New Jobs and Conventions

I have not blogged for a while because I there was no new news until now.
I have a new job starting Monday. It going to be a hit on the wages but I will survive.
This means I will have a chance to attend some conventions. First up is a trip to the Sanrio store (double stamp Wednesday) to pick up a lanyard for my con badges and a wallet; I was putting off the wallet purchase to replace my old and falling apart one. One problem with using a women’s wallet is finding one that is a size of a billfold and one that can hold my stuff. Men’s wallets seem to hold more cards than women’s wallets. I also bough more sticks for the laptop.

The conventions I will attend:

Kumoricon the Anime Convention in Portland Oregon Sep 5-7 2009.

Rainfurrest the furry convention at the Seattle Airport Marriott Sep 18-20 2009

I hope to see some of you (older fans) at Kunoricon or even at Rainfurrest. I will have my Hello Kitty backpack at both.

Hello Kitty Online: a SEA Odyssey

Originally I was not going to play the Singapore Malaysia founders beta but I am a bit impatient waiting for Aeria games to move to beta and release. Since the game is in English, I had no problem playing.

Downloading was a pain, it we ether using horribly slow peer to peer torrent, the technology is worst than old BBS protocols. Direct download problem was I get could not get a download with  no CRC errors in the file. After somebody posted in smaller files I was able to download and install. 

The SG/My version gave me a chance to sample the new changes to the game since the Happy Hearts event.

My SEA Avatar

First I went incognito so I do not look like the ugly American. The clothing has a South East Asian look to them.

Hello Kitty in Graphite Pencil

Hello Kitty in Graphite Pencil

 As will as Kettifing my life my other hobbies include drawing. I decide to do some still-life of my Hello Kitty collection. The first two times I was not pleased with the results, the third is an improvement

G-sales Grab Bags and Being A Male Fan

It has been a while since I had been shopping for kitty items, I had a little extra for selling on EBay and I was open to buy a few cheap items. Normally on Saturdays I do the Estate to EBay thing, like any fan I check Craigslist to see if any garage sales have any Hello Kitty items; one popped up so I added the sale to my route.

 Kitty Riding Shot Gun

Last week, I packed up Big Kitty (it her turn to ride shotgun for the month) and found the Hello Kitty sale and pick a few sheets of stickers and a grab bag with a pin, looks like the Los Vegas version.  I had to cut G-sale short so I could attend little fur meet Pioneer Place a down town mall,    a fur meet is where  we get together and share  what is going on in our lives and a little art. Sometime we would go to a movie or go out to a meal. One of a good friend, knowing how much I like Hello Kitty gave me a Hello Kitty antenna ball. Unfortunately it was lost today when I brushed against a tree branch.

 

After the meet I checkout the down town Sanrio store and picked up a 10.00 grab bag, I got a bracelet, charm, a cup and bowl set , a Chococat   purse and Panaappe purse wallet. I was hoping for plushies, trinkets and stickers. Still I got my money’s worth.

 Grab Bag

 

This week G-sale trip I decided to check out some new territory for me, Vancouver Saturday, Friday I stuck local and picked up this bag. I am using and hope some do not get the wrong idea. Personally I do not; I am a free spirit.

 My New Bag

Saturday in Vancouver was a bust, I head home around 3PM and stopped over Sanrio grand opening and picked up some free paper fans and did the obligatory picture with Hello Kitty.

Me and Hello Kitty

This brings a dilemma being a hello Kitty male fan: while Sanrio is mainly feminine there are many items like my bedding, car accessories and plushies I can have, collect and use, but there are things like women clothing and accessories I have no use or can not use because I am a male. Some because of function other simple it is physically impossible as a guy. A HK purse just will not work for me except to collect other example I can think of a few others like women panties, and um ah…. The (can’t mention this Sanrio product). Oh well I have some nice items for a swap at Hello Kitty Junkies.
