but they're a given] going on a super triple-date :D
When I got back from New York, I saw The Futureheads & The Like at the Paradise with Jess. Both of them were brilliant - The Like are my current band crush and dream band in one.
My Snorlax dress got its second wind of e-fame via Kotaku & ComicsAlliance. Insanity. I feel bad because I've gotten a lot of requests for Snorlax dress commissions, and while I would love to take these orders, I don't have the time to make them [given my full-time office job and my focus on SDCC costumes right now], nor do I feel nearly comfortable enough with my tailoring skills to make custom pieces for people that I can't do fittings for, in person. Likewise, I hardly have any time to resurrect my Etsy store just yet, so yeah, blerg. On a personal level, I have been experiencing an overload of craft ideas and things that I want to make for myself or my friends, and haven't really had the time to pursue any of these ideas yet either.
With that said, I've already committed to going to New York Comic Con [which is merging with the New York Anime Festival] this October by purchasing a weekend badge. Which means that I will be working on costumes for that shortly after San Diego Comic Con. Luckily, I think that I'm just going to wear two of my SDCC costumes and create one new costume for that con, so I'm not too stressed out [yet]. Andrew redesigned one of the creepiest characters in the DCU into a Bethany-ified costume. I rarely consider costume suggestions from others, since I have too many ideas, but the redesign is just that awesome. I can't wait to work on it!
Alicia and I made a trek to Osgood Textile to track down some things for our costumes. The place was absurdly large and yet, while we were able to find the fabric for AK's costumes, I still had to resort to ordering my fabric from Spandex House. Real life problems.
We saw Toy Story 3 two weekends ago and it was perfect.
We finally got around to filming and submitting our video entry for the SDCC Documentary [fingers crossed!]. I'll probably post it eventually, however seeing that we mentioned some of our top secret costumes, it'll have to wait until I've completed all of the costumes. Speaking of which, I need to dye my hair black next week. I already miss my red hair dearly.
This past weekend, while I was waiting for Meg for our crêpe date, these two women in Coolidge Corner told me that they were going to adopt me and put me in their doll collection.
And lately, I've been feeling kinda funny. I can't tell if I'm doomed or destined. That's really the best I can articulate what exactly this feeling is. It's not necessarily a bad feeling either - I just feel like I've been a bit disconnected, floating, and alone. Doomed or destined, I know that I have to get grounded and push myself. Once more with feeling: let's do this!

| Well, I'm a little bi-furious! |
[Thu ♥ 03.06.10 ♥ 11:47AM] |
girl wonder
Oh hey, quick update & massive image dump ahoy!
We went to Alicia's end of the semester art show last month, where we witnessed a girl passing off an HTML word cloud as art. I also ran into my friend Tracy (whom I haven't seen since sophomore year at UMass), who did a concentration on 60's styled pop art and videos; it was all very ginchy.
I also saw Everybody Was In The French Resistance... Now at Great Scott later that night. Despite the small turnout, it was an excellent show with snarky banter. Eddie Argos apparently visited New England Comics upon my suggestion as well, but alas, I missed my chance to meet him and Dyan. C'est la vie.
Went to a midnight showing of Human Centipede. Honestly, it wasn't as gross as I thought it'd be, with the grossest part being when the IV needle ripped out of the girl's arm in my opinion (y'know, rather than being any of the feces-related scenes, aka most of the movie).
Now that I think about it, I haven't really talked too much about actual comics lately, but you guys should check out I, Zombie (the second issue comes out this week, and you can probably still pick up the first issue for only $1). It's pure Mike Allred eye-candy about ginchy zombies, were-terriers, mod ghosts, and the like. You can read the prequel to I, Zombie here.
A couple weekends ago, Jake, Alicia & I went apartment-shopping, scouting for a suitable place to relocate Wayne Manor. Since we all a better grasp on our budget, we figured that we could afford to splurge for a place with better space/light and that's closer to the T. After a day of appointments with realtors, we realized that we were all in love with the first place we looked at. Hardwood floors, plenty of space/light, far superior floor planning than the current Manor, a washer/dryer unit right in the apartment, and only a couple blocks away from the T. I'm really hoping that the landlord lets us paint the place as well - I need my bubblegum pink walls! I can't wait to move!
So many things to do for San Diego Comic Con! I passed the preliminaries for the casting call for fans for the SDCC documentary, and now Alicia and I have to make a video entry. I'm kind of stumped in terms of creativity, but regardless, wish us luck ♥
In other news, it's Andrew's birthday tomorrow and I'm off to Earth-2 tonight for the weekend ♥ I can't wait to see him, however, I REALLY can't wait to eat some mini-tacos. SWOON [for the mini-tacos].

| Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #10 |
[Sat ♥ 15.05.10 ♥ 05:14PM] |
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #10 just came out this past Wednesday:
page 16, panel 1 - check out the reporter on the bottom righthand corner...
It's ME! Caught in an explosion in front of Kitty Pryde's house!
David Lafuente drew me into this issue of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man after he saw this photo of me posing with UCSM #5 ◐‿◐ He told me to look out for a striped dress in issue #10, but I had figured that he was just going to draw it on MJ/Gwen/Kitty, or that some miscellaneous background character was going to be wearing my dress, which I thought would've been pretty stellar...
But alas, that's me! With a BOW! In a Spider-Man comic! In a panel with freaking Spider-Man himself!
Never in a million years would I have thought I'd make even the tiniest of cameos in a comic book, but I think it's safe to say that I'm still totally nerding out [at the very least] XD
Anyway, go check out UCSM if you haven't already - it's the only Marvel series that I read right now, and I think that that says a lot, being a DC girl and all. And again, thanks David Lafuente!

| Free Comic Book Day 2010 |
[Sun ♥ 09.05.10 ♥ 11:08PM] |
LARGE HAMMER: +2 AGAINST GIRLS
So, Free Comic Book Day 2010 was this past May 1st!
This was my first time being on costume duty for Free Comic Book Day - the past few years, I've only been able to attend FCBD at the comic shops near UMass, where the FCBD celebrations aren't as ornate and silly as they are at New England Comics. Luckily, Alicia and I were asked to participate this year at New England Comics [Allston], in costume :D
Originally, Alicia and I had two really great costumes planned and all ready to go; however, due to last-minute family/religious nonsense, she wasn't able to make it :( In the end, it actually all worked out for the best, since the wig for my costume still has yet to arrive [China, WTF?], and we'll probably just save these costumes for San Diego :D Anyway, instead, I pulled together a brand new Ramona Flowers get-up [outfit from "Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together"; hammer from "Scott Pilgrim & the Infinite Sadness"]. Basically, I spent the day taking photos with people, waving at buses, and snacking on free food. I also befriended my costumed brethren, and bonded over how DC > Marvel*.
And at one point, these young men asked Harley Quinn if she was "Joker's girl" and then looked at me and asked if I was Thor's girl. Must've been the hammer.
Though they also asked me if I was Wonder Woman. Must've been when I beat the shit out of them.
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY PHOTOS AHOY!

Brightest Day / Blackest Night / etc etc
Life's been pretty stellar lately.
I went to Albany a couple weekends ago to visit Andrew. We ventured out around his hometown, hung out with Meg (!), and dropped by Albany Comic Con. Since Boston Comic Con was simply too crowded to comfortably rifle through longboxes of back issues, it was nice actually getting to do so at ACC. Also, I'm starting to realize that a large proportion of our dates have been spent at conventions. Not that I have any objections (... NERD!).
But I digress - my Boyfriend Wonder is the bees' knees and I can't wait to see him again. He also wears red socks. Just like Speed Racer (swoon ♥).
I've developed a new hobby in searching for haunted dolls on eBay and reading their descriptions. I don't plan on buying any of them, unless I come across a haunted Kewpie doll. That would truly be the gem of my Kewpie doll collection ◐‿◐
I saw Iron Man 2 this past Thursday at midnight with Alicia and Devin - while it wasn't as amazing as the first movie, we all had a really fun time. I wanted to head to the midnight viewing of Human Centipede this past weekend [preferably after consuming a Double Down, which I still have yet to do (boo!)], but I was just too darn exhausted to do two midnight viewings in one week. Seasonal narcolepsy has made me so totally lame.
In other news, I really want a huge .30-06 bullet belt. And a burger-shaped yo-yo. And these jelly shoes.
I also need to buy tickets to New York Comic Con this week. Real life, guys!
Oh, I intended to post these here forever ago, but then I forgot and stuff...
She Looks Like The Wednesday Comics - fashion tips from comic strips
Gold Guns Girls: Les Villainettes - my and Alicia's cosplay adventures
I'm trying to best to update these as frequently as possible, so yeah.
And Free Comic Book Day happened last week, but I'll make a separate post for that :)
Okay, here are a billion photos now - enjoy ♥

Fighting evil by Bat-light?
[Two weekends ago: Anime Boston]
Anime Boston highlights:
- used my forgotten 17th superpower to woo the registration desk to let me pick up Andrew's badge, despite their strict pick-up policy. My 17th superpower is the one where I'm an Asian girl at an anime convention.
- Andrew protecting me from Poke-trainers trying to capture me.
- of all people, Two-Face gave me a double take on Friday.
- Andrew trying to convince me that a cosplayer from Galaxy Express 999 was Draco Malfoy's dad.
- "Yeah, I bet he really did goddamn like that book..."
- these girls in Artist Alley called me an anorexic Snorlax... Thanks?
- running into all of my lovely friends
- at one point during the con, a Watson cosplayer wanted a photo of Batgirl and Nightwing. Sidekicks-of-the-world's-greatest-detectives unite!
- >90% of anime fans actually don't know how to play Marco Polo correctly.
Available for all minor and major capers.
[Last weekend: Boston Comic Con]
Boston Comic Con highlights:
- scheming with Alicia
- Holy huge turnout, Batman! The con reached maximum capacity by the time we got there [around noon time] and we had to wait about two hours to get in. Insanity.
- to Andrew, Naruto and Dragonball Z are basically the same thing. He's kind of right.
- I got to see almost all of my artist/writer friends, including Sara Richard, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) sinicallytwsted, greendalek, Kevin Church, Ming Doyle, Beany, Tofusquirrel, and many others :D
- both Alicia and Andrew acting as my bodyguards. Yeah.
- my favorite cosplayers were Batman with a tiny Robin and a tiny Batgirl... and Mankind [Socko included].

polaroids taken by Kyna
A few weekends ago, I made a trek to Pittsburgh, to see Rae before she left for Japan for another year. I really missed her, so I was thrilled to get to see her. Also, spending time with Rae also meant total fashion overload @_@ Bought lots of new clothes and Rae picked up a lot of things in Japan for me ♥ Plus, I finally got to meet Kyna, whom I truly believe is my Marvel Universe counterpart ♥
Otherwise, life's been pretty busy, but fun - I've been running on empty, doing various things for Anime Boston and Boston Comic Con, which were last weekend and this weekend respectively, and just trying to keep things in order. There was a brief crisis with our hotel situation for San Diego Comic Con; I thought that I had confirmed a reservation on the SDCC hotel reservation system, but it turned out that there was an additional step in the confirmation process that I wasn't aware of, and thus, our reservation was canceled. Luckily, Priceline came to the rescue and we actually got a hotel that's slightly closer to the con, of equal caliber with the hotel we originally booked, and CHEAPER! So now, all we have left to worry about are our costumes. Judging from how I've handled Anime Boston and Boston Comic Con over the past couple of weeks, I plan to be better with giving myself enough time to work on my costumes sans pushing myself too hard. Plus, I was starting to get nausea attacks from a strict diet of no sleep and sugar-free Amp, so yeah.
In other news, my hair is red. I'm hoping to work on some other projects and to actually get my Etsy back on track. And I'm in dire need of sleep, hangers for my new clothes, gym, mini-tacos, diet mountain dew, and more time with Andrew.
I'll post photos from Anime Boston and Boston Comic Con in a separate post, but for now, everything else!

... Kraft or Velveeta?
Gah, it's almost been a month since I've made a proper update.
Evelyn visited us a couple times over the past few weeks, which was a nice surprise especially considering how hectic this past month has been for me :D I'm not really stressed per se, just really busy.
I finally read Astonishing X-Men, which was... astonishing. To be honest, I had never expected to feel that connected to any of the X-Men characters before I read this, so I was more than pleasantly surprised, especially with the interpersonal relationships between the characters.
Went to an advanced screening of Kick-Ass last Monday. Despite hesitations I had about Nicolas Cage and hearing mixed criticisms of Mark Millar's work, it was a really fun movie. Hit-Girl was brilliant, and Nic Cage's Adam West-esque banter as Big Daddy killed me. Unlike certain other comic-turned-films, I think that I'd actually want to watch this again. Plus, lots of Easter Eggs throughout the film. And the hot girl name-dropped Scott Pilgrim... Yeah.
I feel like I'm missing a lot of important things that have happened... oh well.
This coming weekend, I'm heading to Pittsburgh. The next weekend is Anime Boston, and the weekend after that is Boston Comic Con. I'll get some sleep eventually. At this point, I only have time to think about costumes, dresses, and my Boy Wonder... which really isn't all that bad :D
photos ahoy!

For Valentine's Day, I got Nightwing from Nightwing ♥
I went to Albany/Earth-2 to visit Andrew for almost a whole week, including Valentine's Day weekend. I can't stop thinking about mini-tacos, Heroclix, and my Boy Wonder. Must contain these heart flutters.
Over the past month, I've spent the equivalent of one month's worth of rent at my first apartment on new clothes. Mind you, the rent in the Maxi-Pad [Amherst] was almost half my rent in the Batcave [Allston; understandably] and almost all of my purchases were on sale, but still. I'm cutting myself off from buying new clothes until I clear out my closet and storage.
In semi-related news, I'm really starting to buckle down on doing/completing everything I need to do. Willpower, don't fail me now!
Also, I had my first slow-dance ever [please refer to the first paragraph of this post]. He put "Soco Amaretto Lime" [one of my favorite songs from high school] as the first song. Just sayin'.

S. Kyle. I'm so ready to be a pin-up in Tiger Beat magazine.
Spent my MLK weekend in Brooklyn - went shoppinggg, hung out with friends, met up with Jasmine & John [!], saw the Archie exhibit at the MoCCA, and ventured out in the city. As always, I never have enough time to do all the things I want, but I think that maybe I'll have an actual NY vacation sometime in the Summer or Fall. Regardless, I'll definitely return to NY once the weather is a bit warmer, and when more of my friends are back in town n_n Anyway, I returned to Wayne Manor on Monday night, exhausted and more than happy to be back home with people who provide hard taco shells for me for Taco Night ♥
Otherwise, my life has basically consisted of the following:
- Rewatching Aziz Ansari's "Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening". If Evelyn can't move into Wayne Manor, I'm officially nominating Aziz to be our other-other roommate. I've also been catching up Batman: Brave and the Bold.
- Teared up during Conan's last show.
- Been perusing through a catalog of prop/weapon replicas. Nerd-hyperventilation ensued.
- Slowly catching up on comics.
- Working on lots of secret missions and actually relying on organization and plans, rather than going about everything spontaneously. I actually feel less stressed. Go figure.
- Going to the gym. Wooooo.
- Blowing my money on lots of nice things to make my room/life prettier.
- Recently realizing that I've never slow-danced in my entire life.
Anddd I will be in Albany/Earth-2 on Valentine's/President's Day weekend n_n
[These took me forever to c&p and put them in order. I care too much about my Livejournal.]
( She's a safe-cracker. )
I'll have a post about this weekend... eventually ♥
But until then...

In light of Zelda Rubinstein's death, I'm still trying to live out my life in the style of Teen Witch.
[a goal I've had since I was 5]
The spontaneous song-breaks about liking boys and wanting the be the most popular girl are definitely putting me on the right track, but I still need to find my amulet. And only then, will Brad the Heartthrob like me, and then my best friend will win over her dream guy with a sassy rap-off, and then life will be awesome.
But Madame Serena will still be dead.
Maybe it's not too late to re-align my life-goals to the Poltergeist movies.

[Mon ♥ 11.01.10 ♥ 08:20PM] |
Welcome to 2010.
On New Year’s Eve, we headed out to First Night in Boston – despite living in/near Boston all my life, this was actually my first time attending First Night. We ventured to the Hynes for Kaiju, met up with more people, and encountered a couple guys who used this line on me. Afterwards, we looked at the ice sculptures [all of them appeared to be only viewable in Blackest-Night-vision], decided to avoid the crowded bars along Newbury Street after the countdown, and headed home to play Rock Band instead. All in all, one of the most fun New Year’s I’ve had in a long time.
I decided to spend the first weekend of the new year going on a much-needed self-date and treated myself to a haircut and redyed my hair, new clothes, a burger and fries, and attempted to go glasses-shopping, which was all really nice – 2009 had been one of the busiest years of my entire life [in a good way] and it was nice to just get away and have a day for myself. However, by the end of the day, I came home to a freezing Wayne Manor [broken heater, gah], and I had managed to lose my brand new Charlie Card on the way home. Combined with the realization that I wouldn’t be able to fight off this horrible growing sense of doubt with retail therapy, burgers, or comic books this time, it really wasn’t the ideal state to ring in the new year, especially after feeling so ambitious days prior. I started to worry that maybe I wasn’t as ready as I thought - ready to accomplish all of these things that I’ve been wanting to do, to take on these responsibilities, to make the first move, to accept possible and inevitable disappointments, to give in [or to give up] when necessary, to feel this strongly about anyone/anything, to prove everyone wrong/right… It wasn’t until today [about a week later] that I realized that since I’ve confronted my problem that night, I’ve actually been more zealous than ever to follow through with all the amazing things that I’m destined to do... and maybe even catch up on my comics one day. I have faith in myself and everything I pursue.
Alicia and I went to a free screening of Youth in Revolt last week. Michael Cera’s Zur-en-Arrh personality [and trash ‘stache] killed me. Over the past week, I’ve been on two food excursions with the Kaiju crew, which is nice, as I really only get to see them at Battels. Anddd Jake, Alicia and I went on a field trip to the Museum of Science for the Harry Potter exhibit [it was my Christmas present to them :D]. It was absolutely breathtaking, and I don’t really consider myself a huge Harry Potter fan per se. I loved being able to see all of the gorgeous intricate details in the clothing and wands. Also, Jake and I totes slam-dunked the funk in Quidditch. BALLIN.
And I’ve welcomed Planet Fitness back into my galaxy.
Oh, and now I’m actively floating around in the dregs of the internet:
Lookbook & DeviantArt
I’ve had both accounts open for a while now, but I’m finally using Lookbook, and semi-using DevArt [mostly to stalk comic artists]. Yeah, that’s it.

[Sun ♥ 27.12.09 ♥ 02:38PM] |
Swung by Comicazi-con the weekend before I left for my business trip - saw Kevin and Ming and treated myself to some comics and toys before I had to leave the con for some last-minute Christmas shopping [for people who aren't myself]. I was almost offered recruitment into Kevin's gang of Asian-girls-with-freckles, but unfortunately, I don't have enough freckles. And then Larry's Comics had a breakdown on Twitter and things were awkwardly entertaining.
My business trip in South Carolina went well - lots of training conferences and Southern food. It's been more than a week since I've been back and I've found myself missing grits o_o Anyway, with the help of Michelle [and Comic Shop Locator], I was actually able to track down a comic shop within 5 miles of where I was [incidentally the same shop where Chris (of Chris' Invincible Super-Blog fame) works], however, I wasn't allowed to write off taxi rides to comic shops as business expenses. Instead, I finished reading Essex County during my trip and absolutely loved it. It actually kind of made me feel more of a bond with my dad and my sister and their love for hockey. I had only previously heard of Jeff Lemire from Sweet Tooth and his work for Art Brut's cover art, and I can't wait to read more of his stuff. And that's how my craving for grits and a comic review dominated my business trip recap.
I've managed to make Jasmine's epic TOPS OF 2009 list - I'm quite honored, since the lady really does have impeccable taste ♥ Psst, if you're trying to find me amongst the sub-categories, I'm #5 in "TOP CRUSHES"... right after JoGoLevs. Obvi.
After a $61 taxi ride from Logan to Wayne Manor, I was finally back home a little after midnight last Friday, and I passed out until Andrew arrived from Earth-2 for the weekend :D I showed him a little around Boston and we spent most of the weekend watching movies [Die Hard!], playing Rock Band, and relaxing. And by relaxing, I mean, teasing him about his totally rational fear of the Puppet Master movies.
We had a Christmas celebration on Wednesday at Wayne Manor. We made tacos, watched A Christmas Story, played Rock Band, and exchanged presents. Christmas with my family was fun too, but now I'm sick and all I'm craving is Chinese food from Brighton.
As for New Year's Eve? I think we're all going to hit up First Night and wreak havoc on the streets of Boston. And on the ice sculptures. And I guess go to Kaiju Big Battel.
Oh, and Alicia and I are officially going to San Diego Comic Con 2010.
( IT'S A PARTY IN THE JLA )
Okay, I gotta go now, since my parents just arrived with the aforementioned Chinese food from Brighton and I have more episodes of Batman BatB to catch up on. My life is awesome. I guess I'll work on my 2009 recap later.
xoxoxo love ya like a sister~

"I think I saw this on a Saturday morning cartoon."
Since we last left off :
Alicia and I saw Metric at the House of Blues. How much I adore you, Ms. Haines.
I've been slowly catching up on comics [some dating back to October - yikes]. One day, I will catch up and be cool.
I recently ran into one of my younger friends from high school, whom I haven't seen since my freshman year of college - she spotted me while I was in the comic shop [yeah, yeah...]. Within only half an hour of catching up with her, and discussing her goals in film-making, I realized how refreshing it was to talk to someone who seemed just as creatively-inspired and motivated as myself. For a while now [especially with most of my friends living the post-college life during the current state of the job market], I've realized that my absurd level of optimism does come across as ridiculous, if not unnerving, to others, so it was just really nice to talk to someone who also has high hopes for herself.
So, I may or may not have had H1N1. It was the most painful flu I've ever experienced, and Alicia's professor supposedly had it... and given my bad habit of rolling around in Alicia's schoolwork, I feel that it was only inevitable. It hit me right during Thanksgiving weekend too, which caused me to miss out on both Black Friday [eh] and my 5-year high school reunion... which means that I'll have to wait another five years to show all those thick-necked bullies and over-tanned bitchezzz how fucking awesome I am now*! Anyway, my voice only recently got back to semi-normal, which means that I can kind of play Rock Band again [yay].
Saw Fantastic Mr. Fox. It was fantastic.
Razz came to visit, which was fun, and I got to see a lot of people whom I haven't seen in a while. It made me realize that I've been stupidly busy for the past few months and that I haven't been able to see a lot of my friends, but I hope that things will slow down once it's January.
Somewhat related, I plan on going to NYC during MLK weekend [January 16th-18th], mostly to go fabric-shopping, gorge on Japanese food on St. Mark's, and maybe visit the DC offices [OMG OMG I KNOW RIGHT?!], so if any of you would like to meet up during that weekend [and/or provide shelter for me (pleaseeeee)], let me know :D
Next week, I'm blasting off on my first business trip [and pretty much my first plane ride] ever - I'm in the land of the South for 3.5 days. Turns out that the closest comic shop is about 45 minutes away from where I'll be staying... so I've already taken out The Complete Essex County from the library to keep me busy during my off-hours. I'm finally a grown-up, guys.
And as of late, I've felt like the sleepiest girl in the world.
WAKE UPPPPPPP!

| The Long Halloween |
[Fri ♥ 13.11.09 ♥ 01:23AM] |
FLESH.
Life since we last left off...
Actually, this happened before Boston Comic Con, but I forgot to mention it: Went to JoJo's birthday party! It was her "golden birthday" [turning 22 on the 22nd of October!], so I made her a gold birthday bow ♥ I ate lots of delicious food, but had to retire early since I was sick that entire week, bleh.
Celebrated Halloween on Earth-2 with Andrew! Went to a Halloween party, watched lots of movies, went to a tiny con, and played Lego Rock Band [before it was released OMG]. It was a really nice way to conclude my 1.5 months of Halloween madness n_n
I've officially finalized all of the travel plans for my business conference trip, which I've been referring to as BUSI-CON 2009. I'm even going to cosplay as Lois Lane*...
Otherwise, I've been semi-MIA socially, aside from hanging out with Alicia and Jake; been catching up on sleep and reading, and hoping to start on my non-costume-related projects. Somehow, I missed the notice where I was apparently still busy with lots of other things after the month of October. Luckily, they're mostly fun-busy things, but still - I need go find an available weekend to go to NYC/BK so I can go shopping. Anyway, I apologize in advance for any flaking out on my part.
Metric show coming up next week [free tickets, woo!], Thanksgiving the next week, and my 5-year high school reunion is on Black Friday... and then it's like, December already, right? Eep!
Oh, and I'm semi in charge of a *TOP SECRET MISSION*. I'm kind of freaking out [in a good way]. That's all I can publicly disclose for now, and all of the parties seem pretty interested, so I'm pretty optimistic. Okay, I'm going to shut up about this and not jinx all of us.
Conclusively, I've survived through Halloween. +100XP AWESOMESAUCE.
Lots and lots of photos. Mostly of me and/or nerdy things. Sasuga~

*... NOT Superwoman. Though I'm sure I'd make an impression on the other business professionals, to say the very least.

( If you feel like comparing... )
Also, Alicia's taller than I am, but not as relatively tall as she looks in that photo...
it's totally just the camera angle.
... And Bryan Lee O'Malley and MTV's Splash Page tweeted/retweeted our photo. FAME.
Anyway, here are some photos from Big Apple Con/Boston Comic Con/LIFE...
and even A VIDEO [... THE FUTURE!]

Smek~♥
P.S. Wow, we haven't even reached Halloween yet, have we?
Look out for yet another post full of costumes next week... !

[Sun ♥ 25.10.09 ♥ 11:48PM] |
Just a refreshing reminder of what I look like in my civvies...
[Superior photo creds, of course, go to my comic store dad, Benn Robbins.]
I'll post about Boston Comic Con at a later date, but overall, I had a lot of fun.
Got some comics, saved my friends from boredom/creeps, and bummed around the artist tables that had the best candy.
I'm a nuisance.
For now, here are a few things that I'd acquired last weekend:
I got a super deal on these from a dealer at BACC - 2 for $5 *o*
I was initially only going to get the white one, but they were both so cute ♥
left: Marc Ecko x Star Wars shirt [for free... for being a Girl Wonder]
right: Booster Gold Fan Club shirt [I need to resize it ASAP so I can wear it. EVERYDAY.]
My family LOL'd when I showed them the Booster shirt XD
I picked this up at the Art Brut show.
I wanted the Art Brut comic shirt, but they didn't have them at the Cambridge show...
however, the tote proved to be a suitable cape-carrying purse on my way to New York, haha.
I also didn't get this from the con.
I finally got Vix's package in the mail, which included this Long Blondes tote bag that I've been eying for a while.
Andrew drew me this for my birthday... I kind of freaked out over how awesome this was *o*
Plus, it's even bagged & boarded! Totally stellar ♥
|
|
| Not on your life, Girl Wonder. |
[Thu ♥ 22.10.09 ♥ 04:31AM] |
I had a dream I was a vigilante's sidekick.
Things that I've learned from last weekend/Big Apple Comic Con 2009:
1. Art Brut can deliver. Eddie Argos jumproped with his microphone, and they played the DC version of "Modern Art". Conclusively: Art! Brut! Top of the pops!
2. Around this time of year, it's still pitch black at 5am [the approximate time on Saturday morning when I completed my costume and headed out to South Station for my bus to New York].
3. I had officially been awake for 24 hours by the time that I finally napped on the bus.
4. Vendors on Canal Street will wish you Happy Halloween if you've traveled in costume. Which I kind of did [sans the cape and mask].
5. Twitter is useful for many reasons, one of which is alerting you that the convention had reached full capacity while you're on your way there...
6. Registration was incredibly quick, and I got a free art tutorial book [which I had initially assumed that they were giving out to all the hot girls, but then realized that Andrew got one too... turns out they were giving them out to those who pre-registered for 3-day badges].
7. It was cold waiting outside in the line for the exhibit halls, but atleast it wasn't as cold as a refridgerator... ba-dum-ching.
8. Within 30 minutes of entering the con, I could barely move due to crowds of people taking my photo, and then was swept over to the Batmobile to cut the photo op line and play around in the Batmobile. For free. Holy bat-hookups, Batman.
9. Met two little girls who were named Harley Quinn & Batgirl. I've never experienced true parent-envy until this weekend. Everytime I saw them, they ran up to hug me [Harley's favorite character was Robin :D]; at one point, one of them petted my hair and was like "YOUR HAIR IS SO SOFT!" haha, children @_@
10. At one point [within the same first 30 minutes of entering the halls, ha], I filmed a tiny bit for Forbidden Planet [a bit where I say "Holy [fill-in-the-blank], Batman, etc etc"], so maybe that will surface at some point.
11. I had encountered my first downfall of my iBatphone this weekend - I can't use it whilst wearing gloves*. So I missed a lot of phone calls, and couldn't make any without freeing my thumbs.
12. Photographers want to take "candid shots" of me [i.e. me twittering], ha.
13. I didn't end up twittering or taking as many photos as I usually do... aside from my whole glove-wearing issue, it was probably due to the fact that this is the first con in about a year that I've participated as an attendee rather than a worker.
14. I've realized that one of my favorite things about going to cons is not meeting guys or male cosplayers, but rather, charming over pretty cosplayers and girl-nerds. Truth.
15. Fat venom still wears a fannypack.
16. Andrew as Madman totes reminded me of a Putty.
17. It's like, really funny when Nightwing cosplayers hit on me. Even moreso when I announce my plans to find them on Flickr and track them down on Myspace... Andrew was not amused.
18. Holy moly, we encountered the most glam Booster Gold ever. I've never been so completely smitten and jealous.
19. Deathstroke apologized for trying to kill me... only to then put a gun to my head when we took a photo together.
20. Speaking of whom, Iceman can apparently freestyle, over Deathstroke's beat-boxing skills [as seen in the second video of my last post]. By this point, I've clearly excused Deathstroke for all of his ill intentions towards me.
21. While waiting to enter the costume contest, we spotted a Clark Kent cosplayer, whom we wondered if he was the same Superman cosplayer we saw earlier, but then I had concluded that he wasn't... and then it turned out he was. Holy suspension of disbelief, Batman.
22. I provided my own sound effects during my on-stage entry to the contest, and got mad props from other heroes after I got off the stage. +50 charm points.
23. After the contest however, I told a baby Batgirl, who had just won a Barbie laptop for winning the kid's costume category, that she could use it to practice being Oracle, after which, everyone said that I was a jerk for saying so. Pssh, I didn't mean it like that. -100 charm points.
24. Regardless, after the costume contest, some guy totes gave me a Marc Ecko x Star Wars shirt, because he liked my costume. Holy free swag, Batman!
25. Mars 2112 is basically Pizza Planet from Toy Story, minus the pizza, plus more dancing space cadets and aliens. AWESOME!
26. Where the Wild Things Are? Fucking yes. It was even better than I expected.
27. I didn't actually meet Burt Ward [he wasn't at this con] - Andrew just hacked into my Twitter/DREAMS.
28. Those Cirque du Soleil poodle-people-things were annoying and creepy.
29. "Oh look, she's dressed up as my favorite character: Whore." - Andrew
30. Julie Newmar is TALL - we didn't realize this, until we were stalkingwalking behind her.
31. My girly 60's mod Robin > shiny slutty Robin, courtesy of Leg Avenue. For serious, guys.
32. After I told Andrew that Tim Drake totes stole his hairstyle, a worker at Midtown Comics came by to confirm this.
33. Power rings only kind of get in the way of holding hands n_n
OKAY, NOW ONTO THE PHOTOS ^o^
( HOLY BIG APPLE BATMAN! )
I'll take photos of my con-loot later, but for now, here's the first half of my birthday present from Andrew:
Kyaaaaa ♥ [... Yes, this totally required gif action]

| L'OCTOBRE |
[Thu ♥ 01.10.09 ♥ 12:20PM] |
Sup October? Wasn't expecting you so soon...
Planned adventures, in chronological order:
- carving pumpkins/roasting pumpkin seeds [WHAT SHOULD I CARVE? OMG]
- Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D
- free Mission of Burma show
- Whip It [Ellen Page + Maeby + roller derby = triple-punch to the guilty pleasure bone]
- photoshoot [?]
- my cousin's wedding
- trip to Salem [?]
- free Aquarium night
- 30 Rock season premiereee
- Art Brut [fucking finally]
- Big Apple Con with Andrew!
- Where the Wild Things Are [OMFG]
- a couple post-con days in NY with K8
- Six Flags FRIGHT FEST [despite my dream-death the other night, involving Bizarro]
- Boston Comic Con [Sunday] with Alicia, J'ai & Sara ♥
- Say Anything [?]
- Halloween party [?] - we're thinking about hosting a party on Halloween night, but we're not defs yet, considering that there are probably a billion other things going on that night. What are the rest of you doing for Halloween?
- Superhero 5K run - watching, not participating. Though that skanky Flash costume* would be kind of appropriate... maybe not. Now, if they really wanted to be nerdy, they'd have the villain-runners be at the front of the race, with the heroes chasing them, but I think I'd be setting my expectations a tad bit high.
Kicking the month off properly tonight, with free tickets to an advance screening of Zombieland [thanks New England Comics!]. We're** going to hold hands, eat burritos, then go to BoCoLo*** for the movie.
Some people have already presented their concern, believing that I will collapse and die by the end of all this insanity. Come on, people - have a little bit more faith in me ♥
And now I'll officially close out the month of September [and this post] with my last outfit of the month:
09.30.09 - Taken by Benn Robbins of New England Comics
black bow: handmade/Betty Felon
black mask necklace: purchased from Magpie Thrift
b&w striped zipper dress: h&m
plaid bomber jacket: h&m
black tights: uniqlo
black combat boots: steve madden
Gotham City Sirens, #3: New England Comics [duh]
[new lipstick! Revlon Va Va Violet ♥]
* Furthermore, as far as skanky, pre-made femmed-up superhero costumes go, The Flash one is actually cute.
** We = me + Alicia, though at this point, I feel like I would be discrediting the reader if I had to specify whom I meant... as I am doing right now. Sorry.

| JEM JAM ★ |
[Mon ♥ 28.09.09 ♥ 09:18AM] |
Our birthday party was truly outrageous ★
Alicia really is the Kimber to my Stormer ♥
JEM JAM was a blast! Almost all of our friends showed up and we just Rock Band'd the night away. Everyone seemed to get along swimmingly and appeared to have a stellar time. All in all, a major success! Thanks for all the birthday wishes, presents, and to everyone who showed up... doing the right thing makes you a SUPERSTAR★
But alas, singing/screaming + sick/sore throat = semi-shot voice. Blehhhh.
And all of this Synergy has given me a headache...
Luckily this week will be pretty low-key. Y'know aside from starting/finishing my other costumes in queue.
I also still need to buy my ticket for Big Apple Con, dye my hair, get new glasses, schedule a photoshoot, figure out if there is in fact a contact lens lost in my left eye [I'm starting to believe that it has slid all the way to the back of my eyeball and floated off into subspace], make a massive "what I bought" report, and eventually get through my pile of comics.
You'll have to go through a few photos before you get to the actual party pics. Deal.
( IT'S SHOWTIME, SYNERGY! )

[Wed ♥ 23.09.09 ♥ 01:37PM] |
Last weekend [September 12th] was unofficially the first of eight busy weekends in a row. Just realized that. Anyway, since that weekend...
I've inherited 3 BB guns from Devin. I feel bad for whomever decides to break into our house, only to discover our trove of vigilante artillery :-/ [see: Alicia's Rorschach mask and guns in the kitchen pantry, for starters.]
Date weekend with Alicia. We got our hurr did; the hairdressers asked if we were going out afterwards, now that we were all glammed up. They just kind of looked at us when we excitedly told them that we were going to the craft store. I bought Alicia a pony, and we saw Superheroine Monologues again [this performance was the extended version, which included more songs... and 60's Batman, Riddler, Joker, and The Penguin!]. Conclusively, I love Alicia Wood.
I've acquired two new dresses & a lint roller. I love you, Crouton & Mozilla, but you guys are kinda ruining my outfits every morning! I've also bought all of my fabric/materials for my Big Apple Con costume. And many cans of Amp. I placed in my requests for all of the other power rings [ONE FOR EVERY OUTFIT/MOOD SWING]. I've also ordered more shoes/boots, a dress, and various other accessories [for both real and fake life]. I'm already planning to reward myself with a dress, once I'm done with all of my projects. Because clearly, I suffer from a dress-deficiency.
Aside from Blackest Night: Batman, I haven't had the time to get through any of my other comics over the past couple of weeks - I've started reading Batman & Robin and Batgirl during the T catastrophe last Wednesday, but haven't gotten a chance to finish. Sewing and/or getting tangled up in tape measures have more or less taken up my life. Speaking of almost-completed costumes, post-haircut Alicia tried on her almost-completed outfit. I kind of wanted to break up with her just so that I could friend-court her all over again; honestly, that's how impeccable she looks [LOL HAVE I TOLD YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS GIRL?]. Now I just gotta work my screenprinting-magic on this and we're done with her costume ♥ [Yes, it is incredibly difficult to not blurt out what we're cosplaying until we're completely finished, but for now, it's kind of serving as a good motivator to make us finish our costumes sooner.]
Speaking of costumes, I've also encouraged one of my favorite comic artists to cosplay as Sailor Moon for Halloween ♥ [I even helped her pick out her wig XD]
The Office is back. Fucking yes. I can't wait for new episodes of 30 Rock.
This past weekend was my birthdayyy. The Manor was empty on Friday night, since everyone left for Rosh Hashanah, but Jake & Alicia left my present [please refer to the last post n_n] on the kitchen table for me, and at midnight, my favorite superhero wished me a happy birthday ♥ On Saturday, I trekked to Lowell to visit Joanna & Piseth ♥ We went to a Greek Gods/Mythic Creatures party, which was a blast. I went as Artemis [1. BOWS & arrows. 2. Since Oracles aren't goddesses, I'll settle for being a Huntress (ba-dum-ching!)]. On Sunday, I saw my parents briefly - they gave me a Kewpie doll keychain. The number of years old I am is officially one greater than the number of Kewpie dolls I currently own. Yes, that needed to be stated.
I officially have business cards at work. And in December, I'm going on a business trip to South Carolina... take your shirt off, and twist it 'round yo hand, spin it like a helicopter. I don't think I've ever actually heard that rap in its entirety, nor do I really need to. Conclusively, I'm totes profesh'.
Ohhh, also! I'm Jasmine's CRUSH OF THE WEEK ♥
