I finally have some news on the Hellsing OVAs (aka Hellsing Ultimate) since being acquired for distribution by FUNimation!!!! In my (sorta) weekly newsletter from Rob's Anime Corner Store he announced that at AX last weekend FUNi had FINALLY picked up the rights to volumes 5-7 ( Read more... )

I've had my eye on this particular shed for a couple weeks to store all my cosplay stuff (I need to be able to walk into the room without moving dress bags and wig boxes x_x), and last night my dad went out and bought it for me! It's an 8' x 10', 6'8" tall, lockable doors, customizable shelves, optinoal extension packs, air vents, shatter-proof ( Read more... )

Last week I sent a (very) lengthy email to ReelzChannel, a TV network dedicated to movies and news about them. It's a pretty good station, having whole shows on cinema news and updates and possibilities, a show that's just trailers for movies, games, and TV shows, another show with music videos from movies, and other things (in addition to the ( Read more... )

I’ve been thinking about this for a good long while and I’ve had a realization. I’ve found out that Hulu has all 50 episodes of the Young Hercules series from the late 90s. This made me very, very happy beyond belief 8D Well, the series is over a decade old and while Xena and Hercules: The Legendary Journey are already re-released on DVD (again, ( Read more... )

Anime Mid-Atlantic starts tomorrow and I'll be heading down a little before noon. Based on their tentative schedule on their site, it doesn't look like there's a whole lot I'd want to go to. The Clockwork Dolls concert I definitely want to hit up (and photograph :)) along with Masquerade (that's a given). I'm a bit grateful there's not a lot of ( Read more... )

*Note: I have not seen the stage musical, the silent film, nor read the book it’s based on. I’m just going by the 2004 movie. So, this does contain spoilers. For some reason I’ve been hooked on Phantom of the Opera and now I’ve found myself thinking on things like motivation and mentality of the characters, esp. the Phantom himself; he’s a ( Read more... )

I miss my friends. I really, really do. A lot of my friends from high school and college have all kinda floated away and we’ve lost touch with each other or only contact each other once in a blue moon. Another friend has moved about 2 hours north of me and I can’t see her as often as I’d like anymore. Since I left the JRR forums, I realized how ( Read more... )

Soooo.....I've been researching intensely for the past few days on how to recreate Arwen's coronation gown, and I realized just how difficult and time-comsuming it will really be. I've decided to forego the Simplicity pattern for the whole thing; I'm thinking I might use it to construct the underdress instead since all you see is the collar, upper ( Read more... )

Soooo I’m almost 100% finished with my current cosplays! I’m just waiting on the wig for Kaya (Node of Scherzo), and the base paint for Earenniel (Lord of the Rings OC) to get here. Once they get here, I’ll try and get my mom to takes some pictures so I can finally share them with the world! Mwahahahaha!!! [my ambitions are high ^_ ( Read more... )

Star Trek (2009) - Did anyone else notice how Spock Prime's belt when he was on Delta Vega has a Goddess symbol on it? A full moon flanked by two crescents. I wonder why a Vulcan would have this symbol on his person at all (of course I'm probably reading too much into it and the costume designers just thought ti was pretty). Weirdness :/
