The Pyromaniacal One

This journal is friends only.

Leave a comment if you'd like to be added. Letting me know who you are and/or where you found me tends to help.

And yes, I'm picky, so no, I won't add everyone.

Thanks.

Hit NYC this weekend with a camera and casual cosplay on tow. After frolicking around the Met for several hours, lachlana and I hit up Times Square around 10pm. I'm not sure how we even found parking on the street. XD The weather couldn't have been kinder to us (well, it could have). Here are some of the shots...










The next day I bought myself a Nikon D60. :| (These were shot with my Kodak Easyshare Z710, no flash :D) Which just means that we'll have to make good use of it. lol

Other than that, nothing of note to update with.

So my LJ paid subscription automatically renewed for a year and I'm kicking myself for not being on top of the auto payments. :| It's not like I use this thing hardly as much as I used to. Once upon a time.

Nothing of interest to update with, really...

• Holidays were great, no complaints there.

• Not going to Katsu, going to be elsewhere that weekend. Really really looking forward to it. A mini vacation of sorts to a place we've never been. :D It'll be an adventure.

• Attempting to hit up Connecticon in addition to AnimeBoston, AnimeNEXT, WickedFaire, AnimeUSA, Big Apple Comic Con and/or NYAF/NYCC. Bastards booked it the same weekend.

• No new cosplay plans on the horizon. Saving the money to get away and do things instead.

• Joined a gym and started working out. Getting back into shape, getting back the tone I used to have, and shedding off some inches. Lot of cosplay is gonna have to get modified. Harley in particular makes me cringe just thinking about. She's already fairly loose on me. More so than I'd like it to be... particularly that corset. :\


Oh and yea, still alive. ^^;
And off to stop procrastinating and start cleaning before lachlana gets here. x_X;

Merry Christmas everyone. :)

I've just emerged from a 12 hour long cocoon I'd climbed into last night upon getting home from the usual Christmas Eve dinner/presents exchange at my parents house. I somewhat successfully baked a Kahlua-coffee angel food cake that came out a little tilted and sweet, and thought I wasn't going to make it to midnight with just how exhausted I was. XD Useful presents for the house in hand, I stumbled up the stairs and promptly fell asleep. Not even the cats knew what hit them.

Today is going to involve a lot of vegging and probably video game playing because I'm home alone and still sleepy. lachlana will be coming over tomorrow morning and staying 'till New Year's Eve. :D &hearts Planning to hit up Sherlock Holmes tomorrow, and sneak in a photoshoot sometime this weekend. Christmas gathering with the LI crew won't be happening 'till after the New Year. XD Extra couple of weeks of shopping!

Nothing of note has been taking place this past month. I disappeared into Assassin's Creed II for weeks on end, and Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines has no grabbed me quite so fiercely. The control on the PSP are a little wonky, but I wanna know what happens damnit.

Feels like this month came and went really quickly.

And now that my train of thought went out the window....

I've been absolutely lazy on LJ. :\ Hideously so, and since I don't have too much to update with I'll just say that AnimeUSA was effin' awesome and so damn needed. I missed that con. It's on the schedule for next year. :D For the first time in the history of cons, we actually got pics. Lots of them. 300+ of them. Still haven't gone through them all. Not even close, but there's a few up on DA between mine and lachlana's galleries.






( More under cut... )

More over on DA.

/lazy entry.

You know... I honestly do not understand why anyone in their right mind and a proper head on their shoulders would think that taking a topic like this to the ballots was a good idea. It's been done time and time again and the results are the same. This was close... this was very close and I applaud the efforts in Maine yesterday.

Sadly, it wasn't enough.

Where does the logic come in, though? Where does it make sense to let every single fucking douchebag out there rule out whether or not other human beings are awarded the same rights? How does it make sense that this is even an issue to take to the popular masses when it is clear that more than half of this country is just as bigoted, closed minded and intolerant of something that is not fit the typical white, middle class nuclear family with 2.5 kids and a nice white picket fence. It's disgusting.

It's positively... disgusting.

And believe me, you all know I'm not the type to go around waving rainbow flags, but it bothers me that a question of civil rights is being put in the hands of those to which it does not pertain to!! If these people want so much to safeguard the sanctity of marriage, then by all means make divorces illegal again. Take a look at those rates and tell me marriage is sacred these days. A bunch of bullshit is what it is.

Grow a fucking backbone and stop being so bloody intimidated by something that will not make a lick of difference in the way you live your lives! Fuck. Just fuck.

I was so furious this morning and later on, reading a news article on MSNBC while at work, it enraged me even more because those same people stomping down on someone else's rights, on someone else's freedom have the gall to equate some sicko's bestiality stunts to the efforts of gay activists.

Just look at this: http://world-news.newsvine.com/_news/2009/11/04/3460812-sc-man-gets-3-years-for-sex-with-horse

This is the country that deems itself a powerhouse of the world? A great example to be followed? The land of the free?



Don't make me laugh.
