Gah, Ohayocon!

Ohayocon was, as usual, the last weekend of January. And as cons tend to do, it got me all out of swing--I had SIX panels to run that weekend! SIX!!! I spent so much time making powerpoints in the days before the convention it isn't funny and yes, I should have had them done earlier, but I still had to talk to my co-panelists about how we were planning to do everything and it was terrible.

Anyway, after a few days of playing catch-up for school stuff (I missed some important things) and then figuring out some other stuff, I THINK I'm back on top. So I'll return to my ABC stuff next week, this week will be...other stuff. And a LOT of catching up on anime. I've fallen so far behind it's ridiculous and I place the blame squarely on my boyfriend because once we started dating I was with him a good 80% of the time.

Moving on. Right now I happen to have an episode of Mirai Nikki open in another window and it's fantastic and I am so in love with this show I can't even tell you.

But back to Ohayocon. I bought stuff! Forgive the crappy pictures, I took every single one of them with my phone.

First, the unrelated objects. I bought this guy:

His name is Professor Lumpkin. I found him in Artist Alley, and due to Ohayocon's "no fanart" policy (which I loathe, by the way) he's obviously an original design from wherever I bought him. I honestly just thought he was adorable so that's $25 well-spent, as far as I'm concerned.

Then, I found a table with a bunch of the CLAMP no Kiseki things for sale. As a huge CLAMP nerd (I'm watching Tsubasa finally, and I'm keeping a running list of every CLAMP character who appears as I go since I've read like all of their other work) I felt the need to buy one--especially since they were only $15! I got the Magic Knight Rayearth/Angelic Layer one, since those are two of my favorite series by the group. And it came with the chess pieces seem above--the black Mokona, the guy from Tokyo Babylon (I haven't read that series yet, sadly) and Misaki! Yay!

Everything else I got...well...here:

Yeah. I really, really love Mami. The keychain thingy (at the bottom) was like $12, and the first thing I bought of her. Then I found the mug, and there went another like...$21. The cover on top of it has her little flowery symbol. I doubt I'll actually USE the mug, but I love owning it. And on Sunday, I found the figure--only $20! I was so excited. So she stands on top of her mug and it's awesome.

Ohayocon was great this year...at least for me. I obsess over the feedback threads, so I know a lot of other people had issues, including a few of my friends, but for me the con was a success mostly because my panels went well and I got to see my friends. Oh, and subject my boyfriend to a yaoi panel I was running. That was excellent, teehee.

Hmm...that's all I really have to say right now. Plus in a few days I'll have an announcement. It's something I've been thinking about for awhile, and I'm finally deciding to throw it up.

Later guys!
