onto Otakon

[xparrot]

Off to Baltimore tomorrow for Otakon - my 5th now. Don't have any especial plans, it's just gonna be me and gnine wandering around cosplay gawking and having fun. And buying manga. Does that count as a plan? There's money burning a hole in my pocket that could be Japanese volumes of Yu-Gi-Oh instead! *ahem*

I picked up Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander at Borders a few days ago, because it was on sale and I enjoyed the movie and have been meaning to check out the books. 40 pages in and loving it, I'm so weak to 19th century and pseudo-19th century literary embellishment. I can only take so much of it at a given time, but for the length of a book or two it is such a delightful read. Makes me smile. That the official name of the novels is the "Aubrey/Maturin Series" also makes me smile...wonder if anyone's ever explained to the publishers the alternative reading of the "/"?

I'm not cosplaying this year, though my sister is making an anime cloak...well, if you see a girl with long brown hair with X-parrot on their nametag, that should be me, unless there's more dorks running around with a really silly pseudonym. please do say hello if you happen to see me, I like meeting fellow fen, too! ^^
