Of Work and Cosplay

Ohayocon is just a few more days away and I’m looking forward to it with the usual mix of excitement and stress. This year’s soup of emotions has the added spice of great uncertainty mixed in. Mmmm, that’s good soup!

The last few months I’ve been busy looking for work and getting my software development business off the ground. I’ve actually been busier than I was at my previous job, having also taken on many childcare and home tasks in order to keep expenses down. Seems kind of crazy to be still making costumes and going to cons, but I’ve tried to keep things relatively normal. Besides, now I’ve got a bonafide business related reason for attending anime cons, promoting my book, Anime Aftershocks. And I’ve got one other convention related project in the works that I hope to complete before Otakon. If all goes well, the ROI should be very good!

Cosplay plans for Ohayocon are pretty much set. Mahoro for Friday, Stocking for Saturday, and Miho for Saturday night or maybe Sunday depending on how things work out. If I can find the materials around the house I need, I’m going to do my best to make a Hone Neko plush for Stocking today along with some business filings and doing more work on the data storage for my current iPhone app project.

Despite the challenges, or perhaps because of them, I’m really excited about Ohayocon and should come away with a lot of new energy to pour into my projects!

Life is too short to get down and depressed about anything. I’m workng hard, playing hard, and things are going to be alright.

Hello blueZhift,

Found your website today and have a question to ask you. If you could get back to me ASAP, that would be great.

Uhm… Hi *Waves*

I was wandering around the cosplay.com forums, spotted your post, and kindah stalked you. I saw that you were going to Ohayocon, so I wanted to tell you now, cause I’ll probably see you but won’t know you, and can’t recognize you to say hi, But… Everything you’re going through will be fine ^.^ Just keep your head up, and have fun!!! I hope you enjoy yourself
