rosdriseSo far this week has been the polar opposite of last. Work is chill and I don't feel the need to murder people. I would have to say things are looking up. Though I just right back into it next week with travel and events and deadlines; so I'll just enjoy this calm right now.
ACen was fun, if very abbreviated. 24 hours is a far cry from the three days I'm used to. I almost feel like I didn't have enough time to truly enjoy it. I arrived and once I had unwound from the last 5 days it was time to go home again. And it made me sad. I did love getting to see everyone, I just wanted to see MORE of you.
One thing is for sure: I'm done with the Artist's Alley. I just don't have the time or desire to put more energy into making things when they just aren't going to be received well by the patrons. I thought I would give it a shot this year since the economy had calmed down a little, but it went about as well as last year. There are just other vendors who are more creative and have better resources... and it's just not where my interest lie.
Having said that, I definitely want to get back into the cosplay game. It's been about 2 years since I last cosplayed and I miss it. The problem I have is that the (very small amount of) anime I watch isn't really cosplay material. I pretty much stick to simple shoujo stories like Fruits Basket and Kimi ni Todoke... and there really isn't anything that interesting to choose from. So, cosplay buddies, let me know your plans so I can play along.
Finished Oh My Lady! and it was very cute if unremarkable. There were elements there for something but it just never stepped up its game. The majority of the episodes just seemed to involve a lot of pivoting and not much plot. Things picked up in the end, but it felt to me like the writer woke up from a nap and realized "Crap, we better finish this". Because while I can see Min Woo falling for Gae Hwa, I wish we could have seen the same from her. Granted, it's the ending I wanted, but it didn't feel earned.
Now I need to catch up on Personal Taste, which kind of bores me actually but I feel committed since I'm on ep 11. It's never really clicked with me and I don't really like any of the characters so I don't know why I'm still watching. There are some fun moments, but it really just kind of drags for me. And Prosecutor Princess, which given the whispers on my flist gets really good?! :D I was loosing steam on that one too. I think I'm on ep 7?
Sunao ni Narenakute continues to be very engaging. I'm enjoying it and it's slightly ridiculous storylines very much. It doesn't hurt that I love all the characters. Though I think Peach and Linda are at the top of my list at the moment. I like Haru, but they could spend a little less time on her since she really didn't have anything meaty until the rooftop confrontation.
The first episode of Tsuki no Koibito didn't disappoint. Though it's going to be hard to root for Kimura since his character is a GIANT dick. I kind of just want Maemi and Shu Mei to go off and be bffs and leave him in their dust.
