Cosplay 2/ Cosplay Plan 10 XD [13 Jul 2009|06:41pm] cosplay [nonsugar] [ mood | bouncy ] [ music | VELTPUNCH ] Once again I come to you with hair problems. My next cosplay (I gave up on the last couple cause I had no money and now I do so HA!) is going to be Yui Hirasawa from K-ON! Her dress from the ending theme. I might do the uniform too. It depends on how much money I have left. My question is should I get a wig or dye my hair. Because her hair is really close to my hair color. But if I do dye my hair I'll have to cut it. And wigs do photograph better but it's hard to find the right one and they are really expensive! Plus I might mess it up styling it. So what are your thoughts? 2 victims † Go ahead, piss me off

33: The Tattooed Map by Barbara Hodgson [13 Jul 2009|05:56pm] 50bookchallenge [timeless_story] [ mood | blah ] Book Thirty-Three Title: The Tattooed Map Author: Barbara Hodgson Page Count: 120 Genre: Fantasyish...I don't know, it's a hard one to classify Synopsis/Thoughts: This is a very strange little book about two travelers, Lydia and Christopher, who were once lovers but now simply travel together as they enjoy each others' company. This novella starts out from the viewpoint of Lydia as she records, journal-style, their experiences as they travel through North Africa. One day, she begins to notice a strange pattern appearing on her hand that is invisible to everyone but her. As the image darkens and spreads, she realizes that it is a map, though what it depicts or why it is appearing is a mystery. One day in a cafe, she meets a mysterious man who can also see the map, though his comments about it are too enigmatic for her to understand. She begins to research old maps to see if she can find one that matches the tattoo on her arm, and at this point the point of view dramatically and unexpectedly shifts. Her traveling companion Chris begins to narrate, and we learn through his journal entries that Lydia has disappeared and left no clue as to where she has gone. The authorities are just as clueless as he is, so he reads back over Lydia's journal entries describing the mysterious events that have been occurring, and he is both baffled and intrigued. He questions her sanity at first, but as he begins to do more research of his own, he realizes that she may not have been as crazy as he thinks. I really was disappointed by this book. I had high hopes for it because I read Hippolyte's Island, also by this author, and loved it for its sheer uniqueness. Also, the premise of this book sounded very interesting. Unfortunately, I felt it really didn't deliver. Don't get me wrong, the book itself is a work of art, with lavish illustrations on every page that are what one would expect to find in the diary/scrapbook of a traveler, but it seemed to me that so much work was put into the illustrations that the story itself was allowed to fall by the wayside. And it wasn't just that it had a very open ending that left loose ends hanging left and right and the reader gaping and going: "Is that it??". Because that was part of it. But also I felt that for a book describing such a moody, atmospheric place as North Africa, and with a plot that has so many mysterious, almost magical elements (including hints of time travel), the prose was just overwhelmingly lackluster. The characters too were very boring, and in the case of Chris, vaguely unlikeable. Aside from that, as I mentioned before, the ending of the book just leaves the reader hanging with no explanations of any of the events that have occurred and no real idea of even where the characters are now or what happened to them. And maybe that was intentional, but I didn't like it and came away feeling very unsatisfied. I felt like this really could have been a great read, but it just missed the mark entirely. Anyway, at 120 pages at least it didn't take up much of my time to read. † Go ahead, piss me off

Costume for Sale [13 Jul 2009|03:55pm] cosplay [repogirl91] Hi, guys, I'm trying to sell a Fushigi Yuugi costume based on Miaka Yuuki's school uniform.  The costume includes the dress, the jacket, and the bow tie, but no white polo shirt or anything; that's easy enough to buy separately.  The costume is in fairly good condition, having only been worn once, but it is about five or six years old and has been contained in a box for most of that time.  I finally decided to get rid of it.  I don't quite have the measurements for it, nor can I find my measuring tape, but I myself am 5'1" and 100 lbs and have a petite figure, and the costume is slightly roomy in the waist on me.  Hopefully that can help someone else figure out if this is all right for them? Anyway, I thought I'd try here before putting it up on eBay.  I'm asking about $80 for it, plus about $8 for shipping.  I may be able to negotiate price if anyone is interested.

B Plushie [13 Jul 2009|05:42pm] death_note [snowtigra] Hello, I just finished making a B plushie that I'd like to sell. But I'm not sure about something and I wanted to ask the list's opinion. Originally I'd planned on making the plushie and then splattering it lightly in red (blood) like many of the B pictures I've seen. So now I've completed the plushie and I'm not sure if I want to splatter it or not. ( Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you guys think... ) 2 victims † Go ahead, piss me off

Book 17: Of Course I'm for Monogamy [13 Jul 2009|05:15pm] 50bookchallenge [ikilledkenny] Of Course I'm for Monogamy by Marilyn Vos Savant [link] This is actually a book my brother owns, and that I have read in the past. I really enjoy this book every time I pick it up, and always learn something new. I love reading Marilyn's column in the Parade, and this book is no exception. In this book, Marilyn vos Savant answers various questions submitted by the public, and the book reprints articles from her column.

Hero of Nonfiction [13 Jul 2009|02:14pm] 50bookchallenge [maribou] [ mood | productive ] [ music | I have "We Built This City" in my head ] The Hero of Ages, by Brandon Sanderson Very satisfying conclusion to an excellent epic fantasy trilogy. If you go in for this stuff, you should definitely give the first book a try. The imaginary-RPG bones still felt like they were showing a bit but not in a bad way, and it's just the *bones* of the story, not the characterization or plot. (131/275) The Readers' Advisory Guide to Nonfiction, by Neal Wyatt The reason I decided to read this book is because I *LOVE* Neal Wyatt's taste in books as shown through her writing for Library Journal. So it comes as no suprise that I think this book is awesome!! I don't always agree with every theoretical opinion expressed but the recommendations, annotations, and overall approach is really really excellent. Highly recommended even if you just like reading a wide variety of non-fiction for fun - EXTREMELY highly recommended for reference professionals. (Though I confess I'm not quite ready to pay $53.00 to own my own copy - hurray for libraries!) (132/275) † Go ahead, piss me off

Book 33 for 2009 [13 Jul 2009|08:42pm] 50bookchallenge [cat63] Black Sheep by Georgette Heyer I wanted something light and fluffy after the grimness of Small Island, so I turned to one of the Heyers in my "To Read" pile.  I'm not a big romance reader as a rule, but Heyer is one of the exceptions. I love her books. Not intellectually stretching perhaps, but they generally do exactly what it says on the tin :-) This one is perhaps not one her best - I found the male protagonist a bit too devil-may-care for my taste, but it's still a fun fast read, with all the usual stuff - fortune hunters, gullible young ladies, a sensible heroine and gossipy old ladies. And naturally, a happy ending :-) † Go ahead, piss me off

26, 27, 28 [13 Jul 2009|10:08am] 50bookchallenge [mixdmedia] 26/50 American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang I absolutely loved this! The book depicts three disparate stories: the story of the Monkey King, the story of Jin Wang an Asian-American come to live in a mostly white suburb, and a sitcom-styled story about how Danny deals with his cousin Chin-Kee (who embodies every offensive Asian stereotype under the sun; he was really repulsive). The art is amiable and the story light-hearted and funny. I've always thought (wrongly) that things that deal with racial discrimination had to be very serious about it (because racial discrimination is very serious, no matter how many people try to dismiss it as being just being a movie/a book/a bus seat). Which isn't to say that when racial discrimination appears, it doesn't hurt: just that the story doesn't want to be bogged down there, and reaches, moreover, for a universal coming-of-age story. The coming-of-age story includes discrimination, but it also includes the importance of being true to oneself. American Born Chinese shouldn't just be read to get a glimpse at discrimination against Asians, but because it is fundamentally a good story (that I'm sure I've disserviced with this poor review .____.) 27/50 The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) by Rick Riordan Finally got my hands on this! I was a little disappointed with Labyrinth and I've learned to be disappointed with series finales (Harry Potter) in general, but this book was excellent. It still has the typical Riordan flaws and a growing over-reliance on dreams to dish out background (one I hope won't be continued in the follow-up...) but when Riordan says there's a final battle, there's a final battle. The importance of that can't be understated: how many books are out there that go on and on about a looming war/battle and then just kinda wimp their way through it with the last chapter (or two, if you're lucky)? Kudos to Riordan for really sticking to that. Percy's request (you know which one) was a really nice touch. Also, new love for Riordan's girl characters all of whom kick butt. (Riordan is a little constricted by Greek mythology in that there isn't a lot you can do to get around the fact that the goddess of the hearth is going to sit at home during this war, and also because he he didn't give a lot of thought into what each god's kid would be like. Consequently, Aphrodite's kids are obsessed with make up and Hermes' kids are all thieves and liars.) 28/50 Hammer of God (Godspeaker Book Three) by Karen Miller I did manage to read the whole thing, but I can't recommend this book, and I can't recommend Karen Miller ever again. In fact, I will do the opposite: I recommend staying away from Miller. ( Cut for length: Problems with plot, racial politics, and gender politics ) Next: Not sure.
