Hello, reality.....

After being kind of secluded for two days at a sci-fi/fantasy/anime con, I'm finally getting in touch with real life again (well, as in touch as I usually am). The con was great, although I'm berating myself for not getting my Clow-sama costume done for the Masquerade. I still would have counted in the Young Fan division, and there was only one other entry in that division. Oh well. Me, Squirrel Queen, and Grace if we can get her to come on Saturday might do a MKR thing next year. Speaking of MKR, SQ and I missed all of it. However, we did catch some fansubbed eps of a series neither of had seen before - Love Hina. It combines drama, romance, and comedy, and does it very nicely. I think we saw six eps before we got too hungry and left to get something to eat. We also sat in on a panel discussion on bringing anime to US TV. It was quite interesting. Someone mentioned that Cowboy Bebop, which I know nothing about, other than its supposed to be quite good and is often filed right after CCS in stores, plays on Cartoon Network's Midnight Run. I'm going to have to try and stay up to watch it. Unfortunately, I have an OM meeting tomorrow morning at a time I usually am not awake at, plus I have no idea where it is, and no one to drive me. Crap. AND SQ forgot to give me back my MKR manga. Link's gonna be mad. Oh, a side note - Toonami isn't all bad. Granted, they show horribly dubbed anime, but they're site has online subbed Record of Lodess Wars eps. I've wanted to see that since I first heard the opening theme on an Internet anime radio station and loved it. Awesome. This should keep me busy until Cowboy Bebop is on. I'm trying to broaden my anime horizons. New layout coming soon, most likely Clow or Yue, though Miyako is possible. Depends what mood I'm in....especially after report cards....
