I have to have somewhere to get this off my chest.

No one reads this blog anyway, so here I can scream it from the rooftops.

I HATE ANIME!

I always have. I remember in junior high when all this business started with Pokemon... or wait even before that. I remember when Totoro came out when I was a little kid.

I am freaking sick of looking at it and hearing about it. It has taken over cartoon artform.

I hate the subculture it has caused here in America.
You are in America, deal with it. If you like Japan so much, Otaku, why do you marry it? Or just freakin' move there and leave me alone. I hate the little funny smiley faces it caused, I hate pocky, I hate it when people pepper their language with Japanese to sound cool

I know I am not suppose to complain. But no one reads this blog anyway. It is like me yelling into a hole that the king has goat's ears.

I have a friend in Japan. I respect their culture and I understand not all of Japan is like that. Why do we fuel the fire? Why do people buy that crap they brought over here?
It is like when the Japanese gave us Kudzu to help with erosion. Now it is everywhere. You can't kill it. Is this thing also impossible to kill?

What probably makes me a hypocrite is that I sell to these people.
I sew costumes for cosplayers to go to anime conventions and eat pocky and giggle like fangirls in.

I would love to just sew costumes of good American things, but there is no money in that.
Why oh why oh why?

Land sakes.

Arise and Seize the Day

Lee came back up to Hartselle tonight to spend the weekend with his family and to see me of course!

We ran at the park a little bit. We are going to make it a habit. We are!

My mom took off work today to spend some quality time with me. We went shopping at Scottsboro Unclaimed Baggage. It had been a while since I had been. It will definitely be a while until I go again. It was bit of a disappointment.

Lee broke out the old Newsies soundtrack today. I love it.
I want to learn to play all those songs on my ukulele.

finished projects

here is one
Another one

We'll meet again

so #13 came out quite a while ago.
Yeah Bart died. Apparently they had it planned the whole time and the covers of 14 and 15 were just to trick us.
On the good news end though, Wally came back and brought Mark Waid with him. However long that lasts.

we just move on

Late night sitting and thinking.
Jay and Jenna spent the night over here tonight. I am at my dad's house.
They are such wonderful kids.
I beat the Minish Cap today. That game was entirely too short, but very very fun.
The Flash #13 comes out tomorrow.
I am sewing tomorrow since I got the sizes from the man that ordered the Ordon Link costume.
I have to sew a collar and some boot covers for Interplanetary tomorrow too.

Do you ever get those times when you are just tired of things being the way they are? I am so ready for a change. Maybe it was just the way I was raised, but I have never been one to hang around after the show was over.
"I'm not the dying swan."
Great lyrics. I just wish I had graduated already. I wish I was just about to get married.
I just need a change of scene.
Summer makes me want to just live in the lake or just hit the road and not care where we go, as long as we go to Dallas or Austin. :)
or somewhere where there is cool and cheap fabric

midna cloak

The Midna cloak that I am sewing for a commission I got on the internet is coming along nicely. I had to rework the hood though. I am in the process of sewing in the lining. After that I have to sew down the white details around the sleeves and hood. Starting tomorrow I will begin painting the design on the back. This will probably take the most amount of time considering I can't afford to screw up.
I am really nervous about painting on it though.

I guess I am going to go back to work. I will post some pictures later.
