Missing #Youmacon this year to celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary. Woo hoo! #
Thought about celebrating the anniversary at #Youmacon but well, the wife wasn't having any of that! LOL XD #
My wife can be quite the nerd, but #anime and #cosplay are not her thing. Still love her tho, heh heh! ^_^ #Youmacon #
For those who are into #cosplay and perhaps at #Youmacon now, check out A thinking man's guide to crossplay! #kindle #ebook #
The fun I've had at #Youmacon was part of the inspiration for Anime Aftershocks. ^_^ http://t.co/81wNNZFg #kindle #ebook #

Gonna miss taking pics of cosplayers at #Youmacon this year. T_T Got a lot of pics last year, some good crossplay too! http://t.co/K5C73287 #
Be sure to check out my AMV, Shinji Listen!! in the #Youmacon AMV Contest. It made the ACen finals earlier. http://t.co/ojgtj1qS #
Okay, now it's time work on a little video for tomorrow's 20th Anniversary Party! Yay! 20 years goes by fast with the right person. <3 #
Ok, got 133 pics so far, for a 5 min video and I still got scanning to do. Oh boy… #
@ButerflySamurai LOL, a gentleman never tells! People are always surprised because my wife and I look a lot younger than we are. ~_^ in reply to ButerflySamurai #

Home for Halloween!

Post author By blueZhift
Post date October 30, 2011

It has been a number of years since I’ve actually been at home for Halloween. Since I started going in 2005, I’ve been at Youmacon during Halloween. This year, Youmacon is the following weekend, so last night I donned my Uhura cosplay and went to the Pew Pew Halloween costume bash in Chicago with my wife.

The artwork and the shop were interesting and we would hang out there for little over an hour before heading back home. I kinda wished we’d done some bar hopping, but she was getting tired and isn’t a big fan of bars. She joked later, that it took me more time to get ready than we spent out. But it was still fun, and my costume got a good reception. My friend Ron got a shot of us together. LOL, as usual, I’ve got the derp face goin on!

I wrote some about my #Youmacon adventures in Anime Aftershocks and a bunch of other cons too. http://t.co/81wNNZFg #Kindle #ebook #
At last year's #Youmacon I successfully stumped Vic Mignogna in #StarTrek Original Series trivia! No small feat, dude knows his Trek! #

Have Some Free SciFi For iPad or iPhone!

Post date October 22, 2011

Everyone likes free stuff! Yeah, don’t deny it, ya do. From now until the end of the year, you can get a free copy of Rolled Up Dimensionality: Short stories from a forgotten life from the Apple iBookstore readable on the iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch!

This eBook is also available on the Kindle and Nook, but I can’t set the price to free there unless enough readers tell Amazon and Barnes & Noble that the eBook is now free on the iPad. So if you want it free on Kindle and Nook, please let them know!

Enjoy!

U.S. Troops to Leave Iraq: About Time! Yay!

Post author By blueZhift
Post date October 22, 2011

U.S. troops are leaving Iraq by year’s end! Some good news at last from Iraq. While there has been a lot of criticism about this move, in the end it is the right thing to do. The Iraqis DO NOT WANT US THERE! In the end, their country belongs to them and it’s high time we got out of the way and let them get on with the job of building the country they want, not necessarily the one the U.S. government wants.

If the United States is to live up to the standards we espouse around the world, we cannot impede the will of the people in other countries. If Arab spring has taught us anything, people will make changes when they get fed up enough, without our help.

So congratulations Iraq, and good luck!

Just saw the ref on the Monday night game take big hit. Sorry but I LMFAO! #NFL #
Ref is okay though. He was laughing too. #NFL #
Miami just couldn't get it together while the Jets just got better as the game went on. #NFL #
Miami receivers should just burn their gloves. Useless man, just useless… #NFL #
