Kame No Tabi (A Turtle's Travels)

Ooohh!! I found some comic con 2009 piccys I hadn't seen before! :) Here's me and Jenn!



I found it HERE!

There's me in dere! and lots of my buds! Like Robina, kassia, mandyraej, tokka, stephan, myr, and others :D NYAR!

that reminds me... I need to post my comic con wrapup.... I have it almost finished, I'm just lazy and forgetful.

OOoohhh I divided up my list! (and rearranged it so the stuff I still need to do is on top :)

Also, just so those affected(Me, soliloquy, mandy_nyar, amandatello, kinectra, stalker_of_doom, & lindentreeisle) know, we will be taking an EZ ride shuttle from the airport to Lucky Ds at 12:30PM on July 21st (curbside in front of Southwest airlines) The price is $5 each plus a tip for the driver (I think if we all tip him a dollar or two it should be good)personal note: Call Janet if there is any problems 619-297-7643. Confirmation # is 72152

Also, so soliloquy, mandy_nyar, amandatello & I know, the shuttle will be there at 4:30AM to pick us up on July 27th and take us to the airport. (blech for ungodly early) The return trip is $8 a person.

( and a lot of these things are done now! Yay! )

Ok, I found a cool service. It's Rebtel.com
If you will be making calls to/from Australian numbers *cough*reijiro75*cough*amandatello*cough* then you should get this FREE service BEFORE comic con and learn how to make a "smart call" http://www.rebtel.com/en/How-it-works/How-to-make-a-smart-call/ (Basically, you call your friend, and have them call you back on the number that shows on their caller ID and then you stay on the line until you are both on the line. It's a workaround, BUT ITS FREE! NYAR!)

((Gawd, I sound like a flippin' Telemarketer, but this service REALLY works (I've called amandatello a few times with it) and it's awesome that it's FREE! NYAR!))

I MEAN IT! GO SIGN UP FOR IT! (and if you get a call saying "call me back!" do it! It's legit!)

[Poll #1424183]

Ok, here's the dealio. I have video taped Con trips before, but I'm considering making a tape for remembrance's sake this year at CCI in San Diego. (since it's the TMNT's 25th anniversary and all) Do you think I should? Just a quick poll ;D

I had a weird dream last night about Jenn(soliloquy), amandatello, cynlee and I going to New York city (sorry, mandy_nyar, you weren't there, but my subconscious put cynlee there to annoy me instead). Anyways, we got there and the place we were staying allowed kitties, so we had a ton of kitties in the hotel room. However, for some reason the cats needed thier own bed, so Jenn and I ended up having to sleep in the hallway :p It was really strange o_0

It wasn't as scary as the dream I had the night before though. I dreamt that Lucky D's called me up and told me that I had booked the wrong week, and so we had no place to stay for SanD comic con. I woke up in a panic! Blech.

I think I had that dream because I'm a bit worried about WHERE we are going to stay in New York. God, I need to get on top of that. AND AMANDATELLO, YOU NEED TO EMAIL ME SO WE CAN SIT TOGETHER ON THE PLANE!

I will post sometime this week about the accommodations for SDCC and such, but to end this, here's a pic I had up on my website for a long time that I enjoy. TMNT as KISS (Or Kiss as TMNT, I can't decide):


I scanned this a LONG time ago out of wizard Magazine. No idea who drew it...

First the bad news. Contrary to what the CCI guide and website says, Peter Laird will NOT be at comic con international 2009. He says so here (scroll down to PL's fourth comment if the link takes you to the top of the page)
Sadness.

But to cheer you all up, here is an awesome TMNT pic I found:



Isn't it perty? I could watch it for hours ...

BTW, what *IS* a bookplate? and what does "tipped in" mean?

EDIT:

Tipped In: A separately printed illustration, etc., cut to the size of the leaf of a book and pasted along the inner margin of the appropriate text page prior to gathering. Such an illustration is said to be a "paste in." Tipping is a time-consuming, and therefore costly, aspect of book production. (Source)

Bookplate: A bookplate is usually a label pasted into the front of the book-- sometimes it says "this book is the property of: " and then you write your name on it. (source: cynlee)

1st of all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY amandatello!!!

NYAR!

Now...
I am PSYCHED! ;D Amandatello has confirmed she is coming to San D Con 2009! :D Yayness! :D

Eep. I am sorry about seeming if I am "taking over", Cyn! :-O It's just my Leo-isms coming to the surface. I just want to make sure we all get rooms on at least the same floor, if not adjoining to each other. Since we now have 9, tentative to 10 (kinectra is seriously considering staying @ Lucky D's) I prolly will call and make sure we can get 3 rooms together. NYAR! :D

I AM HAPPY SPAZZY!

Now if it would only stop blizzarding out :p yuck

Finally! I'm finishing up this Meme! :D


Today's happiness:

DAY 7 (01/08/2009):

+ I came into work this morning and my co-worker, Susan, hands me THIS!:

Yayness! A TMNT Hoodie! :D And only 50 cents! (much cheaper than $29.99 @ Hot Topic! :)

+ and ALSO, I called Lucky D's and talked to Rob, and reserved a 4 person dorm room for lindentreeisle, thegreatmandyii, soliloquy, and myself for July 20th thru the 28th For COMIC CON INTERNATIONAL! YAY!!! I may have booked too many days, but once I get my plane tickets, I'll call back and adjust the reservation. It's better to overbook than underbook. ;D


HAPPINESS MEME:
Day 1 (12/17/2008)
Day 2 (12/18/2008)

Ok, so here's a scoop. I wil be leaving for San Diego Comic Convention on July 25th. I have finalized my cosplay schedule.

Thurs: Normal clothes or Gakuen Kino... not sure, but I want to be comfy so I can search thru comic boxes.
Friday: Son Goku from Saiyuki
Saturday: Red Lolita
Sunday: Gakuen Kino! :)

Here are my todo lists for each costume-
Gakuen Kino:
Here is my layout I gave to my sewer, she's awesome and I've used her for a few costumes, so I trust her:

So, as you can see, all I need to do is:
+ find white shoes
+ finish making the holster. *sigh* I wish the damn dollar store gun had come with one
+ cut the extra pieces off the green army pouches bought at the surplus store

Son Goku:
+ Figure out how to make the diadem/headband/power limiter
+ get stick for bo weapon
+ wrap stick in red tape and add balls onto ends
+ modify old tennis shoes with extra top parts
+ Make Gojgo's weapon
+ Practice styling hair into spikes

Lolita
+ Add insoles to shoes
+ find cute purse with LONG strap (preferably with "mikey pocket")
+ find where headpeice dissapeared to
+ wash Mikey... *blink* ooohh! I like that one!

I will prolly post tomorrow with the list of things I want to do at san D and more stuff about the saiyuki group cosplay.
