Aeons Returning?

In the three odds months that it has been in limbo, it seems that I have several people on Iwaku pressing me to being Aeons back. So what does that mean? Well, hopefully a stronger, non-emo centered cast. Yeah, it is set in the Vatican and they are vampire hunter; though I'll be bringing in more issues of WW2 into the plot since most people assumed that it took place then anyways. I'll post more when the time comes.

Animu Milwaukee

 

I never thought I'd actually ever go to an anime convention in my life. Yeah, I am a nerd and anime certainly falls into that 'sterotype' well. It was held at UWM a little more than a week ago in the Union. I went in 1870s British stuff, mostly because you'd think at least one person would have seen the cult classic Zulu, I guess not. Plus I didn't feel like actually attempting to do any cosplaying at the time.

So what was it like? Off the bat, it was interesting. It is easy to make fun of people doing eccentric things, and reenacting and cosplaying certainly are. The event was fairly small and it could probably have used some more signs saying when events and locales where. Yeah, they have a website but that was only a minor setback.


Anyways, the cosplaying contest was neat. I like the amount of details people put into what they wore. A lot of Caramelldansen. I personally liked the person dressed up as the Yu-Gi-Oh Card.

God Bless Photoshop

Yeah, so I was pretty much digging through some odd photoshops I did a long time ago. This one I found humorous mostly because it proves anything can be made dirty. That is all.

Strawberry Panic still Scares me

 

Yeah, I like to complain about anime... Because I like to rant about pointless things that will piss fanboys off; which makes me laugh since I forced them to read my blog. Yay, more traffic. Anyways, as I said in 2008 SP has come home to the US. My opinions of the show haven't really changed too much thus by watching parts of in English. Downside, same old annoying squeaky voices for 'cute' characters, etc. I mean either way, it follows the cheesy soap opera like mentality it had back in Japan.

However, in this age of political correctness, I'm guessing any sort of press with cartoons about lesbians or bi-sexuals is a good thing because looking at the back of the DVD boxes are lulzie. I 'almost' would get the view that this show is a step forward in LGST rights. Which it hardly is. I mean seriously, did they not watch the series at all before making these reviews. Sure, it is not the worst yuri animu out there but it lacks anything I would consider profound for progress.

As I have said this sort of view makes for great humor, especially with an anime of this nature.

What Ever Happened to Aeons?

 

A reasonable question. Main reason I cancelled the plotline on Iwaku was due to two main issues: 1.) Too many characters and 2.) Didn't go off as well as I wanted it to. Of course, I am not going to blame my fellow co-authors; however, I am seeking to try and make a few short stories based on the events proposed between Palonis and myself. I am going to try it for my Creative Writing course since my professor is willing to read crap I write for stories. Personally, I want this to be a chance to break away from my normal plot devices and create more believable characters and a more solid plot.

Danish Helmet

 

This is such an odd looking helmet. It is a model 1923, based upon examples used in the early Middle Ages by Danish knights. Main reason for posting this, not much. I just bought one from IMA because it was a very reasonable price compared to E-bay.
