Okay, some might recall my lastest bitchin' where I was rather mad that most of my friends were headed of to Montreal and/or the montreal anime con and that nobody was offering me a ride!

Well, turns out I managed to get a ride and a place to stay and went to the con!

It was a small con, but it was fun. There was a lot of fanartists selling works there, a lot of anime goodies sold for cheap (wall scrolls for 13$! WOAH!)
and some videos and activities going on and about. There was also a lot of people dressed up in costumes. Hence, I now have a photo of me, hugging Cloud Strife. (mwahahaha) that will be exposed here when I get it XD
At the con, I obviously spent too much. I got three wall scrolls (one of Slayers that i've never seen! It's a drawing of the cast in the Slayers premium Style, one of Nana and one of Full moon O Sagashite, manga style), A rukia and Ichigo plushie, a t-shirt that says "Go to Jigoku" (deepest, darkest circle of hell), some signed drawings, slayers manga, fan manga, some doujinshis and a Nana bag with a Nightmare before x-mas wallet.
After the con, I went to see an expo at the Montreal Museum about pre-feodal japan. Then me and my friends hit the chinese market ^^

So overall, this weekend was very fun and very "asian" (did I mention we ate in chinese restaurants the whole time and the only time we ate at home we had something called chinese fondue? The odds!) So now i'm glad to be down and back in good old Occidental home and job.

This week I work seven days, but most of it is 4 hours shifts, so i'm good. I think this is caused by the fact that most of the kids there are still in high school and that this is the exam period for those kids (what a relief, I went throught that like two months ago *laughs*)

Aside from that I made Icons for a few people to thank them for following the story of my life *laughs* If I have forgotten you in this first batch, it's not because I don't love you, but rather because I din't figure out and idea for your icon yet. Hope you guys enjoy!

p.s. Photos of the con to come and driving lessons starting next week!

"Chaos and Peace" for Amelia Seyroon because she loves alternatives couples and that it's fun to be different. (Lina x Amelia)

"Star Bright" for Earthstar because I needed an excuse to draw her beautiful hair again.

"No place like Home" for Ichiban as a continuation of the Home Doujin. (Amelia x Zel)

"Bend like a Pretzel" for Annekay, cuz she likes One piece and Luffy is cool ^_^

Victor icon for Wesley, who really should update XD

Last but not least, a icon of Lina sporting a funny t-shirt for Yukiomoni because she rants like no one I know and I positivly love it.

Well, it's official, I'm back working at the bakery. My boss seems to be happy i'm back since i'm the only full time employee that can open and close. i'm thinking he's pretty pleased that I don't require training. So, I settled back in the routine of working at Aux Delices.
It was very dead these first two days of work, but my feet are still killing me. I lost the habit of running around and staying on my feet for 6 hours on end.

I also noticed that during off season (when we don't have the tourist armada roaming the Ottawa By market), the customers are so much more polite. Everybody I serve is all please and thank you as when the tourists are among us, I get orders barked at me and people who seem to get off on torturing employees.I don't get it. Are people naturally rude on vacation? They figure, i'm off and/or not from around here so I can behave like a five year old with foul langage? *sigh* Looking foward to those tourists yeah...

I AM looking foward to the japanese festival though. The japanese community of ottawa celebrates it, so a bunch of japanese people walk around in gorgeous kimonos all day at the market! I swear my camera lives for that day. Last year I felt like a background actor in Geisha. I was sad I was working the full day that day...I didn't get to see kimonos aside from when I peeked outside the window.

Oh, funny story has well. Some people might recall me telling then of a certain asian/canadian couple that did a weird thing in my store last summer. They basicly where newly weds I think...So the love bubbles where all over the bakery. Between every order, they looked at each other and wispered "I love you" as they kissed (Arck, to much fluff! Need air filtrer!) and then when they finally finished (10 minutes later...keep in mind a large amount of waiting hungry people was expanding) I punched the amount in the cash and lifted my head to demand money when I discovered...THESE PEOPLE ARE MAKING OUT ON MY COUNTER!

Seriously, they were.

And not just a little!

They angry mob of waiting hungry people pressured me to stop them, so I did (after a good while. They were very focused). Then the couple paid and left. Afterwards, a client complained about public affection. Another replied that love was a beautiful thing. Then a lady kicked in the conversation, and before you know it, the hungry angry people were having a long debate.

I think I never laughed so much in my life.

Well, today during my morning shift, I saw the couple again. They came in with their baby to buy cake.
Fast workers huh?

Wellllll...tonight I was rather tired from work so I took a long nap and then was too zombified to do much, So I decided to try out making icons. Here are the results...

I really like the "I can speak whale" one. I,ve made some from Howl's moving castle, Strangers in Paradise, Slayers, Nemo, Grimm and random doodle
