Behind the mirror

Today wasn't my day - spent most of it on the couch, wondering what kind of shit is airing on TV.
At least I finished the new layout. Only some minor tweaks have to be made until I'm satisfied. And the CSS for the three columns is written. Now I only have to dig myself deep into the wordpress-documentation to get all the nifty features in the theme I want to have.

But after all coding I needed a break. Actually I wanted to either draw Rude or Cloud, but I ended up with yet another Tseng-Sketch.

( Cig break )
Gun and cigarette included ...
AND yet another kink of mine - a guy in a kimono-something...

... the proof was given at the Train-station in Hamm on the way back from the animagic2009.

I had such a great weekend - maybe the make up for the whole last week. It started with more stress than necessary. And a major headache. First I had a car, then not, then my brother stepped in, then he decided that he felt uncomfortable with me driving the long distance to Bonn. So he gave me the train-ticket as early birthday present.
To cut a long story short - Sweet Gwen and I made it to the convention in the end ... nearly in time.

We found Noc pretty soon and started one of our favorite activities: trash-talking. Some of the cosplays were a pain in the eye not so good. But others were just breathtaking.

Although the stress of the week before took it's toll - I wasn't as talkative as usual and my neck was stiff and hurt like hell - it was so awesome to watch all the great costumes. The whole atmosphere was amazing.
Unfortunately I neither had a ticket for the con itself nor any money to spent on books, films or posters. (Birthday is 4 days too late. Or the con was too early ;_; ) And I could only stay for Saturday.

On the way back I met some more really nice people - including the smoking Genesis and a group of Visus'. And had a long debate with my inner-self. I will be at the Connichi for sure. And this time not as civilian. Maybe I even finish my Mononoke-Cos till then. (And then I have no reason to back up from LARP's anymore *sigh*- with some changes the outfit works also for my planned character. A 'medicine'-seller *cough* )

(Sorry, this seems to turn into a Socks Missing in Action-Post)

Today was the day, I was really afraid of. My Dad's fiftieth birthday.

And after all the screwed up stuff which happened the last weeks I was so horrified that I would mess things up.
But ... everything went completely smooth.
I managed to clean up my whole apartment. And my cake was a blast. Chemistry in its purest form. But it tasted good.
And the best: No arguments at all with my parents and grandparents.

For a change a really nice and relaxing weekend. ^_^

To put it the nice way: the weekend was fucked up wasn't like I expected it to be. It was nice in the end, but not at all, like it should have been.
I'm still pretty depressed about it, and about other not really good news. So I keep any updates to harmless blabla.


Another news from the wired makes me a semi happy bunny.
Castelvania comes to the movies, directed by James Wan, who also directed and produced the first Saw-Movie (the only one I liked, but that's my humble opinion).
A mixture of horror, gore and bishonen is the stuff I need at the moment.
