Supanova -Round 2-

Err...sorry about that. Anyway, Supanova was...well...wet. It rained and as such, the sheltered areas were very crowded. It seems that there was a rise in Sailor Moon and Slenderman cos-players this year and it was nice to see more Bronies showed up too. Despite the rain, it wasn't too bad.

My Bro and his girlfriend give us their opinion of the queues

Plenty of Cos-players with various levels of success. As I said before, lots of Sailor Moon & Co and Slenderman, but others I liked were the Star Wars charity workers (their outfits are always perfectly done), Steampunk (who have some of the best and creatively made outfits) and of course there were the two Predators (which standing next to one felt really freaky, particularly when he moved his finder across my cheek).

Yes, I really do look terrible in photos (which I why I have too many of them)

I admit I was still majorly stressed out at the time, a massive headache with no pain killers and yet I still had a really good time. Heck, I even got a nice Zerg t-shirt while I was there. 

 Overall, despite the pain, it was great.

Remembrance Day

Lest We Forget...

Today we remember the fallen, those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Yet it disturbs me just how many people have little idea about this day or what it even means. It's sad that such things are rarely talked about in schools or television specials talking about events. It's as if it's just swept under the rug and forgotten, an insult on the 'Lest We Forget' saying.

May we never forget.

Supanova....

......updating tomorrow. To tired tonight to talk about it.

Some Positives

Despite things going from bad to worse, it's good to know there are some positives. My book order arrived...yes. Elysium - The art of Daarken is a book with many wonderful and amazing art pieces by the artist called daarken (daarken on DeviantART)

While I haven't had much time to look through it, what I have seen so far is amazing. I recommend you check out daarkens page and if you like artwork, get the book. I was lucky enough to get the bonus pre-order prints.

I also came home to find the poster for Ponycon AU had also arrived.

Shame I can't make it to Sydney for it now, but no less I hope many others will enjoy it.

And speaking of events, Supanova Brisbane 2012 is on tomorrow. While I know I should be resting, perhaps this outing can help pick up my mood. We'll see...

The wrong madness

As if things couldn't get any worse, they do. All I needed was a week or so from work to recover, now it seems I'll need more. Turn's out my so-called 'support worker' isn't so supportive when it comes to my work getting into trouble. All I wanted was to rest and instead I get a shit load of more stress. Now I got to go back to my doctor and get the Union involve too. I seriously can't take much more of this shit...

Movember Challenge Again

My Movember Page

I'm once more doing the Movember challenge. I'm hoping to beat my previous raised amount of $70, though I will begin my fundraising next week once I have had time to recover myself.

Down and Out

Well, this day has sure changed things. Visited my doctor and am now on one week leave of work due to stress. Now my focus will be to de-stress and re-focus. Will it work.......we'll see.
