Also, now you’ll actually know when I follow you back and ask questions because it will be my main account, rather than just a sub-blog!

Fave photo set of the weekend! I asked the Suga and Daichi for a photo first, and while I was taking the picture a Hinata and Kageyama showed up and jumped in AND THEN the other four showed up and I was like YOU GET IN THERE TO and that is how random awesome shots like this come about.

Anime North 2015 photos!

And I just need to say that Kuvira is beautiful and she would make an amazing Sif from Thor because she looks so much like Jaimie Alexander!

If anyone knows these cosplayers message me and I will link them!

Wig styling for Kagari is complete! Well, until the Anime North, because I don’t want to put the hairpins in until the wig is on my head.

I always feel accomplished when I complete something in the morning.

Cosplay progress photos. My bracelet and dominator’s for Psycho-pass. The fully finished dominator is my friends, the half painted dominator is mine and the unpainted dominator is my friends. 

With less than a week before AN I am in full productivity mode to get the guns and bracelets finished!

How’s everyone else’s made rush to the finish going? 

Tomorrow is a dedicated wig day for Kagari, will post progress shots.

Finally got my wig for Kagari. No styling yet (unless you count flipping it upside down and shaking it).

Time to get down and work on this thing!

Here’s my loot from Free Comic Book day; always the first Saturday in May!

I love the marketing idea behind Free Comic Book day, but I just wish comic stores/creators would make better choices about which comics to include. Most of these are really good picks, but the random Flash one (which I am still happy to have and will likely enjoy) throws me because it is an issue from 2006 and therefore finding past issues related to the story will be more difficult and will not encourage me to come back every single week/month to find out what happens next.

Anyways, yay to free comics. Can’t wait for the Toronto Comic Arts festival next weekend!

Be The Maze, Not The Rat

By Myron Dixon, maze enthusiast 

Nobody likes the rat race—squeaking your way through each day, looking for  a paycheck (aka the cheese). It’s exhausting and humiliating. But I’m here to tell you there’s another way. You can be under and around it all: You can stop being the race, and start being the maze.

What does it mean to be the maze?

It means to branch out in three directions at once, one of which leads your coworkers (the rats) to a harmless dead end, one of which leads to an electrified floor, and one that takes everyone safely to the cheese. When you are the maze, you can weed out the underperforming rats and reward the successful ones. When you are the maze, the rats (your coworkers) are always walking along your wall, by your side, no matter where they are inside you (your company).

So how do you become the maze?

First, you need to stop being the rat. Stop thinking like a rat in search of cheese, and start thinking about where the cheese should be. Have the rats gone down this route before? How about that route? What happens if you put a wall (overtime) where there was previously cheese? You can’t control the rats until you control yourself and your physical dimensions in space.

What?

What?

What are you talking about?

I’m talking about getting out of the rat race and becoming the maze.

Aren’t the maze and the rat just two sides of the same coin?

AHA! And herein lies the paradox. In business, there’s only the cheese. Are you going to hide it, or are you going to find it? When you know the answer, you’ll finally be successful.

What should I take away from this conversation?

The question and answer format that began as a literary device for explaining my point became a personal dialogue with another person. An honest to goodness human connection. And it feels pretty great.

Hey, you know, you’re right. Thanks!

“Can you stop taking a fucking selfie?!” - Tommie-amber Pirie to Steve Lund

Just one of the awesome, funny lines from this weekends Bitten panel at Toronoto ComiCon. Wish I had the timing to have captured the line live!

Karen Gillan was hilarious and full of energy at Toronto ComiCon. If you haven’t had the chance to see Karen speak at a con you should definitely make that a priority. 

Super happy she didn’t cancel this time!

Progress on Sky this weekend: Finally finished the cowl hoody! 

I'm always hesitant to work with vinyl, but today it went very smoothly, not a broken needle to be had.

Now just some small details to take care of (like buying black skinny jeans [I think I'm the only person I know without a pair]).

Nearly ready for TorontoComiCon!

No progress cosplay wise this weekend because I was busy helping clean out a room at my grandparents.

But, I did find this old key-chain with a mini lighter and a baseball bat, giving  instant feels for my khr cosplay group. Probably one of my favourite cosplay experiences ever.
