Though I'm happy to have Friday off, and a bonus hour off Thursday...I'm really doing nothing for this weekend. Minus the occasional movie (Wanted and Hancock). Granted, much geeking out over the finale of Doctor Who will happen.

(some should expect texting madness btw)

Hope everyone else has a great weekend, be it at home, out of town, or at Anime Expo.

Lu

(I think maybe 10 people on my friends list get the joke about the new Doctor Who Magazine cover).

After some years, I finally got another copy of The 10th Kingdom. :) I fricken love this mini-series.

Ha, I remember back when I first got into it, a group of friends and I were going to do a big costume group. Funny, I only speak to two of the members of that said group now. How times have changed...

I still <3 Wolf though. He's a gem.


Lu

My favorite photo was posted on my cosplay.com account - go check it out!

Both photos courtesy of Rob at www.livewire-productions.com

Its just too bad few people realize how many details went into this outfit. Not only 100% made, but every edge is double stitched, matched, or serged.

Guess not all Deathnote cosplay is from Hot Topic :P

Btw, please be kind with your Indiana Jones spoilers! I don't mind basic reviews, but just be mindful of those who will see it this weekend.

Now, if you totally blow it, I will retaliate with a spoiler of my own in your comment section that will crush any hope you had of being surprised by a particular blockbuster due out this July.

It was tested on Kelly, she approved, so beware.

Lu

I would actually state this is one of the best photos I've ever taken. Doesn't hurt Mckayla makes for one of the best models evah. :)

One of the things I took away from JACON, was that people do like and appreciate my work (in one way or another). I had two groups tell me how much they liked the photos I took of them (in conjunction with Wasabi Photoshoots), as well as seeing everyone enjoy Chris and Angie as the King and Queen of All Cosmos.

So, in the end, even if people want to bitch that I didn't deserve an award for Misa, I still was given positive feedback on just about everything else I did for the con.

Just took a day of rest and drinking to realize that. Go fig.

[edit] OMG THE RUMOR IS TRUE!!! MOFFAT TAKING OVER FOR RTD FOR DOCTOR WHO SEASON 5!!!!

Damn glad I got him to sign my banana. :3


Lu

So yeah...I was trying to make myself a 6th LJ icon last night, and just couldn't figure out what to do.

Since so many on my LJ friend's list are creative with their icon-age...I am turning to you guys.

If you're bored, or generous, please make me an LJ icon

It can be anything really. Movies, theater, landscape, cosplay, whatever. As you can see, I have no significant trend in my liking. Well, not too obvious a trend at least.

So yeah, anyone want to make me an icon, go ahead. If not, than...not?



Lu

Tell me two things you think I should cosplay:
+One you think I would really like to do.
+One you think I might be suited for, but not consider myself.

--------
Honestly I'm just curious what you guys would say. :3


Lu

HOLY SHIT! GARETH DAVID LLOYD AKA IANTO FROM TORCHWOOD IS GOING TO BE AT DRAGON-CON!!!

Not to mention James Marsters too.


This is definitely the year I was meant to go to this convention!

Lu

Torchwood: "Exit Wounds"
-Very powerful episode. I really have no idea where they are going to go with the next season, but it won't be the same. Loved a particular rogue time agent more than ever. I hope to see him more.

Doctor Who: "Partners in Crime"
-Fucking loved it! I love Donna more now than ever, loved the Doctor, loved the story, the 'monsters', and especially that little bit at the end. I cannot wait for the rest of this season.


And, to those who bitch about either episode, whatever, I disagree with you entirely.


Lu

What do you think makes a truly GOOD cosplay photo?

I'm only curious because I've lately enjoyed looking at the Cosplay.com photo showcase, of which the majority of the photos I can flat out say are very good (while some leave more to be desired).

I'm just curious, the opinions of those on my F-list, being cosplayers, what you look for in a good cosplay/costume photo.



Lu

What's one word you would use to describe me? If you can't think of an overall word, what's the first one that comes to mind?

Comment, and I'll give you my word for you.

Since my paid account is winding up at the end of the week, I figured its a good point to re-do a new LJ layout.

Though I agree its much darker (even with a smiling Sweeney...go fig), but simple and clean. Plus way easier to navigate.

Its going to be weird adjusting to 6 icons. Two of my favorites I transplanted onto various forums (wasabi/oa/etc), leaving me one open spot for randomness.

And sorry guys, I'm keeping the annoying Doctor Void Dance! icon, because it took me months to finally FIND it.

Um, oh yeah and Jacon 2008 has some badass guests, seriously, I'm not a big VA fan, but they hit the nail (three times) on the head. Woot.

{edit} Promo photo from the upcoming Steven Moffat episode(s) of Doctor Who.

That's about it, l8tr all.

Lu

Gallifrey One = BEST CONVENTION EVER



More later.


Lu

Good memories.

Lu

Daleks came through and exterminated out several from my friends list. Namely those whom I rarely converse with, don't post, or I have little in common with (to my knowledge).

Close friends, people I talk with on a day to day basis, and so forth were left.

If you feel they made a mistake, please let me know. If you're offended by this, than I apologise, but will point out that not being on an LJ friend's list isn't the end of the world either (that would be being removed from myspace :P).


Lu

(yeah not the American poster, but I like the one with the Queen better, duh)

[edit]
OMG "Time Crash" is amazing!!! OMG SO FUNNY!

:3

I'll definitely say the guest list at next year's FX-Show is shaping up pretty well. For once I've actually seen what most of these people have done.

And actually liked it too.

:3

John and I attended WeddingCon this weekend, and it rocked beyond belief. Likely one of the best weddings I've ever been to.

(and a rather memorable weekend in general)

Congradulations to Tom and Shannon Croom!!!


Lu

...than you should really check out Nightwatch and Daywatch! Seriously, these films are amazing (be sure if you watch Nightwatch to use subtitles, you get an added bonus!).

Seriously, check them out. :D Great stuff!

Lu

In reference to the post about who I think you are, below are the answers. I was kind and put them behind a cut, since there are 20+ pictures there (and some are BIG).

Now you know why it took me so damn long. Also, I will not provide reasons for my choices. These literally are the first characters I thought of when focusing on each individual. So I hope no one is offended :3

( So you wish to know who you are? Check it out here! )


Lu

Comment, and I will post a picture (by doing a re-post) of the fictional character that most reminds me of you.

I'll likely respond next week, to allow maximum responses.

Lu

P.S. Beware :P

Just came back to post this.




Lu out.

I will warn you, the song will get stuck in your head.

Come and visit your good friend Sweeney...!



I've never been so excited for a film as I am for this one.


Lu

I made these at the puppet making panel at Assimilation 2007 (leave it to wasabigirl and her mom to host the best workshop panels out there).



Its sad how much they look like the characters...especially the expressions.



Lu

For dressing as a girl:


I guess the fact I dislike dogs came through. :P


For dressing as a guy:


I think I'm more amused that Feng from Balls of Fury is listed. If I had the ability to dress as him, I so would.

Work has been a whirlwind of training. Though I get anxious over the new position, everyone is very friendly and supportive. The six weeks of training also helps.

At home, I've been doing some sewing (Mickey's NSSH costume), cleaning, fixing, or reading. I've not been on the internet as much, and I actually like that fact. The lack of cable has kept me also from becoming a large couch potato.

Put some things on ebay, old costumes, wallscrolls, manga, etc. You can find a link to my auctions here.

Excited for October aka Halloween to get here. I hope I can bust out my sickenly ghetto costume at a party, or something. Dr. Dakota Block (Grindhouse) is done and pretty much ready for Screamfest. Otherwise, easy breezy.


On the subject of conventions, if you're a science fiction fan, possibly enjoying some Invader Zim with a side of Babylon 5, then I highly recommend going to Assimilation 2007, this September 29 & 30th at the Radisson Worldgate Resort (site of AFO 3).

Seriously guys, this convention takes all the good of ALL conventions out there and blends it with a love of science fiction. From the classics (Star Trek) to the refreshed oldies (Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica), to things you wish to not really forget, but still try (Flash Gordon).

Come on down and enjoy a weekend of great guests, panels, events, and more!



Lu

Congratulations to rcdancer8402, ladyfairydust, mermear, wasabigirl,and animebubbles for winning BEST IN SHOW (Novice/Journeyman) at DRAGONCON 2007

I'm more than happy to see such hard work and dedication get praised and appreciated as it should be.



Lu

[] I've been packing/trashing/getting rid of so much stuff, my apartment is looking quite empty now. It is really setting in that by next week I'll be back in Orlando. I'm partially nervous, partially excited.

[] My Lucy Saxon and Misa Amane / Dakota Block wigs arrived in the mail, and they are absolutely gorgeous! I'm overly excited about these outfits, especially since I've never really tread into the area of gowns or punk style clothing before.

[] I just found out they opened a Jamba Juice right around the corner from my apartment. That's just NOT cool! Always when I'm leaving something good happens locally. >.<

[] If you're looking for manga, comics, toys, wigs, costumes, etc., than go to Zory's Live journal where you can find some nifty deals!

[] Work has been nothing but studying medical payments and every angle of insurance. Its so much information in such a short time, but its sinking in well enough.

[] I'll just be happy when its next weekend. u.u

[] I love it when actors can take a moment to be silly.


Lu

Thanks to the lovely wasabigirl, I got to have a great eyefull of awesome!

Though my prone love of a particular psychopharmicologist makes me eyeball the guy seated next to the guy on the far left with curiousity. It doesn't hurt that Nolan partially admitted (check the faq on IMDB.com) the return of said villain.

Be it true or not, I have plenty of total-and-complete-badassery to enjoy!

To those going, be sure to catch the Anime Human Checkers Match on Friday, as well as the 50's Cosplayback Sock Hop Saturday night, with poodle skirt making panel at 4pm Saturday.

She felt a need to sleep in the sleeve...-_-;


Lu

One of the cutest photos, ever, of Harry Potter cosplay!

>.>;

I was looking through old cosplay photos and found that one, CGed it up a bit, and posted it.

Now I suddenly miss cosplaying Harry Potter ;.; (but with Draco and Tonks in the works, I'll deal).


[edit] OMG OMG I'm so going to have the best Christmas EVER! and if you want to know why, check out the cast/crew list.

This is a reminder to my original Do you want to stay Live Journal post.

I understand people could have missed it, were not on the internet for the last few weeks, or just forgot.
Please comment to this post, and let me know if you wish to remain on my friends list.

If you already have done this, or are friended by me currently, then just enjoy the Dalek CG.


Lu

Yes, I admit I hate those "comment to stay" posts, but I unfortunately have to do one. I have cut just about everyone, so everyone has the opportunity to let me know if they wish to stay or not.

*Not everyone was cut from my friends list, but a majority were.*

My life has changed greatly in the last year, and so have my interests. I don't talk to many that I use to, and vice versa. People change, that's the natural order after all. I've lost interest in many things, even others journals, as many likely have with mine.

And sadly, I have no idea if anyone has real interest in my journal, thus having to literally ask people if they want to stay or not. u_U;

So...

Please comment with interest to stay on my friends list

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

*note, that is a 10 year old boy inside. He made the costume all by himself.



Lu

I actually finished my costume today. Minus a minor bit of hemming, its done. I feel so proud :D

And for viewing pleasures, one of my all-time favorite scenes from "New Earth." Might show some of you why I love the 10th Doctor so much xD



I also made an account on youtube: 1TimeLord4U (1ucifer was taken)

Carry on.

Lu

Here is an AWESEOME gallery of the Animusical III: The Last Crusade!!!.

I recommend everyone to look at it, because honestly, we worked our tails off (120+ costumes, hello!), and everyone should see this amazing work. Yes you should.

In other news, I received my wig for my Anime Festival Orlando costume yesterday, and its absolutely perfect. I really look forward to this (ironically, after I swore I'd not dress from any anime...go fig), namely to be goofing around with mah homies. ~_^





Lu

( I only have one thing to say about the season finale of Heroes... )



That is all.
