Happy 2010
I left the papers with customer quotes at work.
I'll mention one I remember.

Customer: I'm looking for David Hudson.
(I look up the name on the store database and allmusic.com. I notice more than one artist with that name. We only carry one of them, though. I wanted to make sure we had what the customer was looking for.)
Me: What genre?
Customer: No, David Hudson.
Me: There's more than one David Hudson. Which genre?
Customer: Who is genre?

(The customer wanted an R&B singer. We only had the Australian Country/Western didgiredoo player).

The con was pretty fun. I've learned that 3 people can fit inside my Monster in the Darkness costume. I want someone to dress as O'Chul(aka Mr. Stiffly). There were a lot of awesome costumes. I went with some DnD buddies. I ran into a bunch of people I knew from Highschool and College. That was cool.

To those going to New York Anime Fest
Friends will borrow the Monster In the Darkness costume. If you see it, someone else is likely to be under it.

I saw HBP. The movie is probably old news to most of the people on my flist. The theater was pretty empty.

( Spoilers for those who haven't seen the movie and still want to )

( Some Characters )

He obviously wasn't looking at my chest
On my way to work, a random passerby called me a 'faggot'. If he really wanted to use a derogatory term based on my apparent homosexuality, then the term he was looking for was 'dyke'.

epiphany
I think I figured out why so many customers don't seem to know the alphabet. There's a little display of $0.99 books. One of the books meant to teach the alphabet to children. I noticed something odd about it.

X IS FOR AX!

It's easier for me to stump this thing than it is for me to think of something it could guess. It guessed Wicked Witch of the West when I thought of Broom Hilda.

Character concepts that I haven't played:
1. A cute little gnome necromancer who likes pretty things. She wants to invent a new type of undead. So far, her name is Shelly Geranium Terri Banana Fana Bo Berri. Gnomes tend to collect tons of names.
2. An ork fratboy adept who uses a paddle.
3. An ork Street Samurai who's so obsessed with Star Trek that he looks like a Klingon and fights with a batlev. His streetname is Alexander.
4. A half orc overtone singer Barbarian/Bard. He likes to give crushing hugs.
5. A male halfling paladin with a greatsword named Compensation.
6. A socially awkward gamer geek Toreador, who's great at drawing monsters.

Snap bracelets FTW! Only two strangers recognized my Monster in the Darkness costume. Many people took pictures of it and poked it. A Mello cosplayer ran around it while giggling. A few people thought I was Stan from Okage. I wore other costumes underneath MitD, since I couldn't see anything in the dealer's room with it on and it took up too much room for the panels. I saw a bunch of friends from highschool and college. That was cool.

( Con stuff )

My vacation request for days off corresponding to New York Anime Fest was approved.

Crack Naruto Theory
Tenten and Udon are siblings.
Neither of them have surnames and they both have straight brown hair.

I-Con 27
The Con was fun. I spent more time gaming than doing anything anime related. I payed my way in, instead of staffing.

character meme stolen from thomasvye
I did these for my Shadowrun characters.

1. Choose a few of your own characters.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

I don't think the designers had this in mind
I played some Soul Calibur 2 today. I used Astaroth. The CPU opponent was Kilik. At one point it looked like Kilik poked his rod up Astaroth's rear. I think it was related to their positioning and Astaroth's larger size.

Happy New Year
I'm going to post some interesting quotes from customers at J&R. They're in no particular order. They either amused or confused me.

A lot of people called Andrea Bocelli, "Botticelli".
