And randomly out of nowhere: here is a Paradise Kiss opening and ending theme screen capture gallery! I’m working on a new theme for this anime blog, and I want to improve the look of the gallery. Instead of just having a bunch of images, I’m going to be styling the automatically generated [...]

So, about that blog post about Anime North 2009… I attended the convention with xxStephy, dressed in cosplay as Mario and Luigi! We wanted to do a group badly, and ended up with a Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach cosplay group. The twist? We genderbent the characters, so we had female plumbers and a [...]

Anime North season is almost upon us! I’m participating in a small reverse-gender Super Mario Brothers cosplay group. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun! I’m short and a little squishy so I’m being Mario, while my tall and thin friend is going to be Luigi. Maria and [...]

Over the past few months, I’ve been getting notifications once in a while alerting me that my anime music videos have been removed for violating the terms of service.  Since the videos are made with both copyrighted footage and copyrighted music, it makes sense that they would be removed. At the same time, it’s sad to [...]

I haven’t updated this anime blog in a really really long time.  Mostly because of laziness, hee.  (Sorry! =O)  I’ve been wanting to update Sparkle Sparkle, so I updated to the newest version of Wordpress through Dreamhost’s one click install….and then was locked out of my site.

Recently I bought an external hard drive to make my laptop a little happier - it was exploding from all sides with anime and manga downloads because I seem to have a problem keeping up with my files.  I’m not that attached to anime downloads, (I pretty much delete them as I watch them), but [...]

I am so excited! There are just seven days separating myself from Japan. The months since the flight was booked have just flown (har har) by! I’m fairly certain that I have everything in order… I’m at a loss for words!  I fail at blogging due to excitement and the sheer amount [...]

  Last weekend I travelled to Ottawa for some random fun as a break from school.  It was a five hour bus ride all alone but it was definitely worth it to meet up with my long distance boyfriend (teehee).  I’ve been to Ottawa one time many years ago but I was never able to stop [...]

I’ve been cosplaying for years but I never joined cosplay.com because when I first started, I had an anti-positing-photos-of-self-online stance.  That’s probably a good thing because I started cosplaying when I was a minor.  I don’t feel as weird posting photos now so I’m not as worried, and instead see archiving my cosplay sewing online [...]
