Dear Dairy,

It is day 3 in the war torn ravages of my apartment complex. We've lost over 30 people to the lack of water and the heat is becoming unbearable. Enemy troops took out our AC tower three days ago and our engineers have been unable to repair the damage. I fear all of my men may die soon from heat stroke. If this is my final journal entry I would like anyone who reads this to know; Ridgmar Square Apartments sucks so much ass that the ass they sucked imploded creating an alternate dimension in which everyone, man and woman, beast and bird, has black mustaches and goatees... the evil reverse world. And in that world the apartment sucks even more than a blackhole on steroids.

I am so ready to move out of this craptastic hole in the Earth. Our AC was shut off 3 days ago. It was suppose to be a 12 hours repair job. 7am to 7pm. It is day 3 and they have not repaired the damage. My computer is crying from the heat. My anime models are turning into melted slag and my body is begging for relief. I haven't slept worth a damn in the last 3 days because my bed has absorbed so much heat that it feels like I am laying in a bed of fire... August 25th... I just have to survive till the 25th and then I get my new apartment that isn't in a crappy bad neighborhood overrun with thugs and low lifes, an apartment that is newly constructed with its own AC system and not some devilish water tower that cools everyone at once.

This place sucks...


===================================

Also! Casting call! Well, not really a casting call but if you know a cosplayer that runs around here on DeviantART and I don't have them below in the Cosplayer list please let me know so I can expanded the database and make my page a one stop shop for finding good cosplayers around the community here. Thanks in advance everyone!

This month's featured cosplayer is a wonderful girl I met at Atsuicon last year. I had taken a snap shot of her before in cons past but that was just in passing. I really got to know her over the last year and she has become a close friend now. Her enthusiasm for cosplay is fantastic and she whips out cosplay characters quicker than anyone I know. This is not to suggest the quality of her work is shotty at all. It is quite amazing that she pulls off such wonderful outfits in such a short amount of time. She is great at posing and has perfect control over her facial expressions giving me the emotion I need when I need it. Some of the projects she is working on now has me more excited than she is. She is working on Windows XP-Tan and Leeloo Dallas (5th Element movie)! Those photoshoots are going to rock. So without further adieu I give you Miss Catzirella of San Antonio. Enjoy!

This list is subject to change as I get closer to the con dates and determine my financial situation. Here is the list as it currently stands:

MechaCon IV - Aug. 1st-Aug. 3rd - Lafayette, LO. (Confirmed)
AnimeFest - Aug. 29th-Sept. 1st - Dallas, TX (Confirmed)

If you are a cosplayer and you are going to be at any of these conventions and you want to schedule a personal shoot time feel free to NOTE me.
