dejanaMm... how about... a long-overdue entry I should've made on Sunday... and here I am making it on Wednesday... whee procrastination :D and now that it's so late, it'll probably be a lot shorter than it would have been.
Had a busy, busy Saturday. Behold!
Yes! The Fullmetal Alchemist movie was showing in a few theaters in my area this past weekend. Hooray!
Before that, though, was the Anime Detour staff picnic. I met some more people and learned some more details. I'm still on the outs thanks to my shyness, but I think I'm making progress, and if nothing else I'm showing the departments I'm participating in that I'm a reliable person who's here to stay and not just indulging a momentary whim. Man, I love having a local anime con to participate in year-round. It's so much fun just being associated with this thing. And it's going to be a lot more fun now. More stress, too, of course but lots more fun.
Because... I got a green light to plan a fanfiction contest for next year's con! :D :D :D
I spoke to the head of programming, who I mentioned in my con report was at the fanfic panel last spring, and she remembered I had brought up the idea and was still all for it. When she asked if I wanted to spearhead the effort, of course I said yes. I'm so excited! Of course, I have NO idea what I'm getting myself into, and I'm sure some folks on my friends list are going to tell me what a major idiot I am for volunteering to do this, but I don't care. Whee! I may regret it later but for now I'm just excited like crazy. Maybe it'll work out and maybe it won't, but I want to give it a try. At worst it'll be a new experience, and at best it'll be AWESOME.
But yes. So pumped! :D
After the picnic it was dinner and the movie with my dad. His girlfriend tagged along, which was a bit strange since she doesn't know anything about anime in general, let alone the plot of FMA, but whatever. I'd bought the tickets in advance just in case it was busy, but as it turned out the crowd was really small. There had been hardly any advertising for this thing, the only reason I knew about it was because it had been announced on the AD forum. The turnout was disappointing, but the situation was brightened a bit by the presence of a representative of the rarest of breeds - a MALE Ed cosplayer! xD He was way too tall for the character, of course, but still, bonus points.
The movie was great. I wish I'd gone on Friday so I could've seen it again on Saturday. Does anyone know if there's a second movie, or is this the end of the anime?
After Saturday I pretty much lazed around for the rest of my days off. I did some more work on my cosplay prop project, and it's almost ready for assembly, but I'm almost out of Wonderflex. I'll probably have to order some more before I can finish it. Grr.
Monday night was the upgrade on .moon's forum software. It went okay, there were some issues, but I have most of them straightened out now, I think. Definitely worth the minor hassles if it protects us from hackers for a while longer.
I'm behind on so many things, yet I keep having new ideas I just can't let go of. -_- I need to make a to-do list.
