So I know it has been a longtime since I posted. For that I am sorry. I have been very busy with Anime Conji, which took place this weekend. I am exhausted!

Hoshi has inspired me to start this blog up again. They are many things exciting in San Diego coming up. Conjecture and Gaslamp Gathering, there is so much to be excited for. Stay tuned to read more about them.

Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School

A few weeks ago I meet these two amazing people at a Buffy Brunch they hosted. Lily and Matthew. They run the local chapter of Dr Sketchy's Anti-Art School.

Dr Sketchy's is a monthly event, held at The Ruby Room in Hillcrest, where artists can come out and draw a beautiful model. However, there is the a twist. The model is always someone exotic, i.e. pierced, tattooed, and/or dressed in fetish wear. It makes for a fun, sexy time, and since it is at a bar you can order drinks!

Thanks to the Founder, Molly Crabapple, The phenomenon has spread to all the major cities in the US. They even stared one recently in Hawaii where an old clubbing friend of mine, Michelle Umpieg, was the featured model!

All levels of artists are welcome, from Amateurs to Professionals! Its held every 3rd Saturday of Month at The Ruby Room, starting at 3pm, 21 and up, and 10$ Cover.

Check it out!

Another fantastic room in my House of Dreams.

Return after a long nap

Sorry I have been gone for awhile but August was quiet a busy month! I have a couple of neat things to report about today.

Vampire Diaries turned out not to disappoint. However,I am a bit biased, as it was written by Kevin Williamson. He is the scribe behind many of my personal high school favorites: Scream, Dawson's Creek, I Know What You Did Last Last Summer, and Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Not only a talented writer but an out and proud Gay man as well.

I am on the third book of the Twilight Series, Eclipse. I can't stop reading it. Its written so badly but I am in so love with the story and the characters I just can't stop! I have already made connections with some local Twilight fan girls and plan on going to see New Moon with them, as no one in my group of friends wants anything to do with these books or these movies.

The season finale of I Heart Vampires was AMAZING. Poor Corbin, that girl just can't seem to catch a break. I cannot wait until Season 2. They BETTER be a season 2! Please watch it and support the show.

Tonight is the Season finale of True Blood. My eyes will be glued to the screen. Hopefully that crazy Maenad will get hers!

On my CD player I have been listening to Music From the Succubus Club, an official soundtrack for Vampire The Masquerade. That lovely 90's era Roleplaying Game of Personal Horror. Its a great soundtrack, featuring bands such a Cruxshadows and Bella Morte all singing songs about, well being undead.


However Vampires haven't been the only thing on my mind. Stay tuned for a full review of the interesting Live Action Roleplaying Games I have been participating and an update on Anime Conji as well.

Until then enjoy this sleepy little room in my House of Dreams.

Okay the Guild Season 3 premieres on Xbox Live today and MSN/Zune in a week. I' am So excited to see it. I absolutely love Felicia Day! But then again, you all already knew that. Beware! Huge *Spoilers*

Vampires

An hour and a half before dawn I am writing this. I think this would be the safest time.

So ever since I was 13 years old and read Interview with the Vampire, I have been in LOVE with Vampires. I even wrote a tragically melodramatic "novella" when I was 16 about a teenaged boy who has a love affair with a 400 year old vampire. Sound Familiar?

This has been a Vampire filled week for me, and I have been loving every minute of it! I started and finished reading Twilight. Yeah I know I am a johnny-come-lately but I finally gave in to see what all the fuss was about! Overall? A fun read. It is not by far the greatest novel I have ever read. However, it did touch on a few emotional cords that hearken back to my days as the constant new kid in school back when I was a teenager. I went to Five High Schools over five years, including one with a student body of 400 in a small town in Ohio. Bella I felt your pain. Too bad I didn't have an Edward of my own to come rescue me. Well, outside my own imagination I mean! I watched the movie and balled like a 13 year old girl. But then again I am known by my friends to cry at the drop of a hat.

I got my Sunday fix of Trueblood. I a funny, exciting and all together sexy Vampire show. Every time Bill takes Miss Stackhouse in his arms and says in that smooth Louisiana accent "Sookie" I get chills up my spine.

Tonight I checked out the new episodes of the hilarious Heather's Vlog, about the Vampire Heather who is best friends with Kelly from the Liam Show. From there I learned about I Heart Vampires. An awesome new web series from Take180.com. I got so addicted. One of the coolest aspects of the show is that fans get to write in advice and plots for the characters to do next. A truly interactive experience! After the season finale I am hoping to send in some of my ideas about what those crazy fan girls should do next.




Gotta go, Dawn comes soon, and I'm not talking about Michelle Trachtenberg.

Just another (blood-filled) room in my House of Dreams.

Kevin Smith on Twilight

I am so sad I missed this panel at Comic Con 2009. Here is Geek Messiah Kevin Smith, and his views on Twilight.



I love this man. Someday I want to make a..er movie with him. ^_^

Another room in the House of Dreams.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm

I think I might have to start playing World of Warcraft again. This looks absolutely amazing! No Pandarens or Monk class though, just a tiny bit disappointed about that. However, a chance to play a Goblin Demolitionist? SCORE!

Another room in my House of Dreams.
