Anime North Recap – Part One

By the grace of the Gods, I have managed to return to my home in one piece after the Chaotic, crazy, and splendiferous anime-and-fandom drenched weekend known as Anime North.  It would be my first time travelling to the massive convention - quite possibly the biggest in Canada - and my first time travelling to …

Emerald City Comic Con RECAP

Okay...it's been a while.  Over a month since my last update.  It wasn't enough that life got in the way.  It's more like life crashed into my apartment with a bulldozer, leaving mass destruction in its wake. I'm sorry...I'm so so sorry. Between my thesis work, my employment, and my child, I haven't had a …

Sailor Moon S – Mistress 9 Cosplay

While I study Magical Girl series in academia, I'm usually my son's cosplay partner.  So that means you can usually find me dressed up as a Pokemon or even as Totoro from Tonari no Totoro  (My Neighbor Totoro).

This Week in Magical Girls – Nov. 20-26

I'm so sorry for the silence - it's been a busy time here in my part of the world, what with cleaning, decluttering, and being a mom.  On one hand, I have one page of my second chapter done, so YAY! - I'm not a slacker.  Furthermore, I got this lovely twitter icon done for …
