Yay, Animethon was this weekend! Whoop it up now, y'all. Word. *Hand thing* Started off the festivities the night before with Lancedolf's birthday which was filled with Spiderman 2 and chocolate cakey times at my house. (Unlike it's predecessor, Spiderman 2 was cool. All they have to do is get rid of all the badly-acted sap exchanges between M-Jay and Peter and fill it in with more freaking Spiderman fighting Doc Oc on the top of a freaking bullet train and there's an all-star super hero movie there.)

We all camped out at my house Friday night, and Saturday morning dragged ourselves out of the house on four or five hours of sleep to make it to Grant MacEwan by nine so we could park ourselves at the front of the mile-long line for the vendor's room and wait for an hour until we were allowed in. AND MY KAKASHI PLUSHY WASN'T EVEN THERE. The one main reason I was so hyped to get in first this year and snatch myself one and they weren't even selling Naruto plushies this year. I wanted to cry. *Sits on the step pitifully waving her reserved twenty dollar bill from her back pocket* Guess I'll have to have him shipped to me in a little box from overseas. Saaa~ I missed out on the Full Metal Alchemist Edward pillow I saw too, damnit, I should have grabbed it when I saw it the first time. I did, however, buy two Kakashi key chains and a Gaara one, a handful of pins, and volumes two and three of Saiyuki.

Then Amanda, Jenny, and I all went to "Name That Tune" and the Amanda and me half of team three sat there very much useless and let the amazing thing that is the Lau sisters and their combined anime music trivia power keep us in the running. (We didn't win though. -__-;) I went to the Fanfiction panel which was disappointing because all it ended up being was a bunch of people trying to brag about and advertise their own stories and squabbling over insanely stupid topics. "I've written a stupider crossover than you have!" "Have not! I've written Evangelion and Harry Potter crossovers, stupid!" "I've done Gundum Wing, Inu Yasha, and Invader Zim!" "Ooh, dat's stupid!" "Stupid, ya, haw haw haw!" XP The Yaoi and Shounen-ai panel followed though, and that was obviously a whole lot of better. (Turns out Central Park Media is launching an affiliate company called BeBeautiful that will focus on licensing popular yaoi titles in America, which means there will be more English yaoi manga for me to waste my money away on. This may or may not turn out as a good thing. *Sweatdrop*)

Saturday night was wrapped up with the cosplay contest, which had some really awesome entries this year and almost makes me want to hop on the bandwagon next year as a sexy ANBU squad leader or something equally appealing that I won't look stupid in. You can't not look good as an ANBU. It's not freaking possible.

Saturday we all went back and slept at Amanda's, then got up and went straight back to Animethon the next morning. I didn't stay as long on Sunday though -- enough time to watch the two angsty-est episodes of FMA; sit through the first two episodes of Saiyuki which was enough time for me to firmly decide that the anime sucks compared to the manga and isn't worth my time; popped in for one episode of Witch Hunter Robin and two episodes of Get Backers; then one more quick browse through the vendors where I got to declare my bragging rights and general awesomeness over Chris about being right regarding Wolf's Rain already being out for sale, MUH HA HA HA HA!!! -- and then I went home. It was a good weekend though. *^^*

I was browsing through NarutoFan's fanart archive and laughed my ass off when I saw this comic strip. Does this just make me seem sick and twisted? *Shifty eyes* LOOK, A PIGEON!!! In any case, copyright to bloodstainedhands.

And now more comics of a somewhat less incesty type nature but still as funny:

The Truth by clingwrap
X-Men Dream Issue #1, X-Men Dream Issue #2, and Why, Wolfwood? All copyright by A. Mauchline of the hilarious webcomic, Nice Hair.

Holy shit, it's past twelve already. I hope I don't work early tomorrow.
