Triumphant Return!

I have survived A-kon! And jury duty!

Jury duty ended for me today. On monday we were split up into jury panels with our panel meeting on Wednesday. And today the jury was selected from the panel. The guy next to me was chosen, but I was not. Possibly because I was uncomfortable deciding judgement on someone. (Particulary judgements that require jail time.) The defendent's lawyer spent a minute or so with me over it. It was a criminal trial too with the charge of aggravated assault.

Anyways, A-kon was mostly fun. The unpacking, end of convention packing, and driving at a late time was not fun. Fun was hanging out with my friends and cosplaying! Though it was too bad we couldn't get back to the convention early enough on Saturday to do anything. It rained twice while we were there. Saturday morning at around 1am helped me to get to sleep. Sunday morning at 9am scared me since it was a heavy rain, with high winds, loud thunder and a possible tornado off the horizon (not spotted by me). I think [livejournal.com profile] sly_1 and I were the only people I know of cosplaying Eruruu and Aruruu. [livejournal.com profile] mwerevu was cosplaying Hakuro, which we did see two others, but not as nicely done. We didn't cosplay Ouran after all since by Sunday we were bruised, tired, and sore. And there was much packing to do that day. Ah well. It's there for another convention.

I did pretty well selling some of my stuff at the convention. Definitely enough to make some money off of it...which I also spent a chunk at the convention. Too bad I didn't bring more of the manga magazines. I sold all of them by Saturday. I also now own the so far released part of Gaogaigar! And apparently bought a second copy of Gakuen Heaven v. 2. According to Rightstuf, I already got a copy from them. It's probably in one of their boxes somewhere in this room. Well, at least this purchase of it was a cheap one! And I bought some books, and the Tsubasa artbook I was wanting. I think I bought the last one in the entire convention Saturday morning, of which I got to take great glee in hearing other people ask for it. Yes, I'm sad. I know. And some very cute chibi Final Fantasy III trading figures.

As for costumes in the convention as a whole, I didn't see anything overwhelming like Bleach was last time. There were quite a few Bleach, Naruto, and Kingdom Hearts Organization cosplayers again, but there seemed to be quite a variety of other anime series being cosplayed. It was interesting.

And I fell asleep in my chair today at the computer. I must get some reasonable amount of sleep soon.

(PS [livejournal.com profile] sarcastic_elf! I got Saturday off!)

Noooo, not jury duty!

Wow, my Akon post was a lot rantier than yours.

Book unpacking tomorrow! But, Ashley and I did the shipment all by ourselves. The Yomiko figures are SO CUTE. Order more. Also, I might get the HTDM book, for they are my guilty pleasure.

I have no idea why I'm commenting when I COULD tell you this tomorro. *nerd*

Yay! Did you get pictures of everybody in costume?

Because its fun that way! ^_^

Most of my con posts aren't very ranty, due to the fact by the time I post about it, it's just considered as a whole. Though I did forget to post about the minor fun with the car.

Yup! I have it in a rar file somewhere. I'll try to send it soon.
