  • So hard to relax and just goof off when da kids are around. LOL #
  • @bansheekat I'll miss seeing you at Youmacon this year. Hope you can come to ACen! in reply to bansheekat #
  • Halloween "commissions" almost done. Domo-kun 85%, Banana man 75%. Kids getting excited. ^_^ #
  • Finally finished watching Mezzo yesterday. A so so ending to a so so series, but it was good to watch while working on stuff. #anime #
  • I watched Mezzo on Netflix. Amazing how much anime there is on Netflix now, a lot of good series and movies! It works great on my Xbox 360. #
  • If you have a choice, Netflix is best on the Xbox 360. The interface and performance are much better than on PS3 or Tivo. #
  • Haven't bothered with Netflix on the Wii. No HD on a low powered box, why bother if you have it on Xbox 360, PS3, and Tivo? #
  • Hmm, Netflix on the Wii, might be good for travelling since the box is small and most hotels have wi-fi and component inputs on the TVs. #
  • Wow, a It Gets Better thread (sort of) on 4chan in /b of all places. Sign of the apocalypse? http://bit.ly/dm3UYb #
  • @ButerflySamurai This is the 21st century! Just start writing it on your Blackberry! ^__^ #writing #novels #ebooks in reply to ButerflySamurai #
  • Okay, need to make some stuff happen now! #

Youmacon 2010 Prep

It’s hard to believe, but just 4 more days to Youmacon! As always, I’ve got way too much left to do. The main task is completing two costumes for my youngest ones before I go to Detroit. I’m making Banana man and Domo-kun costumes. My own cosplays for the con just need final touches, the biggest being the ribbons on my Miho. The other touches are largely optional, but stuff I’d like to have done anyway.

It feels kind of weird running off to an anime convention after being laid off. But I’d already registered and made plans for it. And I’m sure it will lift my spirits. The last time I was laid off, we actually went to Disney World and it all turned out fine in the end.

This year, I even have an AMV in the contest finals. So I think this is going to be great. And the con ends on the 31st, so I’m planning to return home in time to trick or treat with the kids. Sweet!

And the Beat Goes On

It’s funny, but not really surprising. Despite being laid off, I’m about as busy as ever during the day, if not more so. I have multiple projects under way which I hope will yield some income and I’ve taken on childcare duties for my two youngest, mostly picking people up from various activities.

One of the projects is a book that has really taken on a life of it’s own. And the others are iPhone applications I’m developing. And there are plenty of chores to be done around the house, including throwing out a lot of unneeded junk. Finally, looking for more stable work and contract jobs continues as well.

In all of this busyness, I have had hardly any time to goof off at all!
