At the beginning of my day, I ate peanut butter and cheddar cheese on toast, and sipped a cup of coffee. I reviewed the contents on the buffet table, and then stepped into a hot, (almost scalding) shower.

Stormagedden, the Dark Lady of All, gave a plaintive cry when I opened my bedroom door. She never did like being closed out of my room. My friends came by, soon after I was finished dressing.

The rest of the day was filled with a wide variety of chocolates and other snacky foods, Ms. Marvel, lots of chatting, Delicious in Dungeon, lots more chatting, Dino Nuggets and Scalloped Potatoes, and kitty cuddles.

The Bee Writes challenges us to share one of our favourite authors.

One of my favorite authors is the Japanese writer and illustrator, Yana Toboso, best known for her manga series, Black Butler.

Here is a cover, played on piano, of a piece from “Black Butler – Book of Circus”, an anime made from Toboso’s manga.

SoCS — In Person

It is late and I am too tired to meet up with anyone in person.

Tomorrow I will be with friends, in person, to do our weekly movie and television binge. On schedule is Ant Man, Captain America: Civil War, and a few more episodes of the anime – Black Butler. In addition, we will share stories, thoughts, and several types of munchies.

A Tiny Light In the Overwhelming Darkness

This past week and a half has just been too much for me. I have had to isolate, mostly, to watch a few older Marvel movies, and binge through one of my favorite anime series, Black Butler, with a couple of friends, and to play lots of Fallout 4. Even so, my reservoir of strength and positivity is completely drained.

Even though the below meme does catch the gist of what happened today, it does not totally reflect the full picture, but I needed the humor.

With reference to the Ragtag Daily Prompt.

A to Z Challenge – C is for Cosplay

I have been cosplaying regularly since 2014, after taking a very long break. Back in the day, it was known as costuming. Sadly, I have no known pictures from the 1970s.

WorldCon came to town in 2011 for the first time. The organizers realized that there was enough interest to bring a Comic Con to town more often.

Wizard World’s Comic Con, came to town in 2014, and I made a quick, simple cosplay as Milly Thompson from the anime/manga, Trigun.

I upped my game in 2015 for the Sands-Reno Comic Con and the Great Basin Geek Con and went as Edward Elric from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga/anime. Here’s a couple of pictures that show the arm I made from foam and the cloak I made. The cloak was one of the first pieces I had sewn in decades Here’s a picture of how I looked. I won Fan Favorite at the Great Basin Geek Con.

I have cosplayed several different characters over the years at various Conventions A few I’ve done are a genderbent Gunzerker from the video game Borderlands 2, Tank Girl, Grandmama from the Addams Family, Doctor Who, Sherlock Holmes, and most recently, Tanjiro Kamado for Demon Slayer. Several of my cosplays have won minor awards in the Cosplay/Masquerade contests.
