Last weekend we went to a vampire video party. Our hosts were two ladies we have known for years through ren faire. They now sell handmade jewelry and beadwork at various shows, including a few anime cons.
We saw the end of that vampire trilogy with Wesley Snipes and all of "Van Helsing", which was a great romp of silliness and well-done cg. We mst'ed a little and that was a hoot because we all knew the same obscure references. At one point, when the heroine was looking around and the werewolf who is her brother is hanging above her, I made a comment about it-saying she should be detecting the wet dog smell (it was raining outside). Later, the monk commented on the wet dog smell and our friends laughed hard. They knew about the line but did not let me know about it. That kept happening - I kept filling in the punchline before it happened and then everyone laughed when it came through. The movie IS pretty obvious in some places so this was not a hard thing to do.
We ended up being the only folks who showed up, which actually worked for us. It gave us the chance to talk with our friends exclusively, which was nice. A LOT of laughing happened.
Many folks had gone to the Texas Renaissance Festival in Houston that weekend so our hosts were not too surprised at the lack of attendees.
Anime Watching: We saw "Steamboy" and "Ninji Scroll". Both were interesting and enjoyable movies. I have started "The Vision of Escaflowne" TV series.
Manga: Read Fruits Basket 11. Was surprised Akito's gender was not revealed.
Aja! You are evil to leave me hanging with those "Emma" scanlations!
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!

--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.
--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's
