I paid #iamp a visit today after like 8 months. I should really go there more often.

 

On higher delays, the inputs feel so clanky and unresponsive. With dropped inputs as well, it ain't helping my already low skill level. orz

 

Should practice with Booster on higher delays.

 

Also: learnt that Caster accepts hostnames on top of IPs. Thanks, mauve. :'D

(please excuse my nonexistant photography skills. shaky images are not linked.)

 

I went to EOY today.

 

Comiket has rules pertaining to not going or leaving there while in a costume. EOY did not.

 

So that's why I saw that bunch of Lucky Star cosers practicing their dance in the MRT. Okay.

 

There was quite a crowd there when we reached there. It got bigger as time passed.

 

Most of the time was spent walking around aimlessly, occasionally seeing people cosplaying various characters, then taking pictures of them.

 

A group did the Higurashi cast. Then there's Enma Ai and Hone-onna. As well as Sol Badguy.

 

Someone constructed a Gundam Dynames suit and walked around in it.

 

Two groups did Ouran. One group's Honey-senpai was quite successful..

 

So across the afternoon, I've seen cosers cosplaying Sakura, Zero, and even Ash. Though the range of characters chosen is kinda limited, it seems that a lot of work was put into each costume. A Kakashi coser bought those Very Expensive Sharingan contacts, another guy made his 2.5m weapon out of 3 different materials, PoT cosers brought tennis rackets (which they might not even have touched outside of cosplaying).

 

...I fail at describing the vibrant cosplayers. Maybe I shall talk about the booths.

 

Most of the booths were either displaying their dolls or selling prints that they have done. Collateral Damage had an expensive artbook, which I didn't touch. The NUS ani-club was selling bookmarks. Comix Pandora were selling their doujins.

 

Rojak Labs were selling their own VN. It was in Flash.

 

LianYL left a "BRStick sold here" sign at the NUS booth, which led to me constantly asking them about it. Asking stuff like, "Is the Fibonacci sequence one available?" It's like, most stickmen comics focus on putting across a point instead of making it look pretty. (Some examples!) So, the appeal of getting a handdrawn page was quite great.

 

But apparently LianYL already left, leaving behind the "Treble, Bass, EQ" joke at the Collateral Damage booth. So I gave up.

 

Wanting to actually spend some money, I bought some doujins that were still in stock from Comix Pandora. The quality of the publications were quite good. Each book had a full colour illustration page at the front. (b^^)b

 

 

For some reason, I was hoping that someone would gather everyone into singing the Nico Nico Douga medley. So I was kinda disappointed in that aspect when it didn't happen. (Why was I expecting that anyway?!)

The smallish filming was kinda a bit of a success. Over dinner topics like losing items surfaced.

 

I arrived home and realised that my (brother's) handphone is now missing. Fuck.

 

My mom cancelled the number while I went「絶望した！」and harboured thoughts of making myself taller.

 

But I didn't. If I were to go, who would announce that my handphone number should not be contacted from now on?

 

Ehh, I wasn't serious about the whole making-self-taller thing either.

 

(patchoulol doesn't cause dependance, right?)

 

EDIT: Handphone number still in use. Having a Fumie x Oyaji relationship with the new phone.
