Back From Megacon and It's SPRING BREAK!
Hey all! It's spring break! Yeah! ^_^
First off, I went to Megacon in Orlando today. Jen and I got up at the unholy hour of 8am (^^;), turned ourselves into tennis players, and headed out about 9-ish. We got there at 11, met up with Brandon, and went conning. (Hm, there needs to be a better verb for that...)
Mostly I went to the con for the dealers' room, and oh was it pretty. O.O Some good-sized amount of money later, I came home with the following:
- Gundam SEED Destiny clearfile with Athrun and Shinn! XD
- Two Gundam SEED collectible figures: they turned out to be Milliaria and a *really* hot Cagalli o.O;; (And I got the website of a great place so I can get the Kira and the Lacus, and hope that they get the Athrun in soon!)
- The WORST-dressed Inui plushie ever. It was horrible. As soon as I got home I fixed that. ^^;
- 58th Squadron patch - since Megacon was an all-around sci-fi, comics, and anime con, they had SAAB stuff! *squees*
- A birthday present for my mom. Yes. I got her something from a convention. <<; I think she'll like it. I hope.
Things I REALLY wanted but could not buy:
- ZAFT and EAF flags!
- Teh cutest Daisuke clearfile ever
- Ryoma plushie with a mouth!
- Taka plushie (I will get one!!)
- GUNDAMS! Dammit, why are Freedom and Impulse so expensive?
- Teen Titans poster (I still want one! I didn't see any >>)
- Ichigo's wristband (again, just didn't see it)
BUT! I SAW AN ICHIGO!! XD All was happy. He was 1337, as Ichigo tends to be.
Right, so in other con news... quite a few people actually knew who Jen and I were, so that was really cool. Usually we PoT cosplayers get ignored because no one's seen our show. ^^; We also found a Momo-sempai. ^_^ Who made bad puns like a dork. And a Kevin Smith who tried tomolest me all evening... and kept getting whacked with a fan for it (go Sanjiroh!). It was actually quite good fun, though as usually happens at cons I was very tired and headache-y. -_-; But it was fun.
Anyway, I headed out about 9pm-ish, and got back right about 11. And I have NO idea what I've been doing between then and now. o.O; Anyway, I should go to bed very soon (as in at least half an hour ago) so I can get up and go running tomorrow. Oh! But before I forget, my list of things to do over spring break! (For my own purposes, really.)
- Look at apartments - and possibly decide on one
- Get tickets to Boston (Jen and I have picked them out, I just need to make sure she can pay me back and click "order")
- Possibly/probably get a haircut >>;
- Work on Heihachi and maybe even start Kira
- Finish my crazy PoT fic
- CLEAN! (My apt. and my hard drive)
- Spend more time with my kitty
- Study for ISM and do the reading for Radio
- Perform some maintenance on my bike
- SLEEP!!
I'm sure there's lots more to do, but I'll likely think of that later.
BEDTIME!

Man, I thought I was the only person left that enjoyed that show. ^_^

I am fervently hoping that show will come out on DVD, and soon. I liked almost every single episode, but I didn't catch a few of them on tape.

They are pushing for a DVD release right now. Info is at Kate's place here:
http://www.microserve.net/~kduncan/op_treasuredisc.html
The Ready Reserve (the 59th) was actually mentioned in the final episode when the 58th mention they are flying guard for them. We were really active for about three years then internal problems with the hierarchy kind of sent the national organization spinning. We managed to get Sci Fi to pick up the show a few years ago, and had some hope for a mini-series, but it pretty much fell through and the group is now largely inactive in most areas.
I used to run the local Indy chapter until it got down to just me then I disbanded the bunch. I still keep up with Kate though via her site.
Ah yes, my "good old days" back in the 90s.

Oh, and if you're ever looking for hard-to-find Rei figures, go here:
animecollectibles.com (http://www.animecollectibles.com)
They have all the little capsule figures that come in boxes sold separately, so you don't have to get a box and hope it's the one you want!

does jen still owe you $80?
you need to be assertive about these things!

2) Nope, she eventually paid me back. So far she doesn't owe me anything, but we were thinking of getting our plane tickets together.
