Making a conspiracy map as a part of my Gravity Falls/Dipper Pines costume. This is based on the map seen in the episode “Irrational Treasure” which is taken from Journal #3 and subsequently crafted into a rather fetching hat.

Don’t really care which side wins.
More time and effort went into producing this than any reasonable person should readily admit.
Right, well, now that’s out of the way…
I think it looked a little better on me.
Last weekend I attended what I keep on referring to as “white lights festival” or some variation thereof, but I think was actually called simply “White Night”.
It’s three drinks too late to talk to anyone but myself.
Recently I have been vaguely attempting to actually work on personal cosplay projects again (after realising that we’re nearly a quarter into 2014 already and all I’ve really done between paid jobs is wallow in self-pity).
Life is hard.
To be honest I’m not really cut out for this whole “being an adult” thing.
True story: I’ve gotten up every day with the intention of cutting my fingernails for the past month-and-a-half. They’re impractically long, chipped, cracked, dented, and any day now one is going to break right back at the skin line and it’s going to hurt like a fuck.
But I just can’t bring myself to care.
It’s easy to be angry at something that you don’t understand.
Every so often I think: “It sure would be swell to make stupid cosplay music videos!”
But then remember that I possess neither the appropriate technology nor organisational skills where it comes to other people- besides the fact that most of my peers are grown-ups with adult responsibilities who have little to no tolerance for childish hobbies anyway.
If the world is crumbling down, I don’t want to be alone.
Watch me try to churn through as many costumes as I’m physically able before the year ends. While simultaneously trying to document them in as cohesive a level of detail as can be mustered (did you know it takes anywhere from 3 days to a month to get these blog entries into a state where I’m comfortable enough to post them? Well, now you do).
Let me know, is your heart still beating?
A bit of sad news today…
Recently it was announced that the Melbourne Anime Festival, better known as “Manifest” is shutting down for good.
It came as a bit of a shock, there hadn’t been any mentions about the possibility of it shutting down (well, not that I’d noticed, but then I am hilariously unobservant), and there had even been some mentions of plans for 2014 and 2015, but, well… There will be no Manifest 2014, as 2013 was the last one.
When you’ve got no other choice you know you can follow my voice.
The Melbourne Zombie Shuffle was last Saturday so the better part of last week was spent putting the final touches on the costumes.
This year we got a small group together, cosplaying characters from the web comic Maggot Boy. Being about zombies it seemed appropriate- not to mention how much fun MaEmon and I had cosplaying two of the characters (Davey and Owen respectively) at Manifest back in August.
Please try to remember, it’s natural for a thing like me.
This is a metaphor.
We’re bound to linger on.
What up, losers? Insulting people is an appropriate way to begin a blog entry, yes?
Well, even in the event that it isn’t, I’ve made my choices and am committed to them, for better or for worse. Mostly worse.
Speaking of poor life choices that I’m committed to, Separation Anxiety, is still a thing that is somehow managing to still be happening! The prologue reached its conclusion some weeks ago and first chapter has since commenced.
Updates are still on Thursdays.
But that isn’t really why I’m here today.
