Return

Back from Jacon. Have to say I had fun, moreso than last year. Last year was kind of lonely, and this one was much less as such. Partially due to company, partially due to being smart enough to stay at the hotel where it was goin' down, and partly due to having Trillian exported onto my notebook computer.

Events of the weekend:


None of my AMVs were shown. Which would have been fine provided that the rest of the vids didn't suck. I mean, there was a Devil May Cry video in which the song made no match whatsoever. More Than Toast again took top honors, which normally is the case with excellent productions, but this time it wasn't exactly an extraordinary video by any stretch. Best Action, I feel, instead should have been pushed to Best of Show and another action found to fill the spot.

To be honest, though, during that competition I saw something I never thought I would ever live to see. A non-shitty Naruto video. That one was really very good. And then there was the other one.

The mood of that AMV competition seems to be one of "far too serious than it ought to be." It should be fun, not all overly dramatic. I'll enter them in Yasumicon and I'm sure the outcome will be different.


I took far fewer pictures than I intended. I'm a lazy photographer, and for some reason it felt heavy and I didn't want to go through the gestures of taking snaps.


Su was there, and tried to teach me how to rave. The funny part? I was fine that night and the next day but here I am two days later and I'm sore. Great, my body's got a 48 hour latency. Huh? Ah, aren't you nosy. Well, I believe things are sizing up for us to be really good friends, and it pleases me.


I was told I wasn't someone's type. The manner in which it came out was pretty amusing to me. The finest moment of that little tirade of "Gee, Manx, you suck" was that I am full aware I'm not her type. But, shit, girl, play along a little. Bah, you're no fun. It's not deceptive if everyone involved is AWARE it's just for fun and nothing serious is intended.


All functions and events involving hentai were far more cerebral and entertaining than expected. I highly recommend them to anyone IF they're strong enough to shrug off the stigma of being labelled a pervert. Although the stigma isn't really there anymore. Please, there was a TON of yaoi encouraged events and behavior. 1992 and "that's not anime!!!" this ain't.


Someone I always kind of thought looked at me indifferently seems to be warming up. And out of that I'm warming up, too. It's important, then, to reiterate: One Knows Nothing. Something that nobody ever asks me is why I think the way I do about people and life in general. Well, it's because anytime I have the arrogance to assume I know what's going on in someone else's head I'm usually schooled in the fact that I know nothing when I try to uncover what's going on by going direct to the source. She and I've got a get together this weekend. I'm very excited.


Oh, and, by the way...


YOU ARE FRYLOCK -- A large, hovering box of french
fries, Frylock is the voice of reason for the
Aqua Teens. He is very smart, owns a computer,
and is often exasperated by his imcompetent
roomates. He does the majority of the
crime-solving for the Hunger Force, and without
him, very little would be accomplished.


What 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force' character are you?
